What's so rational about evolution?

You believe that man came from monkeys. Then why is there still monkeys? Why are humans the only 'animal' with a moral conscience? How did that evolve? How does our universe work like clockwork if there is no creator? If the earth were tilted even a little bit off where it is now, it would be either too hot or too cold for life. You believe some random explosion of cosmic goop did that?

 

Sounds irrational to me!

Man didn't evolve from

Man didn't evolve from monkeys - apes and humans both evolved from a common apelike ancestor. Learn evolution the way it actually is, not from an apologist website. Moron.

Quote: You believe that man

Quote:
You believe that man came from monkeys. Then why is there still monkeys?

It's an oversimplification to say man came from monkeys, but I'll grant that we evolved from monkey or ape-like creatures.  There is no accepted model of speciation that requires the ancestral population to go extinct when a new population evolves from this.  This isn't just science, it's common sense.  Why on earth would you believe the ancestral population must go extinct?  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allopatric_speciation

 

Quote:
Why are humans the only 'animal' with a moral conscience?

Are they?  This is not rhetorical, I am seriously asking you.  Are they?  If you've ever owned a pet, it is crystal clear to any but the most severely deluded that animals are perfectly capable of bonding, showing empathy, compassion, social behavior and a sense of grief and mourning at the passing of others.  The fact that they cannot express in words or language we can understand does not preclude their having at least some of the rudimentary essential elements of morality, if not full-blown morality itself.

Quote:
How does our universe work like clockwork if there is no creator?

And what of the creator?  What made the creator so complex and powerful?  You do not accept the vacuity of stating that the universe is just the way it is because it's just the way it is, but you are perfectly satisfied to believe that the creator is just the way it is because it's just the way it is. 

Quote:
If the earth were tilted even a little bit off where it is now, it would be either too hot or too cold for life.

Qualification:  Life AS WE KNOW IT, would not be sustainable.  However, something else would arise in its place.  And if that something else had something resembling intelligence, it might be asking the same question and wondering about the same observational bias of being in a universe that fits its exact needs, while the more intelligent among these something elses point out the straightforward silliness of such reasoning.

I don't know what you mean

I don't know what you mean by the universe working "like clockwork" but the universe takes the form that it does because there's this force called gravity that affects all objects that have mass and it pulls things toward other things.

If the tilt of the earths axis were slightly different it would affect the seasons but the planet would still be inhabitable. It would just mean the winter and summer would be more or less intense depending on which way it tilted. If it was 90 degrees that would probably be a big problem

I figured the ancestral

I figured the ancestral population must go extinct according to Darwinism because it's "survival of the fittest". So if apes or some monkey like creature started to evolve because it needed it for survival, shouldn't the other monkeys have died off because they didn't adapt to changes?

 

For the moral conscience, I mean a sense of right and wrong. Of course animals can love and bond, but they don't know what's right or wrong. Strange example, but say two male dogs are trying to mate. (Whether you agree or disagree with homosexuality doesn't matter, it's just for the example). Would another dog come and tell them "Hey, that's wrong!" Animals don't seem to have a system of justice as do humans.

 

Nothing made the creator so complex and powerful, because no one or nothing created him- he has no beginning. He has been alive for ever, and will be alive forever.  

I'll give you the last one. I honestly don't know. Even I'm stumped sometimes.

I am not a biologist, but it's not inconceivable that a population could still survive after a another species evolved from it. It would have to do with the environment they live in.

I was very angry when they

I was very angry when they did not allow non-Christians on the site, and I refused to go until they changed it. That was stupid, and I apologize on their behalf. I wrote an angry email saying that churches don't put a sign on the door saying 'no sinners allowed', and I also told them that if sinners could not come, then I would not come either. I want a place where everybody can come, regardless of what they believe. They immediately changed the rule and 'infidels' (and I) are allowed back.

I don't mean to lump them all together, but every atheist I have ever talked to in my life has been very nasty to me. There probably are some nice atheists out there, but I have yet to spot this elusive creature.

When you talked to these other atheists in the past did you say things similar to what you said in your first post? If you did maybe you were mistaking frustration for nastiness. Because those are things you could know are wrong by reading one book.

You complain about atheists

You complain about atheists being nasty towards you, and you post things like this on your own public weblog:

 

Quote:
Homosexuality is repulsive,vile,demonic, and fatal. And it brings bad weather.[...] sodomites should not be let free to convert men from power tools to purses. With out beating around the bush, homosexuals deserve the death penalty. But don't think I'm unkind. I love gay people; I love murderers too. I just hate their sins,[my italics]

 

Quote:
Don't let some heathen tell you that men are slobs and need to shape up. That's the feminization of America.

 

Oh no why are all those atheist being so unfriendly...!?!?!?

I am attacking their SINS, not the people. Notice I said Homosexuality is vile, repulsive, etc., but not the people. I wouln't care if you said what I do is moronic, but he called ME a moron.

As for calling people heathen, I am not being unkind.

From Dictionary.com: 1.an unconverted individual of a people that do not acknowledge the God of the Bible; a person who is neither a Jew, Christian, nor Muslim; pagan.

It just means a non believer. Some define it as "uncivilized" or evil or use it as an insult, but that is not the way in which I was using it.

Something tells me that there's a little more to this story.

They are not innocent.

They are not innocent. Homosexuality is a capital crime. "kill christians everywhere" would certainly scare me, but I would not be offended if they attacked my sins. So, say I looked at porno. Someone comes up and says "Hey, your action of looking at porno is evil and disgusting!" Ok, fine. But if they say, "Your a disgusting and terrible person for looking at that stuff", that would be wrong.

Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

So both homosexuality and eating shrimp are abominations. I hope you just eat plain old fish.

Ok, but in my hypothetical worldview being a christian is a capital crime. So when I say "kill all christians and salt the earth where they live so nothing will ever grow there" I'm attacking your sin of being a christian. I'm not calling you disgusting I'm saying your actions are death worthy.

Murder is killing innocent people who are not convicted of a capital crime in court. Execution is doing justice to people who have been rightfully tried and convicted of a crime that deserves the death penalty.

That's an old Jewish law

That's an old Jewish law that they had to honor because Jesus had not yet taken their sins, so they had to keep the law to repent and place their faith in the coming messiah. Yes, I agree with the death penalty, as long as it doesn't deal with ceremonial Jewish laws. And before you ask, yes I believe I deserve the death penalty. We all deserve hell (death) for our sins.

since you feel you deserve the death penalty, why do you call out on homosexuals specifically for deserving the death penalty, if they merely deserve it as much as you do? why do you focus on this particular sin rather than your own sins?

Because I have been

Because I have been forgiven by Jesus for my sins. He takes the punishment for you. If a capital offender were to repent, then he doesn't get the death penalty any more. He still deserves it, but hes forgiven and sincerely sorry. 

I focused on this sin because we were talking about it. I don't particularly hate gays or anything. Do you want me to focus on my own sins? I'm a sinful person.

I have looked at pornography , I have used vulgar language and still do if I am very angry. I have disrespected my mom many times and disobeyed her. I have used the name of God in vain. I have had other gods besides the real god. I have looked at a woman with lust MANY times. I have lied, cheated, and stolen. I have been envious of other people. I don't always put God first in my life. I sometimes want to hurt other people. I cheat on tests.

I respect your explanation,

I respect your explanation, however I still think that fundamentalists in general have a tendency to focus on the particular "sin" of homosexuality rather than other sins delineated in the Bible.  For example, I think their picket signs and hate slogans would do a whole world of good protesting, say, sins like greed and domestic violence rather than homosexuality.  I don't understand the curious fixation on homosexuality, when there is plenty of issues which could be improved upon in the world.

I agree.

mythrys, I hope you realize that threats of punishment and making you feel guilty are techniques they use to keep you in Christianity. They're trying to make it hard on you emotionally to question them. Someone seems to have done a number on you. I'm sorry.

No, you guys have it

No, you guys have it wrong!

I don't WANT to die. But if I was a capital criminal and sat down to think about it, I would be like, "Yeah, I guess that's fair. I killed someone, I deserve the death penalty. That's the law". 

Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to Heaven!
