Butterflyleo: You will not bait me into an argument about subjectivity and objectivity.
Listen carefully since you fail to reason logically as you should.
You say morality is set by society right? And I asked you, WHO MAKES UP THE SOCIETY? IS IT NOT INDIVIDUALS?
Before those laws are set, WHO INTRODUCES THEM? Is it not individuals?
"Society" is not a living thing. Humans in that society are the living things.
Individuals present INDIVIDUAL ideas of morality before any is adopted by a society. THE SOURCE FOR SUCH MORAL THOUGHT OR MORAL ADOPTIONS COME FROM INDIVIDUALS.
This is common sense. Are you sure? Can you believe someone said their own morality was programmed into their dna by some divine being!? |

nwabekeyi: please can you kindly rephrase your question? I didn't get it Forgive me. Is dna and genes the same thing? |
Christianity Etc › Re: I Want To Take Questions From Creationists And Educate Them On Evolution. by budaatum: 2:19pm On Jun 05, 2018 |
nwabekeyi: yes insertion, deletion and duplication are all rearrangements.
This is how it works, we have two forms of genes, the introns(non-expressed genes) and exons (the expressive gene), only the exons can be translated into proteins. Some times, exons added by exonization process ( I.e. converting introns to exons). And sometimes, exons are converted to introns or an already existing exon will be rearranged.
So what vaxx could have said was the addition addition, rearrangement or removal of exons in a DNA and not addition of a new set to genes to the DNA. I have found that exons are the coding regions and not the dna, which itself is not the gene? Is their relationship like russian dolls which fit in one another? |
Christianity Etc › Re: I Want To Take Questions From Creationists And Educate Them On Evolution. by budaatum: 12:50pm On Jun 05, 2018 |
nwabekeyi: yes, addition but evolution mustn't necessarily be as a result of addition of an exon (translated gene), lose of exons and rearrangement of exons also leads to evolution. I think "insertion, deletion and duplication" can be synonyms for gene "rearrangement, lose and addition", though not in specific order. Both phrases can sum up to one another. If so, the only disagreement with vaxx would be in the specifics of terms used, wouldn't you think? |
Christianity Etc › Re: I Want To Take Questions From Creationists And Educate Them On Evolution. by budaatum: 11:10am On Jun 05, 2018 |

vaxx: you need then to further study your biology textbook? as i said. there are evidence of mutations that cause the deletion, duplication or change of alleles, but never an addition. (For example, if the gene reads AATC, we have seen it change to ATC or AATCAATC or ATTC, but never AATCC.) Evolutionary theory depends on addition mutations and while they may exist in theory, they have never been observed.
you can not talk about evolution without mutation, it is like talking about a car without its particular brand. Provide links to study please. |

Butterflyleo: Why do the simplest of things so easily slip past you atheists? 
Whatever triggers emotions or feelings etc are derived from your DNA and without your DNA coding you have nothing to derive morality from.
This is what is meant by it being hardwired into you and not that you had knowledge of the evils of murder in your DNA.
Without such responses to stimuli from your DNA you have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Please my comment to you now was a simple courtesy for sake of you getting something actually actually drilled into your brain which is a logical truth if you were to follow the trend of regress or the law of cause and effect. |

ScienceWatch: Well said my dearest BUDAATUM. I missed your subtle sense of humour when the going gets tough.
Your sarcasm is appreciated because your second point proves that you know that through spiritual connection one can QUICKLY know what others can spend years to know by secular learning.

ScienceWatch: Very interesting question BUDAATUM. Identical twins and their DNA. Why can there be the extremes that you emphasize 
I leave the shocking truth for you to answer because of your spiritual experience. You are going to stick your head in some hardwired stupidity dnaed into you and refuse to learn why identical gene sharing twins don't have the same morality dnaed into them?! I don't think so, somehow. |

ScienceWatch: The implications of conscience as expounded by BUTTERFLYLEO and MUTTLEYLAF as DNA hardwiring or conscience is that morality is in essence not taught. But in a secular setup it is taught as a Mental assent. "I know", says buda, in the most sarcastic tone imaginable. Some people, like you, muttley, butter, have it all programed in thru your dna so you don't have to learn and can continue in your ignorance. Would you believe that some people refuse to accept that somehow, out of some divine providence, they already know it all, so they go to school to learn, the cheeky buggers! ScienceWatch: Because you are a spiritual leader in your own right, the concept of conscience as a spiritual force is easier for you to understand than materialistic atheists. Oh listen to yourself. "buda", all of a sudden, "is not a proper atheist". Gods, and all deified entities, are deified in the minds of those who deify them and do not exist outside those minds. There are no gods except the ones created in the mind. Outside your mind, your god does not exist! I hope that's clear enough for you honey dear. Damn did my heart not pine for you when you was away! |

ScienceWatch: For instance the DNA markers of a man with a dead conscience a murderer, rapist, crook is different from a man with high morals. I wonder what it is then that makes one half of identical DNA sharing gene twins an esteemed medical doctor and the other a mass murderer? |

MuttleyLaff: The sense to know, what behaviour is right and what behaviour is wrong Conscience, whoever you are, is hardwired in all conscience ˈkɒnʃ(ə)ns/ noun a person's moral sense of right and wrong, viewed as acting as a guide to one's behaviour.So, a person (who by mere virtue is subjective) has a moral sense of right and wrong that is hardwired? |
Christianity Etc › Re: The Mental Disorder Called Atheism. Must Read For All Nairaland Christians by budaatum: 3:49pm On Jun 04, 2018 |
MuttleyLaff: Butterflyleo, in a matter or subject like this, you'll have your work cut out with bud
The conscience bears conscious witness, to sense & know, what behaviour is right and what behaviour is wrong
Example: Father regularly fingering his daughter or daughter regularly allowing father's little soldier to march upandan in the honeypot There must be something wrong with the father's conscience, if he doesnt know he is behaving badly fingering his daughter There must be something wrong with the daughter's conscience, if it is not pricked, for the daughter somewhat not know that her father is doing is wrong
This among other things, is what Butterflyleo is saying is encoded in our DNA What you saying muttley? That the morals of the father and daughter described above is wired into their DNA provided they are Christians, as butter is saying? |

shaybebaby: Tut! Tut! Budaa, how remiss of you! I would say watch the movies but then again, movies based in books never do them justice.
Still, one of the notable points about the books and their success is that it is enjoyed by both adults and children alike. Also the story of the writer herself made their existence all the more remarkable.
If it continues in this vein, I reckon it may well outstrip bible sales in about a century.  Yep, "Tut! Tut! Budaa" , indeed. They were published long after I lost patience for fiction really, a fact that saddens me immensely. And the movies felt like insults to the books, I being biased against a movie if a book were available. Hopefully, I'd get the time to listen to them on audio someday. |

Butterflyleo: You don't get it as well.
Anything alive is traced to DNA level. DNA responds to stimuli and everything in you exists due to your DNA coding.
Your brain functioning the way it is is due to the " wiring" of your DNA units which brought about your nerves etc in your brain.
Every action or reaction came PREWIRED.
Take it or leave it.
Without this prewiring nothing is taught or learned or understood.
I am done here. You are wrong butter. My brain does not function the way it is because my DNA prewired me to. I, buda, function the way I do because of the culture I imbibed and the learning I have done. |

Butterflyleo: I am speaking about as a christian and not as AN EVERY DAY INDIVIDUAL. As Christians we cease to be just INDIVIDUALS because we are in this world BUT NOT OF THIS WORLD.
This means that our moral codes are not derived from here but came preset.
Besides even evolutionary scientists also tell us that moral responses were first on a genetic level prior to anything else so if these responses were not preset, on a genetic level how then would we know right from wrong without the Involvement of our DNA? Well, the preset mode has not seemed to done many much good, is my view. And it seems God doesn't agree with it either, or why send the numerous prophets to teach what you claim is already set in your DNA? Nor am I aware that any "evolutionary scientists also tell us that moral responses were first on a genetic level prior to anything else", and can hardly believe they would since even you say, "they also admit that the origin of DNA is still a mystery to them". But I see you have called on your encyclopedia, vaxx to provide references. I await them. |

Butterflyleo: Thoughts of good or evil did not just arrive. They are already prewired into our DNA. Something we did not influence. That is not the perceived or generally accepted wisdom on the topic butter. It is widely understood that morals are learnt from ones society. You would also note the numerous teachers (Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, mothers, to name a few) who have come to teach morals to humans. They could hardly have been necessary if morals needed not be taught because they "are already prewired into your DNA". |

Butterflyleo: Your opinion.
What I am saying is that my morality has a truth value which has already been preset for me to follow and not one I created for myself.
For me, Morality is not determined by me but something/ someone who was here long before I was and this morality is futuristic and not ancient because the very moral fabrics of today and the future are sewn into it. So, you are saying that while morals are subjective, your morality is preset by "something/ someone who was here long before" you? |
