I see alot of bantering about Evolution and Creationism here. How do Creationist explain Paranormal activities? How do Evolutionist explain Paranormal activities? You guys are only talking about Physical Characteristics..
Creationist: "I don't know, but I think I do." Evolutionist: "I don't know, but I don't believe in that stuff anyway."
your are speaking as "paranormal" was something concrete that needs explanation. It's just a word that loosely groups a series of things people fantasize about and have no real factual basis.
Well, there is no unity on the subject. For example, some creationists deny the existence of ghosts, while others consider them to part of the afterlife. An evolutionist believes in natural explanations, so might refer to the work of Carl Jung on archetypes, or, if adventurous, some sort of extra-dimensional model. Or simply call the evidence "insufficient." In fact, creation and evolution are a false dichotomy. There's no reason a god could not have created the world and then permitted it to evolve.
Indeed I am using paranormal loosely.. Nothing in Evolution or Creationism is concrete as well. No one has witnessed either act of creationism or evolution. Does that make paranormal activity not actual?
No. Claims need to be tested and supported by evidence, not just postulated. So far no experiment has yet shown that any paranormal claim is truly paranormal. Evolution is strongly supported by evidence, at the same level or more than many scientific claims considered as facts.
Maybe so cientifico but the original reason of evolution and why life is inclined towards evolution hasnt been explained yet. Seems like some force within the organisms are leaning them towards evolving. I love designs that are GRAND dont you
there is no reason. by reason you are implying a 'reasoner' which is your postulate maybe it hasn't been explained to you. evolution is a natural consequence of the properties of the genetic systems and the interaction of organisms and environment. it's not a force, life evolves because it's inevitable. Yes, natural selection produced better designs than anybody could have devised.
The debate over evolution is generally settled in the minds of those who truly comprehend it. It is not really debatable that evolution occurs, or that natural selection is a factor in it. As pointed out above, it is pure logic that survival traits are likelier to occur in populations, since every living thing is descended from successful breeders. This does not mean that natural selection is the only factor in evolution, or that all incidents of speciation occur through chance. On the contrary, there are traits with a negative impact on survival that endure nonetheless. It does seem as if life itself is still unexplained, although we can describe the development of it. Evolution does not actually explain how an inert collection of inorganic substances assume the imperative of survival in the first place. I suppose the answer is that this question doesn't get asked on planets where this magical spark of life never formed.
