  Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution

  by dubstepped in

  2. friends

  so i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.

  i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.

  i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

  I have been doing some studying on my own and stumbled on this article which discuss the idea ordinary matter (atoms, spoons and so on) may possess consciousness... apparently very very smart people takes this idea seriously:

  @Salty: you are hilarious. I didn't start a single argument, rather I posted my opinion and you and a bunch of other people mistook me for a creationist and piled onto me. Feel free to join the discussion at any point!

  @slimboy:

  And misrepresentation.

  lol.. the famous mad @Salty reading skillz are at work!

  @cofty:

  lol, you still so salty you can't make yourself write my name! I may begin to call you Salty!

  Anyway, if the context somehow contains en explanation for consciousness feel free to join the adult discussion by pointing out out... or you can stay at the kids table & downvote me & grumble ;-).

  For starters, to explain the origin of thought, we got to know what thought is. Hint: "it is some kind of thing that occurs when neurons do stuff with each other" isn't a proper explanation either.

  Evolutionary theory does explain the origin of thought. We all share a common ancestor and over time what we describe as 'thought' has evolved to what we see today

  Dude, if you think that is actually a scientific explanation for something I get why you don't think I know what science is.

  It's like saying: Physics today know what dark matter is. It is some kind of field or particle which interact with other particles and pull them around, and at the same time they are hard to see in a telescope. This is my very scientific explanation, nothing to see here.

  Ain't no scientific explanation...

  Origin of thought is an open problem in evolutionary theory. deal with it. I for one am happy to admit there are things I don't know & can learn about.

  The FISA Memo, To Release Or Not To Release

  by freemindfade in

  1. social
  2. current

  was the doj, nsa, and fbi weaponized?

  the biggest scandal of this era, or a false alarm by the gop?

  i am skeptical what will come of it, however, some very strong reactions and words are coming from its existence and those who read it, also the fight to keep it secret is telling (reminds me of any cult trying to prevent people from reading damaging information).

  This memo sure has the liberals running around scared. Funny how they are doing a 180 on transparency & investigation the moment it seems the investigation might actually be going somewhere!

  I still wonder: Anyone has an idea what might be in the memo?
