Quote:Something, which is blind, unconscious, that has no purpose and no mind, that does not plan and which has no vison, no foresight, and no sight at all is by no means has the capacity to produce anything that exhibits sequence, harmony, and order. Such thing is only capable of producing a chaos, disorder, confusion, and anarchy. The idea that unconscious, blind, unguided Natural Selection is capable of producing Sentient beings is ridiculous. Human behaviour is a clear contradiction to the meaning of Natural selection.
You're off in the realms of fantasy again talking about natural selection as if it was a blind god, some sort of entity that isn't as good as your god because your god does have vision and a purpose.
Natural selection is not a physical thing or entity, it's a scientific explanation. It's why their are flightless birds on isolated islands with no predators for example. There's often no point to it or purpose, the birds breed and become flightless because they have no natural predators to fly away from and flying uses a lot of energy, but then humans come to the island and kill them all.
If there was a conscious guiding entity guiding these things it would say to the birds "Hey don't stop flying, there's still predators out there!"
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
