Clinton Richard Dawkins (born 26 March 1941) is an English ethologist, evolutionary biologist, and author. He is an emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford, and was the University of Oxford's Professor for Public Understanding of Science from 1995 until 2008.
Dawkins first came to prominence with his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, which popularised the gene-centred view of evolution and introduced the term meme. With his book The Extended Phenotype (1982), he introduced into evolutionary biology the influential concept that the phenotypic effects of a gene are not necessarily limited to an organism's body, but can stretch far into the environment. In 2006, he founded the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science.
Dawkins is known as an outspoken atheist. He has claimed in interviews to be an agnostic about many matters of religious faith, instead endorsing reason.

Maybe not ulterior motives, but a brain unable to form any motives at all. Richard Dawkins is a thinker, a man who can think, and form ideas out of his research. Young Earth theorists and other "thinkers" cannot get past what they have been "taught". It's called indoctrination. Those people will never recover from the malady that infects their thinking, and it will take eons, for them to recover. I personally know dozens of them. They're almost exclusively Americans, and there is no reason to think that they will ever begin to think with any degree of intelligence. We have to live with them, we have to tolerate a level of intelligence that beggars belief. But as long as you know the truth, your sanity will remain secure.

The evidence for evolution is so overwhelmingly sound that one would have to be willfully and intentionally ignorant not to believe it. Arguing creation over evolution is like arguing that water isn't wet. The story of creation is just that a story with zero evidence, that's why it's called "The Story of Creation".

Obviously not: since you been told there is "zero evidence" and you allowed them to decide for you. Do you think reading or hearing just one side, anyone can make a honest or a good decision? When a person knows just one side, is it fair to attack, or slander the other side?

Bottom. Richard Dawkins teaches the universe came from "literally nothing." Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. We can't get anything from "literally nothing." We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God.

Quotation: "With respect to those meanings of "human" that are relevant to the morality of abortion, any fetus is less human than an adult pig." -Richard Dawkins
"The earth is 10,000 years old" argument works if you consider us as only "seeing" a false reality as in Plato's cave or the dashboard theory whereby we believe what we are seeing on an airplane's dashboard of the airplane is the actual plane - instead of a representation of a generic airplane in cartoon fashion. If we could only see two-dimentional, a painting of the earth and believed it was the earth, when in fact, it is a painting, then the painting could be 10,000 years old. But if we were able to break apart the paint making up the painting, and measure the age of the molecules making up the paint, we'd likely find the molecules to be older than the painting. So it's possible and likely that all that we are able to detect with our eyes or by any other means of detection, is nonetheless, been "created" within the last 10,000 years and only made to appear to be much older; even having been composed of much older atomic particles.

@@cezar211091 Just do a little more research into Quantum Physics to see how things are created. Keep in mind, most humans are relying on only their 5 senses to define their reality. For example in this macro field, we can see a collection of skeletons in a museum from so many different species and then a scientist will use reasoning to explain how they all took hundreds of thousands of years to evolve into those forms. Being a graduate from OSU with a BS in biology, I have accepted the hundreds of thousands of years to evolve theory. However, nowdays we know about Great Leaps in Evolution, along with cross-breeding to create new species, the foods grandparents ate or sudden environmental impacts to one generation changing future generations into intollerant of foods their older family eats, fear of certain environmental changes, etc... as when chicks run and scatter when a shadow passes over them - is an ingrained animal instinct picked up by the DNA from prior generations. Mice grand-pubs being programed to fear the smell of cherry blosoms. Therefore, how are we to say that our own bodies weren't "created" from a higher intelligence tinkering by mixing or CRISPERing? The creators of SIMULATORS are saying "This is so easy, to make things that look so real, that it's impossible to assume that a highly intelligent culture has not already evolved and created simulators that we are now living in." If you look at the Cosmic-Ouroboros; that everything in nature is fractile and takes on similar forms; from largest to smallest. Epigenetics being proven in the lab. Wild birds mimicing the sounds of outer space without their being aware of their copying behaviors consciously. Brain scientists saying our brains work more like a radio receiver; whereby our thoughts and personalities are being beamed into us from an exterior source; with us being avatars. Medatators and pass life regressionists saying we are living the fantasy program of a holodeck so that we learn spiritual lessons. Everyday we awaken in a different body, in order to learn what it is like to be them. The brain being the holder of memories that any soul can tap into much like we use to pop a movie into a VHS or CD player. So I didn't write the above out of emotions. I'm rational, like Spock.

What is biological entropy and how is it offset? A natural, or normal process, is simply the normal workings of a system in place, which means that a system cannot derive from a natural process over time, because a natural process will always be the result of a system in place, rather than the cause of one. The second law of thermodynamics states that a thermodynamic system will always be found in a state of disorder or moving towards it in accordance with entropy law, which means that the universe began as complex, rather than simple, because the progression of entropy is a state of decline from ordered complexity into disordered complexity. Any process that tends toward disorder over time cannot self-improve in a matter of time; So adding time to a biological process that tends toward disorder will only increase the level of disorder there is in due time, because a biological system is also a thermodynamic system, and is thereby subject to entropy law. The only way for biological entropy to be offset, is for the DNA proofreading mechanism to correct and delete a genetic mutation, because DNA proofreading and DNA modification is a thermodynamic instructional system that inherits genetic mistakes. So, because the DNA proofreading system is designed to correct a genetic mutation in order to maintain the systems level of efficiency, it will mean that no amount of slight mutations is ever going to improve the thermodynamic efficiency of an organism over time; Leaving the theory of evolution without a working mechanism for biological improvement. *Quotation: “In fact, over the last 100 years, almost all of biology has proceeded independent of evolution, except evolutionary biology itself. Molecular biology, biochemistry, and physiology, have not taken evolution into account at all.” - Evolutionist Marc Kirschner, cell biologist, biochemist and the founding Chairman of the Department of Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School.
It's interesting but also sad that we still have to address this issue, more than a century and a half after Darwin formulated it. There is by now sufficient and definitive evidence to make clear that evolution is no longer a "theory," it's a fact. Indeed, way back in 1968, my Geology Professor at BYU in Utah opened his first lecture by asserting that fact. It's not really even remotely controversial any more.

I'm sorry but science should never stop investigating and never shut down debate. There are many significant differences between Darwin's version of evolution and our modern version. There also remains a lot of unknowns and gaping holes. So no good scientist should ever assume new evidence will not arise that may challenge the current evolution hypothesis.
"It is an astounding fact that starting from nothing more complicated than rock and sand the process of evolution by natural selection gave rise to eventually us." - Richard Dawkins This is simply not true and an astounding statement for Richard Dawkins to make - evolution is change in the heritable characteristics of biological living creatures over successive generations and certainly cannot explain how rocks and sand started living.

Life started from rocks because, rocks have emanated all sorts of chemicals into the water and the chemical soup has evolved into organisms, from that point onwards, single-celled life forms started to evolve with minor changes over thousands of years let's say. We do not live long enough to see these changes but the changes exist whether we like it or not and over billions of years, we are the result of that Evolution. We, the Earth, and the Universe will continue to evolve forever whether you believe it or not.

He's a nitwit. Richard Dawkins teaches the universe came from "literally nothing." Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. We can't get anything from "literally nothing." We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God. God is the reason for us and all we have. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fJ2B09yHj7y5iLg.html “However improbable the origin of life might be, we know it happened on Earth because we are here.” -Richard Dawkins.

Common descent and the evolutionary theory vs common sense and the law of procreation: The evolutionary theory of common descent implies that all species have derived from a common ancestor, which was first put forward Charles Darwin who asserted his ideas from Carlos Linnaeus. Carlos Linnaeus assumed that all varieties of creatures held a distinct characteristic that related certain groups of creatures as being in the same phylum or group by way of genealogical descent. This gave rise the term, mammal, which is used by the evolutionary theory to conclude that all life has a common ancestor. But what the term, mammal, does not take into account, is a species method of reproduction, which must be taken into account in order to define a breeding group in terms of a phylum. Procreation is a copying process that is limited by a set of parameters that act as a set of rules. These rules are applicable to procreation in that a species can only be defined as breeding group or phylum, while anything outside of the breeding group will be defined as a separate species or kind. So, because each group of human beings can procreate, it will mean that mankind is only one species, which in turn, defines mankind as only one kind. A common ancestor that relates all creatures into a single family tree or phylum has been rejected by genetic research on the basis that there is no such creature that can house all genetic traits. DNA RNA transcription is a copying process, and the rule with any copying process is that each copy must derive from an original copy, because only the original copy will have all of the information for variation. This implies that all life began as complex with separate ancestors in terms of a phylum, because if the physical features that an organism has were not with the first copy that its genome began replication with, then there is nothing for the copying process to select from in terms of physical traits. So, for this reason, speciation leads to a reduction in terms of variability, because all of the information for variation has derived from an original copy, which cannot be a bacterium, because a bacterium does not include a set of genetic traits that can be expressed by every organism. When variability is passed down to the offspring hereditarily, there will always be a loss of variability due to the copying process by definition of the fact that a variant is only a variety within a kind. This means that speciation leads to a reduction in variability on the basis that a variant cannot express all of the information for variation, while the original copy does. And this also proves that each creature has not derived from a common ancestor, but from distinct groups instead, because the DNA RNA copying process limits the amount of variation that an organism can express in terms of a standard. So, in order for a standard to occur in terms of a species, then a biological kind is also required, because it is the word "kind" that will define a group of species in terms of a common ancestor. Carlos Linnaeus attempted to divide all groups of creatures into a phylum of separate species, thereby establishing the Linnaean classification system as being based on separate kinds. And though Linnaeus' description of separate kinds allowed for the introduction of multiple species within a kind, he also asserted that separate kinds were of common descent, such as apes and humans. Charles Darwin took things one step further by asserting that all species have derived from one kind of creature despite the fact that no one creature contains all of the physical characteristics that each creature has. This means that all living creatures are broken up into different kinds with separate species within a kind so that an open breeding population is favoured over a closed breeding population. So, because DNA RNA transcription is a copying process, it will mean that all of the physical characteristics of a species are relative to a particular kind that its genome began replication with, because it is the kind of creature that implies a standard version, while a species is simply a version or variety of the standard in place. So, a biological kind is any standard version that will speciate over time into distinct varieties, which proves that not all creatures have derived from a common ancestor. While a group of species within a particular kind have derived from a common ancestor by reason of deduction, because there is a standard version in place, from which, speciation has occurred. So, for this reason, a species cannot be defined unless a particular kind has been identified first, because a group of species will always be the result of a biological kind, rather than the cause of one.

It is indeed not possible to grasp the full development of the common law without first exploring its profound religious dimensions, and its motivating faith. Until at least the early 19th century, the common law was heavily influenced by Christian theology. This theology holds that there is a natural or divine reason for the existence of basic laws, and that these laws stand above human legislation, thus reflecting universal and unchangeable principles according, to which, everyone ought to live. - Source: Rediscovering the Christian Roots of the Common Law Legal System (Published by Hein Online Legal Resources).

Why are snowflakes evidence of design? In the late 18th century, German physicist and musician, Ernst Chladni, demonstrated how vibrations could be used to create striking geometric imagery by spreading fine sand across the top of a metal plate and then running a violin string along the side of its edge. Chladni’s demonstrations show that the sand will settle into distinct geometric patterns depending on the frequency that the sound waves produce by the violin string rubbing against the edge of the metal plate. When the Chladni plate, for instance, vibrates in one of its modes, a hexagonal geometric pattern appears in the sand on top of the plate, which is why geometric patterns, such as circles and triangles overlapping each other, are found in nature. Centuries later, in the 1960's, a Swiss physician named Hans Jenny built on Chladni’s experiments in an effort to study vibrational phenomena, which he called cymatics. Cymatics is a physics term which refers to the study of visible effects that sound and vibrations cause on matter, and everything that is organic or inorganic vibrates at a certain frequency, because the structure of an atom is vibrational. For example: A snowflake is born when water vapour travels through the air and condenses by changing from a gas to a solid which then forms into an ice crystal. Water is a liquid crystal that holds memory in terms of its geometric shape at a molecular level, and when water molecules are vibrated the molecule will take on the particular shape that the vibration is making, which gives each snowflake a signature pattern. Sound is not only visible in terms of geometric patterns, and is therefore deterministic, but also, the frequencies must be in tune with one another in order for a molecule to be stable within its environment, which is evidence of design due to the presence of a rhythm (or sequence) that is held in tune (or calibrated) according to a method (or standard). When musical vibrations are channelled through a malleable medium, such as a liquid or gas, the vibrations cause the medium to arrange itself into visible geometries with overlapping shapes, and this is what actually causes the unique pattern for a snowflake to form, because as the vapour is solidifying into an ice-flake, a geometric pattern is formed simultaneously, which is entirely due to the resonant vibrational frequencies that are affecting the particles at a subatomic level. So, because a snowflake can retain its geometric shape, and because the geometric shape is the result of electromagnetic vibrations, it will mean that there is a space for memory that is both vibrational, as well as electromagnetic. The arrangement of atoms to make up a molecular bond is arranged according to a set of base frequencies from the force of the vibrational resonances that are produced by the electromagnetic polar effect between the positively charged protons and the negatively charged electrons. The signature frequency of each resonant impulse according to a scale of different frequencies in ratio specifies for the arrangement of a molecular structure, which is evidence of creativity, because any set of frequencies that are in ratio with one another according to a rhythm in tune is by definition, specific. The structure of a molecule must be synchronized according to a set of base frequencies that are in ratio with one another in order for a rhythm to occur that is in tune, which is predetermined according to each figure or value that each base frequency has in terms of musical scale or notation. And atoms must be in tune with one another or they will not bond, which is why atoms were indeed created, because the stability of a molecular structure is depending upon the atoms to be in tune with one another according to a set of base frequencies that are in rhythm, (or ratio) the same as it is for musical scale when a group of instruments are working together in synchrony, or symphony. The structure of an atom is constant motion, which means that an atom must work according to rhythm in sequence so that the electrons do not collide with one another. And anything that works according to a rhythm in sequence, is by definition, specific, which is evidence of design, because there is only specified and unspecified to chose from. The structure of an atom also works according to a cycle in place that is repeatable under observation, and anything that is repeatable under observation, is also specific, which cannot occur at random by definition of the fact that anything random will be unpredictable.

Natural selection works, but to select the fittest, not to create more complexity. Dawkins never deals with that fact: how a blind unguided change at the gene level is able to come up with more complexity, knowing that in order to gain it there are several parts involved. About the missing links in the fossil record the professor forgets all he learned about statistics and what samples mean. Centuries of collecting specimens and not a single one represents an “in-between” link between two already classified species. The continuous trend forecasted by the evolution theory has no evidence in nature, none. All are big leaps of an ever increasing complexity among the species of the tree of life. The claim that missing links is a matter of time is like doing a poll and getting 100% preference for only one candidate but still argue about the possibility of the other candidate not only to appear, but to win the race. Lastly, he doesn’t deal with the Cambrian explosion either, which is something Darwin himself left as an unsolved mystery. Sorry fellow skeptics, on this matter science just doesn’t have the answers.

@@sstolarik That mountain analogy doesn't explain anything, it's just a pears and apples explanation for the masses, you included, obviously. What I mean is that one gene has a long set of nitrogenous bases grouped in codons (set of three bases) which account for each individual amino acid in a protein through the mRNA. The average protein has 400 amino acids, which means that the average gene has 1,200 nitrogenous bases plus the codons to indicate its start and finish. The gene creation, which is blind as we know, has to be so precise that it needs to contain the blue print for the right protein. There are molecules that are not proteins, like lipids, or starch that need a set of proteins to be synthetized. Moreover, pretty much all the organelles in a cell are comprised by parts. All parts need to be in place in order to function, hence, a missing part makes the whole structure useless, and all of them come from a number of different genes. As a result, what Dawkins is suggesting is that over a long time, randomly, genes are being created (remember, more than 1,000 bases in the correct order) and kept for no reason until for some magical law of probabilities a set of genes become useful to one another to form a certain organelle, synthetizing the right protein (s) that the cell might have needed. Just like he said he has no answer for the origin of life because a DNA-generating protein needs to start the process from a thread of RNA, making the whole thing an unsolvable chicken and egg situation. Actually, the same applies to all new complexities in the cell. On the other hand, do you have an explanation for the Cambrian explosion?, and, do you believe, like Dawkins, that some time in the future paleontologists are finally going to find a missing link between any of the million species we have missing links for? (and in the process suggesting that statistics is a black magic field or something). Finally, I have only one agenda, following the truth. And I can tell BS when I see it. It amazes me to see scientists not realizing they just don't have the answers to this, but still insist in an idea that has less and less basis as the knowledge becomes greater.

Dawkins is a dolt, whig or not. Richard Dawkins teaches the universe came from "literally nothing." Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. We can't get anything from "literally nothing." We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God. God is the reason for us and all we have. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fJ2B09yHj7y5iLg.html “However improbable the origin of life might be, we know it happened on Earth because we are here.” -Richard Dawkins.

@Bless-the-Name

The Cold Wind of Reality We have no direct evidence for the existence or non-existence of a God. There is, however, a mountain of indirect evidence - but indirect evidence, being subject to arbitration, allows one person to perceive the information differently to another (or even be dismissive of it). Therefore, there can only be the assertion of a "belief" that is built upon indirect evidence for or against the existence of a creator - so the demand for direct evidence is presumptuous fallacy. In short ... we are wasting our time trying to convince anyone of such a thing: especially when the scripture says we live by faith - and both atheists and theists have some semblance of faith. The question is: which faith is correct and how should it be embraced? Atheists have faith in science and mankind to self-govern - whereas theists have faith in the one who laid His life down to rule as a benevolent King. This means we need to take a pragmatic look at the options on the table if we are to move forward with efficacy toward effective resolution. The problem is: both atheists and theists are invested in their worldview - to a dogma of cognitive dissonance. Atheists claim religion has been the driving force behind the evil we see in the world - whereas the theist perceive sin is the driving force. They are both are correct - to a point - but neither are exemplifying their position when they start disparaging each other. To make matters worse - neither are aware the scripture does not sanction religion and neither are aware sin is delusion. The good news is: this can easily be broached if we break down the meaning of the tree of knowledge of good and evil: Tree = Source of information Knowledge of Good = Accurate info Knowledge of Evil = Inaccurate info Partake = Digest and believe Fruit = Ideas, beliefs etc Sin = Delusion (spiritual death) The scripture defines sin as missing the mark because it is the state of mind in which a person seeks to justify wicked behaviour; which then leads to the galvanising of hierarchy. The scripture even confirms this by highlighting the introduction of sin would cause the stronger to rule over the weaker when God said, "Your desire shall be to your husband and he shall rule over you." The dictionary defines religion as: a belief in a superhuman controling power. However, that is merely the semblance of a faith - because religion is an institution that has established hierarchy, using doctrines, that serve the interest of those within the hierarchy (including government). This is how we know the scripture doesn't actually sanction religion. Indeed ... the New Testament testifies to the fact Y'shua (Jesus) took issue with those who create religion. ... so we can all agree - religion is bad. This means we only need to address the cause of delusion (sin) if we are to rectify the situation once and for all. This is where science can, and should, take centre stage to establish correct understanding of reality - and our place in it. Science is the process by which careful observation leads to the conclusion of analysis of information which, after formulating an idea into hypothesis or theory, is tested rigorously by experiment and peer review. This is to say: the scientific method includes the process of disproof to ensure falsifiable theories (beliefs) are not idiosyncratic. For this reason: a theory is considered a "provisional truth" because science is continually self-correcting in its pursuit of understanding as resources improve the quality of data that is assessed. This mechanism allows science to castigate the vulgar and exemplify the intellectual - but science has developed a weakness for asserting indirect evidence as direct evidence to propagate favourable theories that create a ceiling on progress. Science "should" use the scientific method to root out theories that are error: so it should never consider indirect evidence as direct evidence - because indirect evidence is subject to arbitration. Mutation, for example, is direct evidence for adaptation and, at the same time, indirect evidence for transition. This is because we have observed the genome to rearrange information and cause a living organism to look (slightly) different to its parents. This is direct evidence for adaptation - because slight change is observable. Science has never observed the genome to increase information and cause the living organism to become a different type. This is indirect evidence for transition - because drastic change is not observable. The moment science asserted mutation as direct evidence for transition - it became an idiosyncratic belief (delusion) for those who refuse to acknowledge the genome has never been observed to increase. Then the argument begins with atheists citing rock strata as evidence for millions of years (which they back-up with unreliable dating methods) - while the theists cite rock strata as evidence for rapid formation by a flood (which they back-up with hydrological sorting experiments). The point I'm making here is: we have come full circle - because indirect evidence is subject to arbitration. Somewhere within that circle is the Word of God offering a warning to avoid anything that causes delusion - and science, having the noble cause of rooting out delusion, has become the very thing that causes delusion. Perhaps I should conclude this article by offering a warning against embracing the delusional estate and encouraging everyone to embrace the eternal estate. ... but this article has already said enough for both atheist and theist to ponder.

Three dimensions: Ideational; Energy or force; and the grossly physical. Evolution takes place in all of them and in their replication; the human form. Denying all except the physical, gross matter as origin is a bottom up rather than a top down of evolution. The correct, and rational, precession is devolution, evolution, involution: a circular progression. Evolution becomes linear on the ground: the worms eye view. Its origin in space: the bird’s eye view. That space, the heavens, played no role in evolution is nineteenth century thinking.

Because the palms and soles of the feet have an additional, very strong, tough and wear-resistant layer of skin - they have five layers, rather than the four present elsewhere. It is there to protect the hands and feet from friction. This additional layer of skin also provides additional protection from the sun's ultraviolet because it is very dense, therefore these areas do not require such a high concentration of the dark pigment found elsewhere that acts as a protection built in sunscreen. Moreover, the soles and palms are generally not exposed to the sun as much as (say) the face. A very tanned person will generally have pale palms and soles, because these p[arts of the body are turned away from the sun.

Obviously because humans have been walking only on their feet for many generations, and only using their hands for tools and so on, for a similar time, palms and soles will diverge a bit. But in terms of why dark skinned people have pale palm and sole skin - the reason is the same. Protection by dark pigment was not required, so it did not evolve.

Any church, no matter what is denomination, would not only BAN such an one but give them over to the authorities. Jesus said in several of the Gospels "Anyone who is brutal to children should be thrown into the depths of the ocean with a large stone tied around his neck". I guess that doesn't bode well for those who encourage pedophilia. I'm betting that's not his only wicked crime anyway. He's a very hateful and wicked man.

@@redfaux74 Well common sense fails. In my country we had a Royal Commission into institutional child abuse and discovered it to be covered up in many churches. The Salvation Army had a ring of pedophiles that auctioned children off for sexual abuse. No church escaped. A major Pentecostal church is dealing with cover ups od child abuse right now. So, if you trust common sense then you will not be right. Or, think about it differently, humans are fallible, sinful and often can be wicked indeed. Churches always have a power structure and pedophiles gravitate to power and control. They often live double lives and hide their tracks. Churches have always been great places to hide wickedness in. They allow for powerful control of members and abuse and scapegoating. Why would pedophiles not be in churches? And the culture of trusting leaders because they are Christian leaders is a trap. I for one am openly skeptical in my churches. And my ministers know I will challenge them and call BS. I refute the culture of subjection.

But keep in mind, the standard God gives of being brutal to a child (or sexual abuse, rape) is given the death penalty. Without exception. To say that sexual sin cannot be in any denomination goes completely against common sense. To my knowledge no other church has openly hid and moved their perverts like the Catholic church. We expose and punish them permanently. They should be jailed and prosecuted to full to extent of the law. No exception ever.

Where did the propensity of peahens to favour peacocks with big tail feathers, & thus promote sexual selection for that, come from ? There is a good answer but I haven't heard it it yet.
@alanthompson8515

Bigger tail feathers = greater energy cost to male, but = a more visible display = higher chance of mating = gene survival = job done* = positive feedback, (a hallmark of sexual selection via mate choice) leading to a runaway process where a courtship signal becomes more and more extreme. *without any intention, of course. Size of display has to be the key, else the smaller (but more active and/or more gaudy) immature males would get the girls.

@@alanthompson8515 Ok so bigger tail feathers makes them more noticeable given existing peahen genes, no need for a mutation. If a mutation arose causing peahens to be repelled by excessive plumage then presumably that wouldn't be selected because size of display is such an important signal of longevity. Unless that is: an alternative, less-expensive, signal for longevity emerges, such as grey beard ?

Comments on Richard Dawkins - The Evidence For Evolution- The Greatest Show On Earth 80 Ryan McDougald The Smithsonian lnstitution's Department of Anthropology has offered the following official statement pertaining to the historical reliability of the OT:.. the historical books of the OT are as accurate historical documents as any that we have from antiquity and are in fact more accurate than many of the Egyptian, Mesopotamian, or Greek histories. These Biblical records can be and are used as are other ancient documents in archaeological work." Not only does archaeology confirm that the Bible is historically accurate but professional archaeologists use the Bible as a guide in their work. The great Jewish archaeologist Nelson Glueck, who is known to be one of the top three archaeologists in history, has stated the following: "No archaeological discovery has ever contradicted a single, properly understood Biblical statement."

No, the myth is you actually think. He believes we got the universe by "literally nothing" and you can't give evidence either for a natural creation. The 1LofT states that energy can't be created or destroyed, it can't happen naturally. One aspect of the 2LofT shows that the universe is winding down, usable energy is becoming less usable. It is clear creation had to be done supernaturally at some point yet it is still denied because people are just too proud to accept that, among other things.

Abiogenesis?
@alanthompson8515
Жыл бұрын
Oh dear. Talk about stating the obvious. Please take note of the following important facts re: how life started. 1. The theory of evolution provides the explanation of the observed scientific fact of evolution (i.e., that species change over time to become new species and that species alive today have shared ancestors in the past). Whether or not we have an explanation for how life first arose is irrelevant to the fact that evolution occurs and also to whether or not the theory of evolution is the best explanation for that fact. 2. The study of evolution in general (not just the theory of evolution) is only concerned with how life evolves and how it has evolved, regardless of where it first came from or how it got here. Whether that first life was the result of a slow chemical process with many precursors, whether it arrived here from some other planet on a space rock, or whether some sort of alien intelligence or deity poofed it into existence is irrelevant, since the explanation for that does not need to be known in order to study what happened after that point. 3. But there’s one other important point to consider, and that is that abiogenesis (literally “life from non-life”) is really not a theory or even a hypothesis. Instead, it’s a necessary conclusion from what we now know about the universe. After all, we now know that some 13.8 billion years ago our universe was in an incredibly hot and dense state that would have been completely impossible of sustaining any sort of life whatsoever. Matter as we now know it didn’t even exist until hundreds of thousands of years later. Therefore, regardless of how it happened or what was responsible, it has to be true that life originally arose out of non-life. BTW Even if you want to claim that God created man out of the dust of the Earth as it says in the Bible, that’s still an example of abiogenesis.

Abiogenesis is not yet solved. That doesn't mean it didn't happen. There are many hypothesis for how it happened, and you are welcome to give the credit to God if you want. I'm just happy you understand and believe evolution in a general sense and see its beauty. That's something we can agree on, God designed or not, evolution is amazing.
