evolution and consciousness
Offline we all know that humans including animals have a conscousness. when someone is feeling down we feel sorry for them,even with dogs when their owner is hurt they would cry. if these emotions wasnt put in by god,then what put them there? it sure wasnt evolution because that means evolution would literally have a mind of its own. evolution is mostly known as "surival of the fittest" it would not add the ability where animals feel sorrow because as i know evolution makes species able to surive in any habitat. so that means they must be agressive and have no emotions. why would evolution put the ability where animals feel sad for their owner or even cry period? why do we cry when we see people are hurt or loose a loved one? simple answer god. god put emotions in everyone,if you can explain other wise share you thoughts thanks

IKnowTruth - read a book, please for fuck's sake read a goddamned book.
He's describing what I like to call Creationist Evolution. That's how fools like this guy get around it. They invent their own version of evolution that is full of flaws, fallacies and errors then point those errors out. It's the only way they can make arguments that are correct. It doesn't make the real theory and process of evolution any less correct and real.
I'm quite amused by truthy. He's gone a full circle in this one thread 4 times now. He gets refuted, disappears for a few days then comes back and makes the exact same assertions that have already been refuted. He lost all his arguments on the second page of this thread and even conceeded that he lost - yet here he is back at the assertions and arguments from the first page.

"IKnowTruth - read a book, please for fuck's sake read a goddamned book."
actually i read many books and no books i believe will make evolution look believeable.
IknowTruth wrote:"It's actually not even necessary. There are bacteria that feed off of volcanic vents in the ocean floor that have never needed contact with anything above to live. The universe simply allows for life, and it happens. That's what we know. What you're saying is that you know exactly where life comes from, and it just happens to be this specific invisible thing. You can't know that, but you're pretending that you do. It's dishonest."
ok and why are you bringing up bacteria for? when has bacteria turned into anything other than bacteria? let me predict your answer. over billions of years bacteria evolved into everything there is today,so that means we share an common ancestor with bacteria...wow
first off i have never been refuted once on this board, and it isnt me that brought up abiogenesis evolutionist did. i really cant see how you all will try and seperate abiogenesis from evolution, when abiogenesis should be the most important because it is the origin of life.some how some inanimate matter evolved into living organisms...wow...evolutionist. i would do the same thing to avoid abiogenesis becuase it sounds so dumb just like evolution. i bet you all still think carbon dating also proves evolution.
Read a book without the words, "Crichton" or "Strobel" on the cover. I'm not trying to make you understand evolution... in even the remotest, eighth grade kind of way. It's just... I'm laughing at you. When I read your posts, I feel bad, because I have to realize there's a person writing these things, and they're in this terrifying benighted state.
thank god cause no one understand evolution. i make a few word errors and run on sentences because first off this isnt a spelling bee.this is a site with a bunch of atheist who believes in a process which there is no proof of nor how it even begin...sad, so i really dont care if i make a mistake on here, because im arguing with a bunch of people who believe in evolution and actually think that it disproves god sad... you all will believe anything " recently a big chunky skull was found called hytomphic-anoglus it dates back 300 million years" if i was to post this on the internet about 90% of the atheist will believe it. no wonder evolutionist make so much money becuase they can make up anything and you all will go buy it and think its factual. i may just become an under cover evolutionist so i can make money off you all.
No, that's not true. I understand evolution. It's actually pretty simple. I don't think it disproves God. God does that by not showing up.
What evolutionists make so much money? Who are you talking about?
Um ... I call troll. Ordinarily I'd just call shenanigans, but we've left the reasonable here.

In your next sentence you complain about being persecuted for bad spelling and grammar, which is something I've hitherto not mentioned. So I gotta ask: are you baiting me into attacking this ridiculous literary abortion so that that unsubstantiated charge will hold?
You seem to have disengaged from the conversation completely, and have gone into a private fugue.
I agree, you've been refuted MANY more times than just once.
Once again you show you only have an understanding of Creationist Evolution and not Evolution and its associated scientific theory.
No, it just provides the age of objects. This age when it comes to objects such as fossils help us place them in the right order to see the changes over time. If you're arguing that carbon dating is incorrect I would recommend you get your arse off Answers in Genesis and instead read the refutations and bad science pointed out by TalkOrigins. Oh snap, yet another refutation.

Hey IknowTruth ,
Evolution is fact. Evolution doesn't have MOST the answers. But that is no reason to reject it. Just as I don't reject G AWE D, because god is basically a term for the unknown. I reject Dogma.

carbon dating sure can never prove a BILLION year old earth because first of all the earth isnt 4.7 billion years old. also the chemical changes in the air increase and change the calculations. most of the time carbon dating dated almost all the fossils to thousands of years not MILLIONS and BILLIONS.
I thought you were talking about carbon dating as it related to evolution, not the age of the earth? Make up your mind. If you want to check out the age of the earth and how it was determined then read this.
Carbon dating isn't the only form of dating something. Radiocarbon dating is only accurate up to around 50,000 years. Anything older needs to be dated via other methods such as radiometric dating etc. Of course, you'd know this if you actually read the very short link in my previous post making it clear that you have no intention of actually arguing anything with us accurately but rather you'd prefer to argue the creationist misinterpretation of everything.
Oh snap, refuted again.

I have watched one partial episode of Most Evil (I only watched the episode partially because it was too sickening). It's amazingly ironic that you claim how only demons can cause mentally ill people to murder, when there's a PSYCHOLOGIST on the show explaining it!
Why do you have to ignore everything that you are told? It's damn annoying. And for chrissakes, stop personifying evolution like it's an entity with a will of it's own. The universe and evolution with the process of natural selection are inanimate.
Trust and believe in no god, but trust and believe in yourself.
Guys, just stop talking to IKnowShit. He's obviously a YEC that doesn't understand one thing about evolution. He just wants to pretend that he does know.

Others answered you, but I'm now debating with an italian catholic on the very same issue, so I reflected a bit on your question.
Never bothered to ask "why reptilians - or fishes - or amphibians - do not show any sign of empathy? Do you have notice of a single snake suffering for the death of his master? God seems to be a bit selective when granting his gifts, at least.
You could consider, on the other hand, that we find empathy only in the species raising their young, and only in them. This could be a good hint, don't you think?
The fact is, mammals do care of their young. Without this care, no mammal would reach maturity. We would be all dead, as would be dead the dolphins, the monkeys, the rats and so on.
This care implies, as every human parent could tell you, a strong sensitivity for the children needs. These needs are often unexpressed, because our young still do not know how to communicate. We, as mammals, have the capability to read emotions, to express them, to "feel" them.
This strong and incredible capability, empathy, do allow us to feel sorrow and sadness not only for us, but for our kind too, and sometimes for other species too - especially for other mammals, because on this very thing we are much the same.
It's really a simple answer, right under our eyes. You don't need God to explain empathy.
That's such an excellent answer, and I can't believe I didn't think of it.
