Just because you're too stupid to understand what Evolution really is, or too ignorant to be knowledgeable of the advances in modern medicine doesn't mean you're right and he's wrong.

Maybe you should go back to drilling holes in people's skulls to release "Evil spirits".

ya, nothing useful has been discovered through medicine. it's just all placebo effect that the lifespan of humans is twice what it was a few years ago. or maybe knowledge from studies of food, anatomy, bacteriae et cetera is not just bs like your ideas about virus being the only thing that can evolve.

you that humans are essentially products of rna, and a virus = rna, so if viruses can evolve, then humans can evolve.

brilliant video

good work here

I see so many correlations between the universe and cytology, I look at the universe as one big "Cosmic-Cell" and everything within this Cosmic-Cell(stars, black holes, matter) are just "Cosmic-Organelles" responsible for the cell's function. I view this sudden acceleration of the universe as the Cosmic-Cell in the midst of division from its sister Cosmic-Cell(slow process). We are the stuff of stars, the stars are the stuff of the universe; are we so egotistical to think we are so different?

@tnguyen318 Gravity pull things down oooor does it attract? Blackholes are magnetic Blackholes are Suns (Black Suns). The law of correspondence cycles everything that endows us. cycles are circles where points meet even linear lines are circles. Gravity is just a nomenclature that people take literal then they use this social construct a devise it among other celestial innerconnected objects.

[tnguyen318]

To the naked human eye its fact, under microscope it's something else. It's better to say that it's fact until proven otherwise. Gravity doesn't pull things down. If Gravity pulls things down, how come Spaceships out in space doesn't fall down. I don't think knowledge requires understanding relationships between facts. But first we need to define what is knowledge. Information is the word.

What is proof? There is no absolute proof, there is only proof beyond reasonable doubt - how many times do you have to role a wheel down a hill before it becomes a proven fact that wheels roll down hills? Well once you have answered that question then you can ask what makes it so and for that you NEED theory to explain why - gravity is clearly a law of nature, but our understanding of how it works is called "the theory of gravity", we will never understand anything without theory!
