  God is our help, not “a burden”

  by venus in

  sir julian huxley (one of the great pillars of modern neo-darwinism) may be a symbol of people who feel god is a burden because he wrote: “the god hypothesis .

  is becoming an intellectual and moral burden on our thought.

  " therefore, he concluded that "we must construct something to take its place.

  Venus - You and your BK cult cronies are absolutely clueless about how evolution works despite numerous attempts to educate you. That is called wilful ignorance.

  No species tries and fails to adapt to changing environments. Either a population contains the necessary genetic resources to deal with change or they don't. In the case of fish facing the challenge of warming oceans those individuals who are genetically disposed to be smaller and therefore consume less oxygen will be better suited to the change in climate. On average they will produce more offspring who survive long enough to reproduce and therefore the genes for smaller phenotypes will prosper in the gene-pool. If the environment changes to much or too rapidly then species become extinct.

  Five times in the history of life over 90% of all life on earth became extinct due to rapid changes in the environment - and that was before humans existed. Life survived and recovered. All of life on earth today descended from the 4% species that survived the "Great Dying" of the Permian Extinction 250 million years ago.

  These events prove the fact of evolution and natural selection to be beyond all doubt.

  If mathematics teacher made a mistake, would it mean mathematics itself is wrong!

  by venus in

  2. beliefs

  many people point to the irrationality in the depiction of god by the religions and their scriptures, hence jump into the bottomless pit of atheism.

  in either camp, god is not a factor because religion is only a means that misrepresents god, hence religionists themselves are atheists (literally, those who live without god).

  it is like saying there exists no earth because you found out your friend who taught earth is flat is wrong; or it is like saying mathematics itself is wrong because you found out your mathematics teacher made a mistake.

  I am also taking leave from this thread

  It would be great if you and all your BK cronies would take your leave for good.

  By the way the reduction in fish size in reaction to warmer ocean temperatures is a perfect example of Natural Selection.

  No individual fish "adapts" to climate change. Rather those individuals who are genetically disposed to be smaller and therefore consume less oxygen will be better suited to the change in climate. On average they will produce more offspring who survive long enough to reproduce and therefore the genes for smaller phenotypes will prosper in the gene-pool.

  Evolution = the change in frequency of alleles in a local population.

  Evolution started with an explosion (big bang) which resulted in every exploding pieces round and spinning which ultimately created all varieties of life forms.

  You win the prize for the most unscientific comment of 2017 so far. Congratulations the competition was really tough.

  Why have you suddenly lost the ability use English grammar? Has one of your other Brahma Kumaris buddies taken over? How many BK cult evangelists are positing under the Venus account? At least one of you has excellent English. This latest one not so much.

  Even the most simplest of living organisms contain a biological mechanism that can cause it to change and adapt and to pass on its traits to its descendants - Fishy

  No that is not how evolution works. No individual ever evolves.

  Evolution is about the change in frequency of alleles in a gene-pool. Evolution happens to a population over a very long period of time.

  I explained this in part 28 of the Evolution is a Fact series...

  You can believe what you like though but proof and self delusion should not be confused - Fishy

  Bible is good if we look for implied truth

  by venus in

  2. beliefs

  thumbs-up gesture doesn’t covey much if we see only four fingers closed and thumb standing upward.

  but if we look for the implied meaning, then it is a positive, informal signal indicating a job well done, and saying ‘keep it up.’.

  similarly, biblical accounts don’t convey much if we see them as mere accounts.

  The many BK evangelists that have plagued the forum either ignore questions about their membership or outright lie about it. I have PMs from some if them admitting as much afte they were exposed. Abiather was one of the prominent ones a while ago.

  Sometimes more than one person uses the same account. The standard of English language varies depending on who is writing. The Venus account mostly has good grammar but recently a couple of posts have clearly been written by somebody less familiar with the language.

  If somebody was posting about paradise, gentile times, blood, political neutrality and signs of the times we could safely assume they were a JW even if they denied it. For similar reasons it is obvious the Venus account is being used by BK members.

  The cult goes under literally dozens of names in order to create deniability.

  Reading Venus' crap regarding evolution is like playing creationism bingo. You only have a few more tropes to go for a full set.

  Either you are a troll or your ignorance really is off the scale.

  Venus your ignorance of evolution makes sensible conversation impossible.

  You have never read a science book in your entire life have you? You get your factoids from your BK cult resources.

  Maybe somebody has the time and patience to help educate you. I don't but you could start here...
