How do you cope when you read such admissions?

I feel a bit like a child molester to be honest. It's not a happy place to be in.

Cheers, Doc

It shows how ignorant you are. Evolution doesn't mean monkey to men. Its a common misconception. Evolution suggests that at some point all mammals had a common ancestor and the primates share more with other primates than non-primates.

Can you answer me some questions?
1. Why humans in terms of behaviour and biology are closer to other mammals than non-mammals?
2. Why they are closer to other chordates compared to non-chordates like Arthopods?
3. Why you have a tailbone but no tail?


When scientists discuss about evolution today the no longer debate whether it is true or not. Rather debate about various aspects of it like did it evolve this way or that way.

Thank you!!! I was waiting all along for someone to say this!!

I have always argued that the forum should compel members to reveal their ages. It is disquieting to have an involved argument with an apparently obstinate member of decidedly extreme views, and then to discover that one has been wrangling with a self-important school-child. Most disconcerting.

Exactly so.

There was a ladida Pakistani waxing eloquent once.

Battle strategy. Philosophy. Politics. Most self assured and man of the world.

Then he says he's 17.

I lost my appetite. Physically.

Oh, it comes from all quarters of the globe, Doc, nothing specifically Pakistani about this. You think there is a shortage of mouthy young Indians on this, and other fora? Or brash Chinese under a wide number of flags, marshaled for 'the cause' with great imagination?

Of course.

It was just anecdotal recall. Nothing to do with the great fondness I have for our brothers next door.

not my ignorance, maybe you should read first page of this thread.

Hi,

Just a simple question---if evolution occured---then why has it stopped---or we are looking at a completed phase all around us and after a certain time---another phase would start.

Make sense , Jesus did not evolve from Jews he was a human embrayo

Sir, what makes you believe that it has stopped? Or do you believe that it is to be detected in the small time intervals that we are able to measure in our fleeting life-spans?

Regarding phases, I know that you are well-read, but it is not wrong to point out that evolution is essentially incremental - minutely incremental, with a major lurch from time to time. We cannot determine until long afterwards whether we had witnessed an aberrant occurrence, a minute series of changes representing a cumulative alteration of significance, or (least likely, since most noticeable) a 'major lurch'.

My thruppence.
