  Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution

  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.

  @cofty: I have actually presented information in the form of two links..

  you are the person who don't present information asides your own opinion and straw men.

  To me, it seems you just assume I am some kind of idiot and everything I say is based on a very shallow understanding. OK thats cool I can work with that. If that is true, you should very easily be able to demonstrate it by having a reasonable discussion, so lets do that like grown ups instead of asking silly tasks of each other?

  what is your refutation of integrated information theory for instance?

  it is a bit funny that you are always asking creationists to post what books they have read and if they haven't read the books you like you treat it like a huge victory... but in this case you can't even be bothered to do research on your own but must have it all spoon fed.

  much standard, so double!

  @Cofty: There is no science involved in the woo-woo of panpsychism

  ok. so none of this is science?

  you don't think the people who come up with this stuff are scientists?

  bc it sure looks like they write this stuff in science publications...

  "If you disagree go start a thread and tell us specifically what it is all about"

  you behave like a salty old schoolteacher who can give us homework. I am under no obligation to carry out any silly task you decide to task me with and which would require considerable investment on my part.

  before I do that u must clearly specify what your position is on the above research so I even know if there is something to discuss...

  I have read the article and I think it is interesting and worth considering for those with an open mind & genuine interest in the subject. if you are willing to discuss the science, I will be happy to do that. But your straw men isn't really an argument...

  @cofty: did the article say rocks have personalities? --> straw man.

  @cofty: "I said it is incapable of ever being proven right or wrong. Therefore it is 'not even wrong'". --> site I linked disagree with you...but I bet you know better lol.

  @cofty:" I never called it stupid". -> then what do you call it?

  @cofty: "Unless you are 14 years old stop say 'lol'" --> LMFAO you are seriously trying to police what I can find funny!

  lol @cofty, did u even read the article?

  u can't prove how evolution created consciousness... but I don't dismiss any ideas as stupid bc I have an open mind!

  you still haven't explained why panpsychism is obviously wrong by the way. you just flail your arms and call it stupid lol.

  can u for instance explain why this is any worse than other ideas about consciousness?

  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:
