You can write a small test program to find out, maybe starting with a finite set.
The answer is obvious now. How high can I jump to attempt touching the moon?

The answer is yes. It was observed to be so and was described in Genesis 1 and in most creation myths, and it is observant in actuality as evolution.
And that is because there is an INTELLIGENCE behind it to make it happen.

shadeyinka:

Evolution is a late description where life has already been formed only that it increased in complexity through survival of the fittest.

The situation of evolution is like having instead of basic characters, you are given whole words and phrases to juggle about.

Evolution is nothing like you seem to understand it to be.

Consider the following.

What is this "INTELLIGENCE" you refer to?

Well maybe because you don't really know what evolution is.

LoL, indeed my dear buda. And welcome back, how was Nirvana? wink

You would have noted all the above by the first responses your thread received.





And to be honest, I still do not get your point.

Their folly is actually apparent to them. But when a person's Intellect has been chained by satan: even with eyes, they wouldn't see!

Indeed. That is actually why I lost interest in these debates.

Evolution is nothing like you seem to understand it to be.

Consider the following.
My problem with this evolution of the solar system (even though I was describing evolution of living things) is that somehow, ENTROPY just seem to be reducing immediately after the big bang/inflation of the universe. This break every known physical law for entropy is ALWAYS increasing. Entropy can only decrease if an EXTERNAL constraining force compels entropy of the system to reduce.

In the beginning, there exist no single atom. After the big bang/inflation, neutrons, protons and electrons just found a way to order themselves as single units.

Its just like sand, gravel, lime, water are scattered over the earth with a high entropy. Some people (Dangote and the Bricklayer) brought these things together to make cement to build a house of lower entropy. Sand, gravel, lime and water ordinarily cannot build a house EXCEPT there exist an EXTERNAL force to the system.

Comprehende?

My point is that as long as there is a mechanism by which outcomes result, the notion that there is no intelligent, personal creator is demonstrably false.

There are treatments of the facts of evolution for all levels of understanding even kindergarten so if you really want to have a proper understanding seek those out. Commenting on strawman arguments won't get you closer to understanding.

I think you mistake me. I think that I'm reasonably educated in the subject. Therefore, the ignorance that you ascribe to me is undefined to me. That is, I don't know what you think that I don't know. So, I can't really agree or disagree with you.

Still, never mind. I really don't care all that much for these discussions anymore.

Ah ok so you understand it enough to strawman it, got it.

"Survival of the fittest" is only 1 mechanism of evolution and not the whole story. Just thought you should be aware.

If you accuse me of committing a fallacy, you are also responsible to demonstrate how I did. But feel free not to do so. I really couldn't care less.

Yes I quoted Genesis, or rather, what some smart individual(s) wrote in the Book of Genesis. It describes a chaos out of which order arose, and is a indication of evolution.

I won't since you claimed you know enough about evolution so I am sure you know how you strawmaned it.

I have the feeling that you think randomly peppering with big words gives meaning to what you write even though it does not. Take Entropy. You claim it seems to be reducing but I bet you can not provide evidence for its reduction.

I am afraid non-comprehende. But I expect you'd blame me instead of the meaninglessness of your random use of words.

I know, thats why I said increase in complexity ...

It's like starting with several small books which could be compiled to produce an entirely different bigger book.
