Apognophos - Thanks, that was some really good critical thinking on your part. The example about how thoughts producing goosebumps, the wincing from perception to the eye, etc.
I wasn't aware it's believed that evolutionary processes that are not for a benefit happen, such as when you mentioned " ability to send environmental information to one's skin cells might develop before the skin cells can change color." I'll have to check into that, but if so, that makes your case a bit stronger.
Overall your response did move the impossibility of the idea over a few notches for me and gave me some things to investigate deeper, thanks.
A big plus on your end too was instead of just quoting a book or scientist or somebody saying something along the lines of 'this is the fact and take me word for it' you used reason and specific examples.
Having been a believing JW, I don't care if it's religion or science, I will never just take anybody's word for it no matter what their credentials are. So that's the way to reason with someone. Thanks again!
Space Madness - Yea exactly. I won't be surprised if the discussions/debates at some point look like this.... Athiest to believer: "Go back to first grade and read the basic science books". Believer to Athiest: "Read my book of bible stories then work your way up to the bible".
