Well, if one sees someone drop their wallet, the natural response is to give them back their wallet. Why? By keeping the wallet, we would profit, and it would not greatly harm the other individual. But why do we have that inner conscience, that tells us to give back the wallet? It just does not go along with the idea of survival of the fittest.
As for that thing about vultures helping each other, why? Refer back to what I have just stated above, it does not help the vultures much to help the other vultures, but they do it anyways. This just does not "fit in" with an aspect of pure survival, what evolution implies.
Anyways, not really going anywhere with this current subject, so we might as well move on, if anyone else has some other discussion to talk about... well, you know, bring it up.
Vultures, humans and animals in general look after their own.
Your example about the wallet doesn't apply here for two reasons:
1) The same part of the brain that is responsible for giving that bliss feeling after you have recieved a lot of money is the same part of the brain that gives a feeling of happiness from recieving compliments.
2) Humans are after compliments. We like people to talk nicely about us. Chances are, if someone drops their wallet and you give it back - they would talk about you all day to family/friends.
Survival of the fittest also doesn't apply here - we have already proved ourselves the superior race on Earth. Although humans compete with each other (i.e Cold War) we are not really evolving, as our physical bodies are not affected by such competition - with our intelligence, we build things that make it unnecessary for us to use humans directly for battles (for example, we don't use our fists for fighting - if we did, yes we would evolve to have harder fists, perhaps.) Instead, we use man-made war machines to aid us in battle, and help us win a war without using our bodies. Warplanes, for example, deal a lot more damage than fists can - and require a lot less physical energy to operate.
I'm not sure this post really clarifies everything. It is rather incoherant, I wrote half of it late last night before almost falling asleep on my keyboard, and decided to continue writing it today.
That would be a relatively nice and simple theory - but apparently, scientists are finding many flaws in what used to be the most accepted hypothesis for the origins of the universe - the Big Bang.
yes evolution happened but He was just perfecting His creations
If I were in the mood to debate religion right now, I could point out many contradictions in that statement, but I'm not exactly energetic right now, so I'll keep it nice and short.
If there was an Eternal Being - he would foresee the future and find out what would happen with each of his creations, and thus create them in perfect form (if that was His intention.) So unless He decided to make species evolve on purpose, from the start, it could hold a pretty decent argument. If He were truly omnipotent, He would not need to upgrade His creations, instead just creating them in perfect shape from the start.
I just noticed another flaw in you're first statement:
Yes, the big bang happened, but God guided it
What happened to 'God created everything in 6 days'?
The Big Bang theory suggests all matter and energy was 'crammed' into a tiny ball that exploded within a trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second (more or less, I remember reading something like that in my cosmology book - can't find it anywhere! )
creationist explains how life began evolution explains diversity but we still came from chemicals reactions from early earth that formed RNA/DNA which later became the first cells
@gman1000 - Not all Christians are creationists - Why do you just repeat what you are told without even thinking over it? - You have no proof (Bible does not count, I could write a book that details how the universe was created when a Pegasus farted, does not mean it is true).
Evolutionism is the clearly proved theory, and thus I believe it more than creationism. BUT, I believe a greater power somewhere out there created the spark that led us to evolutionism...
I knew it would come to the point everyone realized they can't win a debate so they became protectively arrogant. Everyone is saying "no one can change my beliefs", and I'll I've seen is that those who believe in Creationism are Christians and all of those have no evidence to back it up. While Evolutionists have proof and logic to do so. That's all I have seen. Mac_MK, that is true, which is why it is under debate in which you are not willing to join, but state what you believe in. Also, no one can say what is 100% correct but Evolutionists have more background so in a debate you would, sadly, fail.
