When one defines what constitutes an illness solely based on how his tummy feels when he thinks about something, he is being narcissistic. When one ignores several independent lines of research that have meaningfully described what constitutes a mental illness and what does not, he is being...

The use of the word message (and code even) are only metaphors to help us understand. There are no senders or receivers per se. Gene changes effect structures directly. A protein with different properties is created. Like in creating curly hair instead of straight. Curly hair lets the head...

There would only be marginal fluctuations. We see large upswings more frequently than probability would allow.

No clue means no evidence. No evidence means no justifiable belief. Have you read the old testament?

I can't tell if you got the joke or not.

Listen to the whole speech and take the excerpt in context. I fixed the link.

Taking the focus off a war criminal to service hate of Biden and the soothing feeling that a belief in a controlled conspiracy can provide is a foolhardy stance. Putin and chaos are very real threats in this world.

It was puffery about SPACE FORCE. Sorry to let you down.

So? Species are operational defined within relevant fields of study, though there are different definitions in each. No, it's not. It's one definition of speciation. Two species can find their own niche within the environment and not be any less fit overall. Capitalizing words does not...

This is what you do not get: No creature is born drastically different from its parents. Also: There is no such a thing as a kind, per se. There are distant relatives that lose the ability to procreate with one and other. Novel combinations occur all the time. What is the actual biological...

This is just inaccurate. What was once a semi-reasonable concern has collapsed over time. Remedial forms have been found in almost every lineage in recent decades. The bat lineage still has a few gaps but otherwise everything is falling into place. Truth of the matter is: every fossil is of a...

You yourself have 70 to 200 mutations. How are you feeling? Mistakes that increase variability to be selected from in a population can and do lead to improvements. E. Coli that metabolizes citrate becomes the norm in environment where there are none of the usual sources of nutrition. Yes we...

There is no need to be that reductionistic. The whole is greater than its parts. On what basis? You reject empirical method. At least I stay in the real world.

Do you have any mutations? Did they damage you? The rare mutation is damaging to an individual. Accumulating benign mutations that can coalesce to increase variability in populations and can test out reproductive success is a clear path to adaptation over time. You have yet to articulate...

Stop looking for who and start understanding how. You think you have access to absolute right and wrong through God. You strain to make sense of a sacred book and apply it to modern problems? If we agree to the simply criteria that it is a virtue to reduce human suffering and increase...

The change in allele frequencies across generations means a pathway to success is forged over time. Organisms are better and better able to contend with environmental changes.

I do not think you know what random means. Evolution is not a random process and neither is morality based on reason rather. Your foundation is illusory. A ball of contradictions can do you no good even though you have a sense of deluded certainty.

Meanwhile autocracy has no balancing mechanism leaving evil to grow unchecked. A Democratic Republic is the closest humans can come to government by reason because it exposes ego and superstition.

You brought up those terms. You can have them. They only obliquely apply to what I mentioned to right divider.

I am. God?
