Re: Some Notes on Evolution
Yes that is a common misunderstanding. The interaction with the environment eliminates chance or randomness; what improves fitness for survival passes down to future generations. I wouldn't really say that it eliminates chance and randomness, it just sort of refines it. You brought up this line of ...

Re: Some Notes on Evolution
I recall you stated early on that you don't believe in evolution because it doesn't make any sense. However the statements above indicate you misunderstand the process. Evolution is not based on randomness, chance, or accident. It is a two step process. Evolution is a process that results in change...

Re: Some Notes on Evolution
Hi Magus, your words here reveal much. In your view, evolution can't be true because you don't like the idea of a cold, uncaring universe. It just doesn't sit right with you. There's a bit of anthropic bias going on here. You’re certainly not alone in finding evolutionary theory to be counter-intui...

Re: Some Notes on Evolution
This knowledge should lead to predictions. To pick one example, the James Webb space telescope is scheduled to launch 3/30/21. It has ultra-sensitive infrared sensors that will detect objects that have moved beyond the range of visible light, red-shifted into infrared frequencies. The visible unive...

Re: Some Notes on Evolution
So you question evolution because you think it's based on shaky foundations, yet you think there's some universal sentience all around us feeding us streams of consciousness. And the entire universe is literally inside each of us. Don't get me wrong, I would love for that to be true. It would mean ...

Re: Some Notes on Evolution
-The incoming "data"... is it alterable, or is it fixed? It is alterable because it is coming from source consciousness, but source consciousness is not just sending out one data stream, it is sending out an infinite amount. Source consciousness is sentient and can alter it, but because w...

Re: Some Notes on Evolution
I forgot what it's like talking to a nihilist. I have no idea what your talking about. I am not a nihilist nor have I said anything to insinuate that I might be. I think you're not understanding my meaning at all, but interpreting what I'm saying to mean something more familiar to you. -Why don’t y...

Re: Some Notes on Evolution
It is the best method of producing knowledge in human history. No it's not, absolutely not. Science is merely the observation of the observable universe. The observable universe is nothing more than a creation of your mind. The true universe exists within you so the best method of producing knowled...

Re: Some Notes on Evolution
I’m all about educating the masses and correcting misunderstandings, but I think it should be done in the direction of a better understanding of the topic. Instead, your agenda isn’t to advance an understanding of the topic, but to use it as a wedge to push them away from science into esoteric beli...

Re: Some Notes on Evolution
There is plenty of supporting evidence that this assumption is on the right path. What makes you think there is none? From the standardization methods of cosmology to the converging conclusions of historical forensics here on Earth, we have evidence of uniformity over vast distances and long timeli...
