Was Jesus a God or a man?

1.They didn't, and you are wrong to say they did. Life is constantly evolving in little ways, generation by generation, over the timescales necessary for evolution to occur, which can often be fairly long. If you want to see it happening in action, just look at the growing number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria out there. They've evolved that way.

2.You gotten your flu shot yet? Know why you need a new one every year? Because the virus evolves.

3.Science is also the only method by which we can develop defenses to all of those things, just saying.

4.Who was being a jerk? Criticizing your argument isn't the same thing as being mean, and frankly I think I was pretty level headed there. If you were saying evolution couldn't be real because of what you supplied, then that would be the logical fallacy I pointed out. That's me trying to improve your argumentation by showing you where it might be weak; do you really feel that the only way people can be nice to you is by constantly agreeing with you?


5.You did provide a link, but you misinterpreted the information therein. What Price produced was a theory that explained altruistic behavior in terms of the survival advantage that it presents, that allowed it to become a trait in our population's genetics. He did not prove that altruism doesn't exist, but rather why it does exist: the conclusion some came to from that was that altruism is biologically generated and is truly just a naturally selected- ultimately mechanical- instinct driven by our need to propagate our species, and that because of this it isn't as valuable or morally right as it appears. My response is first and foremost that things don't need to be magical to carry value, and also that that interpretation of what altruism is doesn't jive with the definition of the word; natural selection is an unconscious pressure, not a state of mind. It may have shaped our capacity for altruism, but we still choose to make altruistic choices, no matter how our instinctive positive reaction to those choices came to be there.

1.Then give me an example of human evolution in the past 10,000 years. Looks to me like bacteria are smarter than humans.
Since you failed to do so...I digress

2.Yes I do know that, but thanks for making sure.

3.Science makes bombs that science must defend us from. Interesting sure enough.

4.Almost every body here unless you want to add mockery to Good Manners. There are hardly any direct questions and NO helpful criticism. Just a bunch of goofing off. No I don't but I put that right back to you. The person, you, that came up with #3, I do not need help from. Maybe I can help you. Yea how does that make you feel. I bet you're mad now. I apologize.

5.You left out the part about the atheist scientist, Price, becoming Christian because of his work. I'm pretty sure his mathematical equation was published. That's how he earned respect in the scientific community, no? If the math is never wrong then altruism does not exist. It's been a while since I read the , Price, story but certain things that makes ya hummmmm, you remember. I remember being very sad at the answer to Price's equation. He did commit suicide.

Let's don't drive ourselves mad over it. Peace.

I have to give Tonus props. That was stimulating. Thanks.
