The Evolution of Morality (2-5)

I was supposed to land in Ft. Lauderdale a full day before I did, and I expected to use that time locked in my hotel room rehearsing and revising my presentation. But record snow falls in Dallas and Atlanta caused my flights to be cancelled, rescheduled, and rerouted through other airlines, all amidst the threat that both airports might have to close. Consequently, I spent all my prep time flitting between gates and calling sponsors trying to secure another flight. I ended up getting in absurdly late, and missing sleep. Then I went before a hundred scientists trying to freely recite a 6,000 word speech that I refused to just stand there and read, although there were a couple moments that I wish I had done that. :-P

hehe... you say creationists believe in magic yet you believe dead matter created the universe... I'll stick with a God, thanks anyways...

[AronRa]

@jacquesnaude7 I don't know anyone who believes 'dead matter' created the universe. I certainly don't. You must enjoy strawmen. You also believe that it took four whole days to partially construct this one tiny planet by itself, but that trillions of galaxies were sneezed into being instantaly, after that. There is no way to parody a perspective which is that insanely absurd.

~AronRA, @3.00~3. 30m/sec's, you look & sound like a preacher-Sanhedrin. He who designed the elephant, is the same that you contend against. Could you honestly concede that you could "never" go preaching Jesus. Should man take credit for teaching a elephant to paint? Will the elephant, begin building a space-station in a few billion years? All is vanity. There is Creator & created. Broaden your horizon-try tuning into your Chief-Manufacturer science is great but also can be a smoke screen.

[AronRa]

Anyone who believes in truth should know better than to assert as fact that which is really only unsupported and indefensible speculation. Broaden your horizon by realizing that there evidently is no creator, and that mere magic has historically always turned out to be the wrong answer.

[666Edgar666]

@AronRa But could it be possible that the Creator is actually just the universe and the laws of the universe? As opposed to the humanized god of the bible who kills millions and then tells his creations not to do so. I think the truth is that there is no way to prove the existence or non existence of such a thing. (I agree with evolution btw)

If you merely told me that you saw an elephant painting a picture of an elephant, I would have laughed in your face. That is hands-down the damnedest thing I've ever seen.

[Blodslav]

@jacquesnaude7 Dead matter? What's that? Created what? You're out of your mind.

[FrankLightheart]

The elephant painting a picture of itself holding a flower: that just blows my mind.

Moronic bot alert.

[Mogley52]

NATURAL LIMITS TO EVOLUTION: Evolution within "kinds" is genetically possible in nature (i.e. varieties of dogs, cats, etc.), but not evolution across "kinds" (i.e. from worm to human). Species couldn't have survived if their vital tissues, organs, biological systems were still evolving. I discuss Punctuated Equilibrium, "Junk DNA." Read Pravda Internet article: WAR AMONG EVOLUTIONISTS! I discuss: genetics, mutations, natural selection, fossils, genetic/biological similarities between species.

Those elephants can paint better than I.
