UTTER GARBAGE Pol.
How on hell can something abstract as the consciousness can come under the physicality side?
Did anybody ever explained to you about the difference between abstract and material-physical?

Quote:2. Evolution is a theory of biology. It is a scientific description of how species change over time.
Again science only study the physical aspect of evolution which means that what science know today is but a small part of total evolution.

Quote:3. Except for any genetic aspect of consciousness, there is no aspect of evolution that is affected by consciousness. Evolution is a matter of how genetics changes in populations over time.
Science reach that limit.
That does not means that there is a lot more to be learn.

Quote:4. Because of the improbability of reversals of certain types of genetic changes, evolution tends not to go in reverse. So, getting animals from plants or vice versa (which would require a complete restructuring of everything from the basic metabolism to basic structural aspects) is impossible (well, technically possible but at such a low probability it won't happen).
That is only true regarding matter, plants and animals but is totally wrong regarding humans.
Humans are not driven by the low of nature because they have the free will which allow them to go in every direction ( to gain or to lose so up or down in their evolution).
Animals are driven by instinct so they only can go up.

Quote:5. That your understanding is that evolution is driven by a desire to be free only shows how little you understand about evolution.
What are you doing right now mate?
Aren't you here in the forum to learn something?
And doesn't that learning help you in your quest for more knowledge?
And does not the quest for more knowledge make you free from ignorance?
Can you see that you contradict yourself at every move that you make?

The physical aspect is only the result of our progress or failing.
Quote:Your understanding is wholly incorrect. Whatever it is you're babbling about with avalanches and IRL cabbage patch kids and chains has nothing to do with evolution. If we're going to discuss that, instead..come up with a different name for it.
The "physical aspect", in point of fact, is the -only- aspect described by evolutionary theory. The rest is whatever religion you found at the bottom of your fruit loops.

True Kem but guess why?
You wouldn't know Kem so allow LR to explain that to you.
It is because (as I already said in different posts) physical science only study the physical aspect of the issue.
I guess you never thought about that Kem, did you?![]()
As far as what religions say they can say whatever they like.
Nothing to do with me.![]()
