    Crea-volution: the concept of Creation adapting to Evolution.

    Hi there, So you have two concepts, Creation and Evolution. This is fine, as long as you don't try to remove one or the other in the name of its opposite. The mistake is to think that one being right, the other is wrong. How do we navigate this? My suggestion, is to create a concept that...

    The person with [great] dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts - Einstein. Discuss.

    Hi there, So there is a parallel of this truth in scripture, I'm not sure which would be said to be the more beautiful. Compare: The point being, that there are degrees of greatness, with anything. Just knowing the facts is not enough, neither is planting your feet firmly on the world. I have...

    He that has the blade, does not train to be obstreperous (selah)

    Hi there, So this is going to be step by step, ok? I want you to assess where you stand on the idea that there is a right way to wield a blade. The claim is this: he that has the blade, does not train to be obstreperous. In other words, the efficacy of the blade, is better trained to cut than...

    Nude Evolution: the right progression of selection pressures, will evolve "Evolution"?

    Hi there, So to contradict this thought experiment, you basically have to say "there is no selection pressure for selection pressure"? The thought experiment is basically simple: a sequence of selection pressures lead to Darwin discovering "Evolution" and the same concept could be used to lead...

    On the nail: why is being human easier for you, than being a monkey is hard for me?

    Yes, hello, The premise is really simple, if you believe you are evolved, all you have to do is assume that you are the top of the food chain; but if I believe I am from a monkey and don't want to believe in Evolution, understanding how I became a monkey is almost impossible? There is a clear...

    More on Radiometric Dating

    Gutsick Gibbon released another video on radiometric dating. It was pretty well detailed:

    So I keep evolving perfectly, and all the feminine are attracted to me? Why?

    Hi there, So I just thought, you know what "what we have been avoiding, is what it means to evolve perfectly, by repeatedly returning to Jesus"? In concrete terms, does it mean that the feminine will be attracted to me? In the expectation that I will be able to lead them, into greater...

    How do I "stimulate", my Evolution? I can be stimulated to embrace the theory, but what next?

    Hi there, So, yes, a basic basic concept for you: you have the theory, but how do you "stimulate" the Evolution that the theory makes you aware of? Scripturally speaking, we study the scriptures. Meditatively speaking, we practice meditation. Instinct grows, if it is practiced - it stands to...

    In Quest of the Historical Adam: A Biblical and Scientific Exploration

    Christianity Today recently published its book awards for the year 2022. These are books they believe are “most likely to shape evangelical life, thought, and culture” next year. The book that won the “Award of Merit” under the category “Apologetics & Evangelism” was In Quest of the Historical...

    God does not evolve, His power does (selah) - predictable change is possible

    Hi there, So this won't help Evolutionists much, at least not at first, because it talks about a limitation on what can change - because of the parameters of the possible changes (that are limited). The point how ever Evolutionists will probably grasp more intensely than Creationists, at first...

    Even if there are adaptations & throwbacks & adaptations & throwbacks, nothing "new" evolves?

    Hi there, So I am pretty sure I would get burned, by Evolutionists, if I brought this up: but I really want to know an answer! If there are adaptations, in a given species and those adaptations don't turn out to be critical, but instead become throwbacks to past generations of the same species...

    Nature need not be theorized, injuries do; Evolution is not solely predatorial

    Hi there, So this is an important qualification, that stems from the Lord's word that "those that are well, do not need a physician, but those who are sick" (gospels, from memory). Basically, the logic is this, nature does not need to be theorized, injuries do. You can't do anything about your...

    So a part of an animal, adapts and devolves, repeatedly, one generation to the next...

    Hi there, So the thought experiment here is just to examine whether I understand the concept "adaptation" properly or not: say part of an animal adapts and devolves, under selection pressure, then not - one set of generations on, one set of generations off. The epigenome will make no attempt to...

    This is the kicker, you are assuming all mutations confer adaptation to the current Evolution?

    Hi there, So yes, I worked out that Evolution isn't happening again and again and that it can't be found everywhere, I worked out that mutation is biased to assume creation, and that warning from wayward mutations is being ignored: now I have a complaint that mutations may be delaying...

    Three things Evolutionists need: perceptiveness, calm & idealism.

    Hi there, So I have sought council as to how to strengthen a person, when they want to maintain the greatest strength they can have, as an Evolutionist: Perceptiveness, means knowing when one mutation is clashing with another, for which it would be better to do without both, that is, starting...

    If mutation consistently warns you, that you're *not* going to get an adaptation: you need to change

    Hi there, So just putting aside the presupposition that mutation "precedes" adaptation, you have to at least accept that mutation might lead to something negative - something not adaptation. You could get cancer, or lameness or any of the myriad other things that go wrong in the human body. The...

    Ok. So blunt honesty here, I think Evolution made the Words of Jesus even more true?

    Hi there, So this will be unremarkable to you, as an Evolutionist, but I find even the words of an Evolutionist mean more to me - a Creationist - because of the Words of Jesus. "What?" you say "How could a theory I hold, have had an affect on words you keep, with ink and paper?" but hear me...

    Just wanted to get your permission, on something: can I question what Evolution does for Creation?

    Hi there, So yes, my thinking has come to something of a head: I want to ask Evolutionists what Evolution does for Creation? It's sort of a reverse logic, to "what does Creation do for Evolution?" and I just wanted to get your permission, before I provoke what could be a hostile response to...

    The funniest question: "how soon do you think it will be before monkeys become humans, *again*?"

    Hi there, So this is hilarious right: The only way to say this is rubbish, is to say "the selection pressures aren't there any more", but the problem is, we never knew what the selection pressures were to begin with. I mean there is no experimental evidence that something that happened once...

    What fulfils the function of "preservation" - within Evolutionary theory?

    Hi there, So the assumption is typically that "anything better than mutation, is worth preserving", but I have not yet seen the evidence that preservation has natural causes (something demanded by "science", no?). Moreover, it has not been demonstrated that "preservation" has a particular...
