I've decided to give back a little. I'll answer questions on evolution for those who have any.

I'm a hardcore Darwinist, but :

1) How did homosexuality evolve?
2) If time doesn't exist, which it doesn't, then how does evolution, something that requires time, exist?

How can you say time doesn't exist? Shouldn't the fact that we mature physically show that time exists? :dahell:

Nothing can't create something. Something had to always have been here. If something had to always have been here, then there is no beginning. If there is no beginning, there is no time, as time requires a beginning

Time is only an illusion we "see" because we can only sense in 3 dimensions

Being a homosexual, do you think you're more evolved than us straight folk? :ld:

And also, do you think your boyfriend will ever be able to impregnate you through your rectum? :lupe:


:mjlol:


On topic, how can anyone with common sense believe Humans evolved from some monkeys :aicmon:

There's a difference between knowledgeable and intelligent. This guy is what we'd call book smart but in actuality he's dumb as fukk. He can regurgitate but I question his critical thinking skills.

I dapped this up not b/c I think it fits the op (tbh I don't pa attention to many of dude's posts) but b/c it's true. Many ppl think because they can read a book and recite a few facts, that's what makes them "smart"

3) I'm going to test you on this one: Why does altruism exist, given the fact that a gene's only purpose is to be selfish and reproduce (I know the answer, but let's see if you do. That will prove to me that you know what you're talking about)

I'll try and tackle the 3rd. In a sense wouldn't altruism have some inherent selfishness to it. There's always some sort of personal gratification in everything you do. The reason I answered this question is because I made a thread about a week or two ago asking is it bad to do good because you expect good in return? I made that in reaction to me donating to acquaintance's fundraiser, in which I immediately donated what I could and right after felt that because I did that good favor would be return to me.

Yup, altruism is selfish. It builds up a social capita type situation in which you can call upon in your community. :cheers:

trolling aside, i like to think of it as god is the name and concept our puny names gave the energy that got life started. we came up with a story that we would understand and ran with it, but thousands of years later we got too smart for that story and found better answers, but we still dont know shyt. nobody knows how it all started. i do believe in evolution but i dont believe anybody knows how that first organism got here. its all theories.

that questioning darwin documentary ended with a quote i love and think is perfect.

This "energy" you're talking about can be understood with a biochemistry class and a little organic chemistry

its all essentially gas exchange and energetic confirmation of molecules.

I'm a hardcore Darwinist, but :

1) How did homosexuality evolve?

"homosexuality" in the modern sense is a new thing in the eyes of the law.

we never really know how many gays there are or ever were because many societies didn't allow it...which doesn't mean people weren't doing it on the low.

IN ADDITION TO THE FACT that male/male or female/female kin selection happens all the time in other species.

humans, or social ones, tend to be very rigid in the effort to maintain apperance :mjpls:

Even if "homosexuality" is completely a choice, and evidence says its not, it doesn't matter and shouldn't in terms of how societies are organized, in my view.



2) If time doesn't exist, which it doesn't, then how does evolution, something that requires time, exist?
:what:

because minimal changes happen over time.

mutations mount up and selective pressures collectively prefer one type of trait over another.

its going to be harder to observe in humans (granted we really on accepted this barely 150 years ago) since we do so much to maintain the genetic variation of every human...for "ethical" purposes :mjpls:

3) I'm going to test you on this one: Why does altruism exist, given the fact that a gene's only purpose is to be selfish and reproduce (I know the answer, but let's see if you do. That will prove to me that you know what you're talking about)

social species exhibit altruism to benefit the welfare of the group

you use the word "purpose" as if that is innate.

Evolution isn't teleological. It doesn't proceed towards a goal.

Its a process of survival towards specific niches. There is no "top" in evolution, only adaptation.

I'm going to challenge you on that.

You actually don't KNOW that to be true.

Intuitively, you can't prove that.

1) You didn't answer my question. Homosexuality, which also exists in animals, runs contrary to the fundamental component of evolution....reproduction
2) You didn't answer my question. If time doesn't ultimately exist, then how do things that require change, like evolution, exist? (clever dodging off that by the way :cheers:)
3) You are using semantics when they are not necessary at all. The gene's only purpose is to reproduce. That has nothing to do with reaching an ultimate goal. It simply means that a gene's only purpose is to reproduce. Read the "Selfish Gene" breh
