Why is evolution such an evil theory?

Posted by Devo on March 3, 2025, 11:11 am

Why?

It’s a racist theory. “Out of Africa…” LOLS:-)). Hollywood 2.0

Nothing racist at all. Humans DID originate in Africa.

The only route to have evolved from there would be those big black apes.

Is that what you are suggesting?

lol you are so worried about a "black" cell or two...

sad really

We ARE apes. Look at the anatomical characters.

Scientific Theories Are NEITHER Evil nor Good. They are FALSE or TRUE. Evolution is TRUE.

Furthermore, the truth value of a theory is NOT binary, either true or false.

Theories are models of nature. A theory can be VERY accurate compared to observation, or only partially accurate.

Devo, in your opinion perhaps. Why do you think so? I find nothing to be evil aboout it.

Evolution is ungodly

That's why I said it.

How

Evolution is ungodly ?

Devo, but is it? You have this idea that religion and science are opposites, and enemies. I would suggest that both are just different ways of explaining the same thing, the reality that we live in and experience.

Evolution is evil

Posted by Devo on March 13, 2025, 11:55 am, in reply to " Evolution is ungodly ?"

It really, truly is. There's nothing good about the theory of evolution.

How?

Because saying we came from apes is evil

Posted by Devo on March 15, 2025, 10:46 am, in reply to "How?"

It really is!

There, you said it. Must we be denigrated by such musings?

You can rest now. Evolution doesn't say that. No need to post again.

Evolution DOES say that

Posted by Devo on March 15, 2025, 11:47 am, in reply to "You can rest now. Evolution doesn't say that. No need to post again."

Yes, it does!

Evolution says that, speaking taxonomically, we ARE apes.

Posted by DFM on March 16, 2025, 12:22 pm, in reply to "Evolution DOES say that"

We aren't apes, though

Posted by Devo on March 17, 2025, 5:10 am, in reply to "Evolution says that, speaking taxonomically, we ARE apes."

Far from it, actually.

We very much ARE apes by taxonomic characters.

Posted by DFM on March 18, 2025, 2:25 pm, in reply to "We aren't apes, though"

In scientific biological classification, membership in a group is determined by observable characters. Here is our family tree:

You have no evidence that humans are actually apes

Posted by Devolution on March 18, 2025, 2:27 pm, in reply to "We very much ARE apes by taxonomic characters."

You just have biased observations.

Anatomical characters DEFINE relatedness and humanness.

Posted by DFM on March 18, 2025, 4:43 pm, in reply to "You have no evidence that humans are actually apes"

Putting it simply: It is IMPOSSIBLE to construct a taxonomic category which includes chimps, orangs, and gorillas which does NOT include humans.

Here are a few:

same blood types: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6775134/

prehensile hands: [obvious]

eyes: Just look at a chimp eye close up in the zoo and you will see ZERO difference in structure.

DNA: humans have a 98% match with chimps, higher than DNA match with gorillas or orangutans; that ALONE proves that humans are apes if you are rational.

Can you substantively support that accusation of bias?

Posted by 7:77 on March 18, 2025, 4:35 pm, in reply to "You have no evidence that humans are actually apes"

That would require demonstrating that literally thousands of taxonomic biologists and anthropologists were biased in their observations of apelike characteristics in homo sapiens. Good luck with that...

Nice ad populum fallacy

Very nice.

There are zero white apes. Occasionally an albino as with all

Posted by GOG on March 16, 2025, 1:21 pm, in reply to "Evolution says that, speaking taxonomically, we ARE apes."

God’s races. Explain how we turned white from black?

environmental adapation, genetic shake and bake

Posted by Trish on March 17, 2025, 2:23 pm, in reply to "There are zero white apes. Occasionally an albino as with all "

You misunderstand Evolution completely. Color is totally superficial.

Posted by DFM on March 16, 2025, 5:46 pm, in reply to "There are zero white apes. Occasionally an albino as with all "

so apes are evil? Come on!

Devo, why are you so certain about that? You really have not presented a case as to how evolution is bad, much less evil.

I noticed how of some Christians claim something is evil, and then they want to ban information and even study about something they disagree with.

Usually when some scream about something, it is a good reason for me to check it out. I come to my own conclusions and do let anyone judge for me.

Same reason that don't want any religion to control the laws. That way, in the past, led to tyranny in governments when politics and religion were combined.

It's not - TADA
