    God is obliged, to help you evolve? On Earth, "no"; in Heaven, "yes" - Discuss.

    Hi there, So further to my discussion of the relevance of a host, to Evolution, I have started to wonder about God, specifically God helping creatures "evolve". Is God obliged to help creatures "evolve"? This question comes down to where it is that God offers the help. Jesus tells us "I do not...

    A population of variations of the Greatest Evolution, varies the greatest it can "evolve"?

    Hi there, So, new concept: if there is Evolution that is good, there is Evolution that is best. Conclusion: if the best is varied, the best will be prolonged. Interpretation: there is better that can be evolved, until keeping what has already been evolved becomes more important. The point being...

    Maybe this will clarify: can I encourage my offspring's instinct for Evolution?

    Hi there, So this is simple one way but complicated another: my offspring's instinct for Evolution, ultimately consists of the conversion of my experience of it (for them). There are a number of stages at which I can guide my offspring, as regards what they believe about Evolution. First of...

    Logic: if apes connected to humans, humans can "reconnect" to humans - what is the good of that?

    Hi there, So yes, a simple element of logic here: if apes connected to humans (genealogically), could humans not "reconnect" to other humans? I have said before that "the Evolution of a specific survival, is different from the optimum survival for that Evolution" this is merely an extension of...

    Variation of nuance (of Evolution?), ensures more survive. Discuss.

    Hi there, So this is straight up probability: a diversified nest egg, is less likely to suffer a loss. The same is true of Evolution: a variation of the nuance adapted, ensures the young will more likely live on. I'm wondering if you can see the connection. It's basically introducing the...

    There is no sign, that Evolution has been defeated - therefore its efficacy is greatly diminshed

    Hi there! So yes, I thought I would come to you first, with this (believers) - because it leaves something out, something to be desired. I am not sure what it was that was inspiring about this notion of "beating Evolution"; I have never really desired to 'defeat' almost anyone, certainly not...

    "Love without Grace, would lack expression" - Citizen of the Kingdom

    Hi there! So my brother in Christ (Citizen of the Kingdom) gave me this quote and it spoke directly to me, about what it is that is so confusing about Evolution: viz, how can you love the theory of Evolution, without some sort of work, that is peculiar to Evolution? Why do I ask this: because...

    The beginning, was a love story (selah)

    Hi there, So yes, it is typically not read as such, but the story of Adam and Eve in the garden was a love story - Adam and Eve were in love with each other! To them, God was a joy, to be pursued and beheld. Any attempt to describe the beginning in terms of science, falls short of the one...

    Parents pass on a partial "evolution" to their young, their young must complete it (selah)

    Hi there, So I set out a long discussion of the implications of the young (only being partial expressions of the adult) and something crashed. I basically made three points: One: the young complete being partially formed, with instinct - because of irreducible complexity and the strong...

    The truth is, God was invited to create - who invited you to evolve?

    Hi there, So yes, simple fact: What can we learn from this? Can we not make a simple parallel with Evolution? Who invited us to evolve? If we are invited, we can understand the way in which we are invited, can we not? Also what is expected? Also how long it takes? If I am being invited to...

    Help me understand this: "individuals, can't respond to population relative selection pressures"

    Hi there, So I just keep coming back to this obstacle of my understanding of Evolution: No matter how hard I try, I don't get it. Are you saying individuals need individual selection pressures (and collections of individuals need collections of 'like' selection pressures?)? Maybe I've run...

    Honest question: do parasites evolve, if their hosts do?

    Hi there, So this is all about niche, as far as I understand it: a host of a parasite represents a 'niche' that the parasite can adapt for - the question is, if the host evolves, does the parasite therefore have to evolve? Or have the opportunity to evolve? Clearly there are different...

    The 'fuel of evolution' is more abundant than previously thought in wild animals

    Darwinian evolution is the process by which natural selection promotes genetic changes in traits that favor survival and reproduction of individuals. How fast evolution happens depends crucially on the abundance of its "fuel": how much genetic difference there is in the ability to survive and...

    Curiosity: did you discover anything else, when you discovered "Evolution"? Or just that?

    Hi there, So I don't know what to make of this, in any immediate sense: did you discover anything else, when you discovered "Evolution"? Or just "Evolution"? I mean there is no sense, in saying "I discovered Evolution, just because", right? There must have been something about it, that appealed...

    The more you change species, the harder it is to be optimistic about the species you are - Discuss?

    Hi there, So it really comes down to one gripe, with Evolution: that macro-Evolution does not have consequences. Setting aside that we do not see it, in nature, for a moment, let us consider agreeing with the spirit of what is being said - to see if we can learn from it. Now, there is...

    "The Evolution of a specific survival, is different from the optimal survival for that Evolution"

    Hi there, So I just want to make a simple point: The point I am trying to make, is that evolving a specific survival ensures something will be passed on, but that passing on "more" will ensure the given survival will survive for longer. This means that "agency" continues to be important...

    A powerful member of a species, is repeatedly told "you have failed to evolve" and does not know how

    Hi there, So this is just setting up the progression, in the opposite direction: a powerful member of a species is repeatedly told "you have failed to evolve" and the member does not know how - what happens as soon as that member mates and has offspring? Surely it depends on how that member...
