Without us being conscious, God doesn't exist. Ergo, consciousness > God ?

    No, just you, and of course those who don't understand the topic

    Another purposeful mutation theory?

    Please:

    "In the mid-19th century, Charles Darwin formulated the scientific theory of evolution by natural selection, published in his book On the Origin of Species (1859). Evolution by natural selection is a process demonstrated by the observation that more offspring are produced than can possibly survive, along with three facts about populations: 1) traits vary among individuals with respect to morphology, physiology, and behaviour (phenotypic variation), 2) different traits confer different rates of survival and reproduction (differential fitness), and 3) traits can be passed from generation to generation (heritability of fitness).[24] Thus, in successive generations members of a population are replaced by progeny of parents better adapted to survive and reproduce in the biophysical environment in which natural selection takes place."



    No one but you would feel a need to correct the highlighted portion of this paragraph, because for anyone beyond their teenage years, it's obvious.

    Better adapted, successful, beneficial, all and more are used all the time.

    [QUOTE="tom444, post: 1067686452, member: 74401"] Thus, in successive generations members of a population are replaced by progeny of parents better adapted to survive [/QUOTE]
    That's nice, you didn't say that. You said things evolve for the purpose of survival

    Your quote:
    Nothing has evolved for the purpose of your survival

    "12,500 YEARS AGO: EVOLVED TO LIVE AT HIGH ALTITUDES

    Until recently it was thought that our species had stopped evolving far in the past. Our ability to peer inside the human genome has shown that in fact our biology continues to change to suit particular environments."

    No one but a pimpled faced teenager, or a limited IQ turd, would feel a need to correct the above.

    Biology does not change to suit anything.

    No one but an obnoxious a$$hole would feel the need to correct the above.

    That was the point of putting up the quote, adolescent.

    Behavior changes to suit the biological change

    Your quote said the opposite.
    Your quote said biology changes to suit the invironment. Blatantly infantile and false

    Ha ha, that's why I put it up. To show you we use that kind of langue, even knowing technically it's incorrect. Boy, you really don't catch on do you.

    Another example:

    "
    1. What is evolution?
    [​IMG]
    Biological evolution refers to the cumulative changes that occur in a population over time. These changes are produced at the genetic level as organisms' genes mutate and/or recombine in different ways during reproduction and are passed on to future generations. Sometimes, individuals inherit new characteristics that give them a survival and reproductive advantage in their local environments; these characteristics tend to increase in frequency in the population, while those that are disadvantageous decrease in frequency. This process of differential survival and reproduction is known as natural selection. Non-genetic changes that occur during an organism's life span, such as increases in muscle mass due to exercise and diet, cannot be passed on to the next generation and are not examples of evolution."

    His language was as void of merit as yours.
    It's ok. You thought organisms mutated in response to environmental pressures. Many fourth graders think the same thing.

    Do you always talk like a tough guy, or just when you're hiding behind your computer screen?

    Please. No one is as dumb as you're acting.

    And no, I'm a tough guy in person.
