Response to Shun evolution by M. Cassidy Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Well his parents both were monkeys Who had crawled out of the mud He was simply made of matter Protoplasmic crud Formed by subatomic bumping In a random sort of way With no goal and no direction Simple animated clay Made complete by evolution He finally learned to walk Although nothing needed saying He somehow learned to talk And he built a vast dominion In which each thing had its use Saying all this leads to nothing Life's a complicated ruse The he gave himself a title Made himself a Ph.D. Gave himself the job of teaching This insane philosophy Though he claims we're going nowhere We are told that we should hurry And though we're only chemicals The chemicals still worry But now science has the answers To the problems of our race They've made billion dollar rockets To bring rocks from outer space Yes their ancestors were cavemen And they've shown it through the ages By their inability To listen to the sages Now the answer to this riddle Should they ever care to hear it Is that matter cannot move Until it's touched by spirit But it's hard to teach a monkey The things he cannot feel And it's hard to show a caveman What's beyond his cave is real But the hardest thing of all Is showing the absurdity Of claiming life's an accident To men with no humility
Evolution does not claim life is an accident. Now the answer to this riddle Should they ever care to hear it Is that matter cannot move Until it's touched by spirit Jesus said, "If the flesh came into being because of spirit, it is a wonder. But if spirit came into being because of the body, it is a wonder of wonders. Indeed, I am amazed at how this great wealth has made its home in this poverty."
given that abiogenesis forms the complete understanding of the origins of evolution, its hard to see where you are coming from and? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
It doesn't claim life to be accident. Rather, it's an inevitability based on simple numbers. The timing was chance, but the occurrence of life at some point is more or less inevitable. Anyway...what he means about the spirit coming from body is in many ways true. The human "soul" is the body's bioelectric energy, generated by the chemical reactions of the body. The soul did not come first, it was a result of chemical reactions.
its not clear how you are offering anything alternative to "life is an accident" life (and its absence, namely death) involves more issues than mere bioelectricity - at the very least there is no empirical evidence for your wild claims (outside of science fiction)
I don't like it when people call like an "accident". It's like saying life wasn't supposed to happen. If life WERE an "accident", it would give no credence to religion, just how the "non-accidental" life of today gives none.
LG, Or - But the hardest thing of all Is showing the absurdity Of claiming mankind is special To men with arrogant pride
If you knew how embarrassing such a statement is, you would never have uttered it. I almost feel sorry for you.
It wasn't an accident, it was almost inevitable given initial conditions. Evolution itself is definately not random, but it uses chaos as an engine for change.
Are we still amusing ourselves with LG's rhetorical rants? Glad I've not missed much, the same old shit here! Or I'm aloud to say that with out having a damn warning of violating someone's feelings? Ya Super I laugh with ya!
you don't consider yourself possessed of any special qualities distinct from an elephant or an amoeba? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
still assuming that empiricism has the monopoly on evidence I see .... or alternatively, if life was created by god, how would that give any credence to claims that life is an accident? :scratchin:
Perhaps. Could you offer your perception of abiogenesis and explain why you think it an embarrassment?
LG, All you are saying here is that life is caused by natural processes or magic happens. Don't think anyone has yet ever shown that magic has ever happened. And consequently you have zero credibility for suggesting it.
