It's not that I don't understand it. RocketSurgeon said that we could see the lesser developed brains (he gave the example of shark) developing into more evolved brains (he gave the example of cat). If you don't like that idea, take it up with him.
But that's IATIA's point; you don't understand it! If you understood evolution at all, you would never have made the claim that a species must die out for a new lineage/species to emerge. Ever.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
