Devolution, not evolution

    Scientists discovered an organism that has not evolved in more than 2 billion years (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/02/150203104131.htm)

    One can dismiss this as an exception*! Yet overwhelming proofs are too obvious to miss if we take the community as an individual (community is the reflection of the behavior pattern of the individuals that make up the whole)

    1)   Religions started in brotherhood, then deteriorated into divisiveness.

    2)   Politics came for man’s welfare, then deteriorated into arms-merchants (with the inherent need to create conflict either to stay in business or to sell more arms).

    3)   Hospitals started as charitable institutions, then deteriorated into a money-making machine.

    4)   Economy appeared as a system to bring order, then deteriorated into greed (built on greed, fondly called Demand-Supply mechanism, and share-market)

    5)   Science appeared as a messiah, introducing things that save us energy, effort and time, then giving us things to pass the time thus saved, thus uploading us onto a Treadmill. Most of its accomplishments brought in a Sedentary life-style which brought in many diseases (for which medicines were invented, some of which will create some more diseases)

    6)   Easy spreading of religions like Christianity that appeals to the declining attitude of humans in general. It had a phenomenal growth when it replaced the teaching of Reincarnation [found in verses such as Matthew 11:14 and Galatians 6:7, which can make people think twice before they act/react as they are aware that they cannot escape the consequences] with teaching of Ransom Sacrifice of Jesus Christ [which says ‘one man sinned and all became sinners, and we can become righteous because of one man’s righteousness]. One can easily discern the genesis of this teaching: When the claim of being God’s chosen people was foiled by Nebuchadnezer, the notion of Messiah arose. When Messiah was killed, his very death was interpreted as Ransom Sacrifice, yet not knowing to whom the ransom was paid! Ear-tickling teaching of Ransom Sacrifice is introduced in John 3:16, yet the preceding verses such as 3:13 was never uttered by Jesus, but was put into his mouth by the later writers. In John 3:13 Jesus supposedly spoke: ‘no one ascended into heaven except him.’ Jesus cannot make such statements in the beginning of his ministry, he could say that after ascending into heaven. It’s like Obama saying in the last century: “No one has become US President from Black Community except me.” He can say that only after becoming the US President!

    * One can dismiss this as an exception saying this particular organism in question did not get the physical or biological environment that demands its evolution! This argument accomplishes nothing. Because a saint may turn into sinner and vice-versa depending upon the change of environment! So environment is proof for both evolution and devolution!

    That is the most muddle-headed post in the history of the internet.

    Organisms only evolve if there are selection pressures. In a stable environment, with no competition there is no advantage in change.

    The rest of your post is the usual negative, cultish whinging.

    Do you sometimes feel stressed? Do you sometimes feel you have a lot of uncertainty in life? We are offering a free personality test this month..

    Is this the guy from the no-sex sect?

    Cofty and Bohm,

    you are trying to change the subject.

    If you have proof, refute all or any of those six points that run against the Theory of evolution!

    Mind which is more important is not evolving!

    Bohm, I have no religion, I am a Deist (who believes that God has given us REASON, not religion)

    Abiather....your god given reason has served you well...but perhaps your god does not wish us all to reason as you do, there is always individuality and choice,or do you believe your god wishes us to reason as you do which begs the question why do feel the need to enlighten us with your posts. What do you hope to accomplish that your god can't do for us as individuals?

    Best wishes.

    Abiather your six points have nothing to do with evolution. You make no sense at all in your opening post.

    What's the point of the OP? ToE predicts organisms that not evolve in a non changing environment. Sharks are a good exemple of big organisms that went almost identical through ages. Nothing new under the sun...
