What they are calling speciation could just as easily be adaption.OFC it has and you've been provided the information. That you refuse to accept speciation in spite of speciation having been observed is a you problem, not an evidence problem.
Quote:Everena: I refuse to accept that this is an unfair, unjust universe, that is true. People with their own free will have chosen to intentionally hurt others knowing it was wrong. History is loaded with horrible behavior of humans. I determined my beliefs by considering that the concept of karma exists in every religion, and by observing my environment.You've asserted that this world is a soul mill, EV. You don't refuse to believe it, you know that it;s true and have invented another world to make it better. As though handing you a candy bar will cover for having cut off your arm.
All around us people are doing kind and wonderful things. All around us people are joyous and celebrating. All around us people are doing horrifying, terrible things. All around us people are suffering and in pain.

I suppose it would take more self awareness than you possess to answer my question.
Quote:Also, the Catholic priests and nuns and monks take a vow of celibacy after claiming to hear a "calling" And they preach against masturbation etc.-then, again, you see that it -is- an unfair and unjust universe. Your theology depends on it. You've asserted a soul making theodicy in order to answer that observation.
And we spay and neuter pets and put animals in cages. Just sayin'- And most importantly, it's the only thing that would make this a fair and just universe.
