Is Evolution An Accidental Event Or A Predetermined Event? by Hier(m): 12:14pm On Oct 01, 2018 |
Just for fun I mean, is the path taken by evolution a predetermined one or all happened by accident, and if all happened by accident, can an accidental event bring about perfection? If it was predestinated, does evolution have a mind? let the brain war begin. |

It has to be predetermined by a higher power. Dinosaurs evolved to what we have as poultry today. It had to be predetermined for survival of our race. Do you think man discovered fire by accident? Or did man learn to walk on both legs, upright by accident? I think not. There's a higher power at play here. And no, I'm not talking about the Jewish god 1 Like |

[quote author=Earthbound post=71687264][/quote] I can also claim the above and claim its right because it makes sense to me more than the ape theory

If the universe is a deterministic one then yes evolution is "predetermined". If it is not then the results of evolution are a "fortunate" outcome of chance. 1 Like |

Earthbound: Of course, there is a higher power. The Toothfairy did it. |

LordReed:Greetings sir. There is no evidence so far of a deterministic universe. However, LordReed: Everything we know so far shows overwhelming evidence that Evolution is based on outcomes of chance events. |

This is known as the teleological question in evolution. There is ZERO scientific evidence that evolution is "UNDIRECTED". Any such statement, THAT EVOLUTION IS "UNDIRECTED", in the definition of the theory of evolution is pure conjecture. On the contrary, even science is accruing mounting evidence that evolution is "DIRECTED". The half-cocked defence against directedness is the mantra "remember all this took millions of years". This argument is used to convince gullible laypeople who have a weak idea of the real issue. "Millions of years", or even "billions of years", may be a long time, but that has to be balanced against the huge number of molecular changes required to convert a replicating molecule into a human, and the vanishingly small success rate of each such incremental change. Which one wins? That is the question evolutionists avoid while they misguide laypeople. The evidence is that the number of changes required, and their frequency of success, requires far more than billions of years to have done the job "UNDIRECTED", and simply through the bumbling processes of random molecular motion. |

Hier:If evolution is predetermined by a supreme entity, then that supreme entity is imperfect. |
