Like everything else, thought evolves

An assertion. Now tell me how thought or consciousness or justice evolved. These are nonmaterial. In your darwinist materialist world, how does materialism account for that which is nonmaterial?

People like you would be standing there with no response because you have painted yourselves into a box by a myopic reliance on a restricted, very personal and very literal interpretation of one small section of scriptures.

Which scripture did I use in discussing this matter with you?

If you are asking about the origins of life, that is another matter

If you would like to discuss cosmology or origin of life I will be more than happy to engage. I did not ask about these matters. I know it is a common technique for one illequiped to discuss matters at hand to change the subject. In examining my questions to you,(there were about 12 to 15) you answered none. NONE. You did not even try to answer any of my questions. Then after I asked a series of questions regarding biological darwinian evolution you come up with a statement like, "People like you........", an obvious ineffective, tangential ad hominem. You are the one who, in your earlier post, involked 'logic'. That is why I asked you the question. Yet you, having declared darwinism is the arbiter of that very logic, cannot account for it by materialism and scientific methodology. Moreover, the darwinist has no hope for ever justifying their claim they are masters of the domain of logic and that any other world view are....."people like you.....". Such 'scientific' hubris is one of the reasons you cannot, and will never be able to honestly examine such questions as I have put to you. It is such the intellectual overlords keep committing the same error. They never ask, "Could the other side be correct? Let us take a look at their position." This a priori commitment to materialism hobbles you from ever examining these issues honestly.

______

Kind of like one who, in a discussion about the origin of the species (evolution) and brings up abiogenesis as an attempt to derail a discussion about evolution.
