Wiggins observed: It is difficult to be offended by absurdity, and the post is patently absurd. Attempting to draw connections between the age old and unchanged behavior of humans on one instance of scientific discovery is... well... silly.

Spirited: In just two sentences you’ve managed quite nicely to make clear the inner contradictions of evolutionary humanism. Either primordial slime magically changed into dinosaurs, then into tumble bugs, fish, humming birds, apes, and then finally man, or it did not. If it did, then your claim of ‘unchanged behavior’ is sheer nonsense. Unchanged? From what?! From that of slime? Seaweed? Lizards?

The claim of ‘unchanged behavior’ has no place within a metaphysical system based on continuous change. It’s place, rather, is found in the Christian worldview.

Ignoring that it only the supernatural alternative that makes any appeal to "magic," you are equivocating.

The "unchanged behavior" to which I refer has (in this discussion) been limited to the time frame of the last 2000 years, so no slime or seaweed need be considered. Your confusion over "From what?" is therefore difficult to credit.
