Where Is Human Evolution Heading?

Comment in News (1 digg, 1 reply) - 21 hr 2 min ago
"... that may help us survive a turbulent future." None of us survives in the context of evolution. Every single individual organism is Deselected. Just vague language accepted by the force of human rationalization, feeling that of course humans have c … (see comment)

@ApokalypseNow: "Further, IC itself would not disprove evolution - irreducible complexity could evolve." And, again, we're back to the equivocation of "evolution" to mean a sense that is untestable, and unscientific. Nobody in ID denies that evolutiona … (see comment)

@wolferz: Okay, I think your last paragraph gets to the crux of the matter--the rights exist because the person is human--okay, why? Can you point to the physical causality of how the "rights" gets created, if we're excluding metaphysical entities? If … (see comment)

@Naillgriff: Okay, where do they come from, then? Thanks for directly admitting your intellectual dishonesty by using a term that isn't my position, as if it were my position--counting on your description being taken as both the same and not the same con … (see comment)

Apparently, reviewing the Declaration of Independence, I'm not the first to think of it. But yeah, a basic requirement of a functional philosophy is to have a means to connect your metaphysical position to your ethical position. Why are you proposing we … (see comment)

@ApokalypseNow: You actually think that inferring design from IC would be a non-sequitur? I don't know how to address your assertion that two things are unrelated as premise and conclusion with the clear obvious fact they are related. If Entity X wasn' … (see comment)

Inappropriate, and impinging on Meyers' free will. He doesn't want to get Naturally Deselected now, he wants to get Naturally Deselected later. Sure, he'd have no basis to assert such a thing as "rights" actually exists from his worldview, but still, le … (see comment)

@WakkyWeed: "So, from what you are saying all that the scientists have to do to disprove Irreducible Complexity is prove that there is nothing irreducibly complex in the genome of every organism on the planet?" Why, scientifically, would you presume your … (see comment)

@ApokalypseNow: "You've got things mixed up - in order for the idea of Irreducibly Complexity to have any validity, such a structure has to be found, and it must be demonstrated that there is no way that the constituent parts of such a structure could ha … (see comment)

"Irriducible complexity assumes that new biological features can only result from continuous additive processes." No it doesn't, in the least. That'd be the false dichtomy you need to be the case, but nobody in ID actually says this, just that you need … (see comment)

Sure, reproduce them, since they were "thoroughly debunked" in no respect. Alternate possible scenarios for the proposed IC structures were presented. "Alternate possible scenario" does not equate with "thoroughly debunked". I think we need clarity aro … (see comment)
