Enjoy!

Note: Apparently Amazon linked the wrong book to the Charles Darwin book. The cover is correct, you are "buying" Charles Darwin but they have linked the wrong book. I have alerted Amazon who should hopefully correct the mistake. Thanks to barryquinn for the alert!

      That is the power of religion.
      Sometime around the 80's or 90's there was a shift from church being the main religion to the gaia/earth mother/climate gods. Where once it was de facto to believe in God or be labelled a heretic, now you must believe in the earth mother mythos or risk being burned at the stake.

So while you have the dictionary out, read your definition again, and then tell me how you aren't likening modern persecution to historical executions. This then also begs the question which burnings at the stake are you referring to? Is it ones perpetrated in the name of religion as the "more things stay the same" comment seems to suggest? Is it just horrible writing? Since you got so excited about pointing out what a figure of speech is, my money is on the latter. Haha

        Can you not differentiate between religion, where people are encouraged (and/or forced) to believe blindly in a story made up by someone (who may call themselves God or messiah or prophet) and science, where you need solid evidence to support whatever you are saying?

        • DarthPyro on 09/07/2021 - 11:38

          there is no solid evidence for any macroevolution
          And the fossils backup Creation, not disprove it ;)

            +3

            @DarthPyro: The evidence for evolution is robust and can be easily verified.
            Fossils are evidence that organisms existed in the past and that they evolved over time. It has nothing to do with backing up Creation nor disproving it.

            • DarthPyro on 09/07/2021 - 12:24

              @MrBin: Fossils prove sudden not gradual existence

              And we can always discuss the dating methods for human fossils if you'd like.

                @DarthPyro: Evolution suggests that between the earliest known human ancestors millions of years ago and the current modern human (hundreds of thousands of years ago) there should be “in between” species with features progressively more humanlike and less apelike. This prediction was confirmed with fossils record.
                If you have a better method of dating fossils, please go ahead and publish it, you may earn a Nobel prize along the way. That’s how science works.

                • DarthPyro on 09/07/2021 - 13:06

                  @MrBin: Yes that is one of the many things evolution assumes

                  but even your feathered reptilian bird doesn't prove anything.

                  And these 'in between' species exclude other (and more likely) options

          Then look at your other comments saying the evidence is robust and can be easily verified?

          What is your best evidence of a transitional fossil? Is it Lucy, whose mere fragments are literally filled in with bronze which we know for certain was fabricated by a human sculptor after the fragments were discovered?

          I feel sorry for people blindly following this religion with literally fabricated evidence.

      "Mad" is an oversimplification, though plenty certainly were. But it caused problems for him at every level, including tension in his marriage. You really need to understand the society and culture of the time and place before you can step out of your own thinking to appreciate people's beliefs and attitudes. Good biographies are out there if you really are interested.

      I'm not sure. This is still steeped in the notion that we are special /higher / more evolved, which we are, but only to ourselves and in our own minds. I'm pretty sure Darwin was onto something but I think, as a philosophical matter, our utter unimportance was much better developed by others, both before and especially after him.

    People can believe that a cat and a tigers are related but a chimp and human are not.

    • Sblogz on 09/07/2021 - 09:12

      Maybe that's because there is a common designer, God and not that you were once a monkey and suddenly became a human.

        It goes deeper than that though. It's not just "common parts", but common sequencing, that makes no sense if evolution didn't happen. If it was directly done by God, God would be reproducing inefficiently sequencing in multiple animals.

        If you're a Christian, a good book to read is The Language of God by Francis Collins. Collins is a Christian who was the head of the Human Genome Project. The book is about the evidence for evolution and how the integrates that with the biblical texts and his Christianity.

    It said that they gave us the gift of speech and be able to think. Something evolution could not have done in the short time it took.
    Also that once we understand more about our DNA then we would know more about them.
    I have a feeling the doco was Ancient Aliens.

    So at which point did humans stop having genders and gender became a social construct?

    • INFIDEL on 09/07/2021 - 09:10

      So much around us is a social construct. Most fail to realise that.

      An example of a social construct is money or the concept of currency, as people in society have agreed to give it importance/value…
      And Currencies are quite fluid, changing in value by the second, & occasionally their name changes (Pound to Dollar here in 1966)!

      German travellers have told me Australians are wrong for driving on the left…

      So many people hold strong opinions & are offended when they are confronted by a different social construct to the one they hold!
      (Hence negs here for any view different to people's strongly held social constructs from a different belief!!)

      Realising that makes us think, rather than accept what we like to assume.

      I wonder where these support tickets actually go, perhaps there's some sort of "too hard, let's file it and hope it goes away" basket at Amazon support? It's still the wrong book, and what's worse, they're charging $5.30 for it!
