Philosophy 201 Guidelines

Cogito ergo sum

Here in the Philosophy forum we will talk about all the "why" questions. We'll have conversations about the way in which philosophy and theology and religion interact with each other. Metaphysics, ontology, origins, truth? They're all fair game so jump right in and have some fun! But remember...play nice!

    The point is there is no randomness because God is involved and directing it. Which we both agree on...

    This is a faith-belief only which, unlike science, is unsupported by objective verifiable falsifiable evidence.

    Again, again, again, again 'had to have' has absolutely nothing to with the discussion when we are addressing the science of abiogenesis and evolution. The Laws of Nature determine whether there is an environment, and when there is a suitable environment on a planet anywhere in the universe there will be abiogenesis and the evolution of life.



    Good so you agree that there was randomness in our evolutionary history...

    Absolutely NO!

    What are you talking about Shuny? You believe that God created man, so nature alone did not do this; there was intent and control by God.

    No, as referenced randomness only can be applied to the randomness of one event, like the throw of a dice. It does not apply to evolutionary history beyond the randomness of an event.

    I already stated that the abiogenesis and evolution was inevitable base don the suitability of the environment. The history of the earth has a suitable environment therefore abiogenesis and evolution was inevitable. Every planet in the universe with a suitable environment will have the abiogenesis and evolution of life. The cause of the planet with a suitable environment for life is based on the Laws of Nature.

    You did say: "Shuny, no one believes that life on earth was inevitable, . . . "
    Of course that is true, no one thinks that it was inevitable, no one thinks that earth had to have the conditions necessary for life.

    I did not say the evolution of humans was inevitable. I said, "abiogenesis and evolution was inevitable."

    I already shoot down your use of randomness from the scientific perspective, but you persist. I will cite how you are misrepresenting the use of chance too from the science perspective. Your unfortunate us of randomness and chance using a layman's understanding, a religious agenda, and no basis in science continues to be an unresolved problem.

    Uh, no.

    that is what is known as "rationalizing" and trying to come up with analogies after the fact.

    and you obviously know nothing about electronics or how computers came about.

    I also support that our evolution is environment driven, and a product of the Laws of Nature. Human evolution does not have to inevitable to be based on the Laws of NAture and the environment.
