My Critique of Evolutionary Theory

I'm not a Creationist... So please don't call me that!

But yes, I do think evolutionary theory is currently missing something... it's missing purpose!!!

Gravitational theory is missing purpose, too. So what?

[hofisito]

but I know I know... trying to believe in a metaphysical system that involves reason and intellegence makes absolutely NO sense in a world where its physics so... rational???

[hofisito]

@enHanzable lol I'm not the one that's trying to claim metaphysical knowledge using science... ahem ahem...

[enHanzable]

intellectuals know that they know some things (math is one of them, and reality is math), but their true power is to avoid what they don't and can never know. such as your idea of a mysterious, intelligent force behind evolution and the movement of electrons. so they use occams razor, and cut that stupid bullshit out of the picture, because unchecked, stupid bullshit always and without exception overtakes and destroys progress, because it looks for and finds (like you did) its own evidence.

[hofisito]

@enHanzable The problem with the world is that intellectuals are uncertain while those who are ignorant are damn sure...

[enHanzable]

a great step forward for you would be to accept the concept of infinity and reality being an eternal fluctuation of energy in an infinite # of universes, the coming and going of complexity, and how+why it never stays permanent, and how there has been an infinite number of you in the past and will be an infinite number of you in the future. "what moves an electron" is the same question as "why eternity", and is answered by "why not". nothing is as absurd as everything. deal with it. lol.

[enHanzable]

complexity does go in reverse sometimes. if you cared to look it up, you'd know about it. but usually, it doesn't. because the premises for survival almost always reward ever higher complexity. this kind of approach of yours, to prove a point by cherry-picking facts, is common for 25 year olds who know their curriculum, and think that's the world's knowledge right there. but you do a lot worse than that, you got your standard religious agenda, and think science = adapting facts to immature ideas

[enHanzable]

you may impress your mom or your grandparents with words like "science" and "philosophy" and "A's", but people who's not in the larvae stage of mental development, consider people to be retarded if they complain about the lack of purpose in evolution, as if the theory of evolution needs to be reconsidered or expanded upon for that reason. it's not just stupid, it reveals your entire thought process: walking up and down a blind alley of immaturity and deluded admiration for your own originality.

@enHanzable So getting A's in my science major and philosophy minor and Dean's list currently in grad school... that's doesn't qualify at all???

[hofisito]

@d3vall I guess... but the more I study science and philosophy, the stronger my faith becomes I would say. I guess it depends on the person.

@hofisito I don't mean to be facetious, I regret saying that as I may be startling the process. =P Seriously though, you come off very honest- the best thing you can do is email professors about this sort of thing, they're always willing.

Otherwise, you have this "purpose" hang up about the whole thing- so I believe your real objection to evolution lies indirectly with philosophy. The more you study science and philosophy, the more you climb out of the religious rabbit hole unknowingly.
