Barring severe interruption of environmental constants.Sensory junkie thinks sensory is the bar, no surprise. I see we've already added a caveat....seems to be a massive one, given the frequency with which environmental constraints present "severe interruption". Sensory this and thats are the direction, so long as nothing bad happens to them? Everything is the direction, so long as nothing bad happens to it. This is a rule or path that leads nowhere in specific, and everywhere in general..which is flatly self defeating to any claim of a specific direction. It's also, again... demonstrably, untrue. Evolution does not have a direction, and no trait is exclusively advantageous.
The only reason you can be fooled, for example..is your "complexity". An epidemic of credulity could off you, which I doubt would effect an ameoba.
Quote:The two are unrelated, I said so before starting this.What, then, informs you of the specific direction of evolutionary development, and that this specific direction is the "complexity" which you have defined?
But if you want something related, I suppose the absence of spike holes in most people lives could be evidence that God does not constantly prune us, and is largely absent from interfering with the trees growth beside environmental factors. If life is like a season of growth and fruiting, death is like the season of harvest and pruning.
Weirdly enough I have found a dead God in the crown of the world tree....several of them infact....long dead.
Also not related to the absence of spike holes, just my lateral thinking mind going side-ways.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
