How Scientists Discovered the Staggering Complexity of Human Evolution
Scientific America ^ | September 2018 | Kate Wong

Posted on 05/06/2024 8:22:32 PM PDT by kawhill

Of Homo sapiens, Darwin made only a passing mention on the third-to-last page of the tome, noting coyly that "light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history." That's it. That is all he wrote about the dawning of the single most consequential species on the planet.

It’s such an impossible randomness, that it is laughable people believe it. Professing themselves to be wise, they become fools.

Scientists admit the existence of “Y-chromosome Adam” and “mitochondrial Eve”, as they call our ancestors, but deny that they were created.

O’Brien of 1984 is at once a monster and a fascinating creature, being distilled from real-life worshipers of human will and collectivism. He expounds his belief in power being collective by declaring individual human beings to be “only a cell” of the collective body, thus the only way to possess and wield real power is to have one’s will control the collective—and the only way to impose power is through suffering.

adaptation (husbandry, artificial or natural selection) alone is not sufficient to drive or demonstrate Darwinian evolution via the scientific method. that requires a mechanism for speciation, and a demonstration of true speciation in nature. despite the claims of it’s practitioners, neither has been demonstrated via scientific method in any sort of reproducible experiment, or even via conclusive historical or philosophical methods (non-scientific), for that matter.

interesting, yx and xx fit perfectly with the Word of God as Eve being taken from Adam. the y seems to be quite shrunken; however, perhaps from it’s original full state in an uncorrupt Adam. the evolutionists of course like that it’s shrunken.

it seems extra normal female x’s are inactivated of course to prevent mayhem. but all the y’s of a xyy or xyyy male seem to be active as heck. especially in the male prison populations.

yes. O’Brien didn’t of course think of himself as a ‘monster.’ he was a zealous believer every word he espoused.

First you would have to show how evolution disproves God. Some will make that claim of course, but they don’t know that you can’t prove a negative with a negative. And why would God feel he must prove himself to us? If that were the case why not arrange the stars to spell “HERE I AM”. It is us that must prove ourselves to him.

The article is not trustworthy, clearly deceptive:

“Although Darwin’s work came down firmly on the side of monogenism—the idea that all humans share a common ancestor—it was nonetheless co-opted to support notions about racial superiority.”

This is an outright lie and attempted rewriting history.

The full title of Darwin’s book was “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life”

I’m a fan of ants. Their abilities fascinate me.

I have a yard full I’ll be glad to share.

While I can marvel at and admit to their tenacity and instinctual behavior, etc., I get joy bringing the power of Amdro on their antennaed little heads.

I did some research of my own. Here’s what I found:

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

Solved it.

Very good. I expect that most of us solved it in Sunday School.

But what would these pontificating scientists do for a living if they believed the Truth? “Never argue with a man whose job depends on not being convinced.” Mencken (I think)

I brought that up before... I also said maybe the Bible is our Earth’s version of events. How do we know a Creator God didn’t create numerous lifes on an infinite number of other planets and in the big scheme of things these other life forms are reaching out to other planets.

Closed minds have a hard time with that

You are right.
God created it all, including man, in 6 (six) days (meaning “days”).

To think otherwise is to carve your own personal (and comfortable) image of God. Turns out, He doesn’t like that way of thinking.

100-percent!

Stop being influenced by fools.

The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” Psalm 14:1

(I am adding for interpretation...)

"There is no God - other than the one I have imagined in my intelect."

Sounds like the “scientists” who “explain” the Big Bang theory by saying that nothingness made it inevitable....

I found this fascinating and an eye-opening 5-minute video worthy of serious consideration. Presented by a former atheist who set out to have believers question their beliefs, this short (and arguably entertaining) talk does not take a "preachy" approach, but rather offers a scientific (although easy to understand) perspective, and discusses four -- count 'em -- four "big bangs!:

Being then God’s offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man.
