The Philosophy of Evolution

easter

Evolution isn't only full of lies, deceit and hoaxes in its scholarly work. In fact the most problematic aspect of Evolution is its philosophy. What is the inner most soul of evolution?

Evolution was primarily spear headed because of a strong belief in the idea of racism by its proponents and its supporters. You can not only find this in its general ideas but it comes from the thoughts of its personalities as well.

Klaatsch (german evolutionist):

""... we cannot deny that the recent tendency of anthropology is not to support the idea of unity of the race that has been suggested by religion and sentiment considerations. Modern science cannot confirm the exaggerated humanitarianism which sees our brothers and sisters in all the lower races"

Huxley:
"No rational man, cognizant of the facts, believes that the average Negro is the equal, still less the superior, of the white man. And, if this be true, it is simply incredible [to assume] that, when all his disabilities are removed, ... he will be able to compete successfully with his bigger-brained and smaller-jawed rival, in a contest which is to be carried out by thoughts and not by bites."


What does Darwin himself thinks about races?

"'I could show [that war had] done and [is] doing [much] . . . for the progress of civilization . . . The more civilized so-called Caucasian races have beaten the Turkish hollow in the struggle for existence. Looking to the world at no very distant date . . . an endless number of lower races will have been eliminated by the higher civilized races throughout the world.'"

In fact what is the complete title of Darwin's famous work?

"The Origin. of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life"

Look at the phenotypes and genotypes of these organism and tell me that evolution doesn't exist.

Avoiding incriminating questions as a survival mechanism?

Questions like:

In your opinion, how old is the earth? How old is the universe? What is your position on evolution, the Big Bang, and the descent of man?

That's #7. I'll keep asking to the hundreds if I have to, and it's not my credibility at stake here, it's yours, easter.

You should know by now you're just wasting your time, our pal easter seems to have neither the backbone nor the know-how to answer any of those questions...

Quite sad really :(

micketymoc

...and with every question unanswered, he proves his incompetence as an apologist again and again and again.

You'd have to be some kind of stupid - or some kind of dishonest - to be absolutely incapable of putting your own opinion on the line.

err... ouch!

MOOCHIE! Kelan ka bababang Maynila?

Oops. Off topic.

Although this is an interesting debate. Lots of.. subtext.

micketymoc

Hey, I haven't seen you around in a while. What's up? (yeah, yeah, offtopic)

Ischaramoochie

@Tess: I'll be around saturday and sunday. why, do you want to treat me to some food?

Lucca Yamazaki

I'll check if my homey Thomas Hobbes can give some sort of answer...

Gravitism was primarily spear headed because of a strong belief in the idea of racism by its proponents and its supporters! You can not only find this in its general ideas but it comes from the thoughts of its personalities as well!

Here is a horrific example of how Gravitism's racist soul shows it's ugly face.

What does Newton himself think about races?

In a letter of 1672 to the secretary of the Royal Society, he says he is going "to try therewith the celebrated phenomena of colours." What a racist!

Lucca Yamazaki

Ah, the fond memories.

the earth? 4 billion + years. the unvierse? 12 billion ++ years. "Evolution is a fact." - Carl Sagan. Big bang? it really happened. The descent of man?
Hydrogren broken down by heat from stars like the sun to form complex molecules that precede the emergence of DNA, and then so on and so forth over the last 400 million years of the cosmic calaendar.

Lucca Yamazaki

Just one weird question...

Aren't you guys worried that them Bible-thumpers would eventually evolve into smarter and snazzier forms that will eventually take us evolutionists out?

Are humans still exposed to selection pressures? I would think that social systems and institutions have shielded us from evolution (or at least from natural selection). And selection pressures does not preclude our getting dumber.

wasuuuuuuu

humans are social; and animals.

Survival of the "Fittest" is not about physically fit, not about the most strongest, nor the most intelligent. Fittest means, the best who can adapt or "fit" the longest to its environment.

Philippines and any rich soil location around the globe have huge populations like china and india, their geographical positions are the best locations to provide the basic essentials of life.

The "survival of species" is not all competition, but to be able to adapt to its environment, like the finches in different islands of galapagus, they are not competing to survive with other animals, their beaks changed becuase of the flowers available in the environment had also changed. where nature and nurture plays the part of natural selection.

sa atin nga, basta may lupa at inhabitable, nagdadamihan ang mga bata ,dalhin mo sila sa diserto, di iyan dadami ng mabilis.... at kahit pa nga sa gubat ka, if you think you can adapt in the jungle, and can beat any predators, well get a partner, you can start your own gene pool too.... hehehe!!
