Re: Why is there a conflict between religion and science?

Also, if I bred dogs for size, what is going on with the genes in my pack? Probably producing a Great Dain? It's still a dog though and shows normal variation that we already know about.We have different color roses too,again normal variation. My point is and has been that this is not and cannot be...

Re: Is the Universe fundamentally Material, Mental or Both?

Well this is all totally conjecture of course. But yes, let's take a moment and question the self. If it is an illusion then that changes the very nature of consciousness. If the self is an illusion, then consciousness is simply pure perception, as all thoughts, sights, images, sounds, emotions, fee...

Re: Why is there a conflict between religion and science?

OK but its a waste of time when we already know. We've known for thousands of years all dogs are related to wolves,even Darwin knew it and is a big reason why he assumed life evolves based on this knowledge man has had for thousands of years. Even the ancient Greeks knew dogs came from wolves,so wh...

Re: Is the Universe fundamentally Material, Mental or Both?

That's not his argument. y:-/ Did you watch the whole video up until that point, because it seems you missed out on all the science and like he was presenting to support a mind-dependent reality. He mentions a lot of scientific tests, which lend support to the idea of what Michio Kaku calls "c...

Re: Why is there a conflict between religion and science?

Does this also mean that we can compare wolf and dog DNA and find the root of their differences? Yes,I suppose we can, but what would it prove or show? Well can we then compare the number of differences and use that to determine how closely related two individuals are? OK but its a waste of time wh...

Re: Why is there a conflict between religion and science?

So does this mean we can compare the genes of the siblings and pinpoint the differences in the code? And therefore the cause of the difference? Yes,however. I don't know if you've looked into Epigenetics but it might be changing the way we think about genes and DNA. It's been awhile since I have lo...

Re: Why is there a conflict between religion and science?

But what is the source of this variation, is it in the genes? As far as I am aware of yes it is in the genes,but my point is it is not and cannot be used for evidence life evolves,eventhough it is.Darwin came up with his evolution hypothesis based on variation therefore it cannot be used for eviden...

Re: Why is there a conflict between religion and science?

In a litter of wolves,there is always slight variation,some of them will be the runts of the litter,smaller while others will be bigger and they can have different color fur,etc.It is in the genes.This variation is exactly what caused Darwin to assume life evolves,this is why normal variation in re...

Re: Why is there a conflict between religion and science?

It seems like you are trying to read between the lines. Please take my statements at face value. So are you saying when a mutation does occur it does or does not add to the variability? Since there is no evidence mutations add to variability and you only have variation for evidence we must go by th...

Re: Why is there a conflict between religion and science?

Ok let's look at variation more closely. Let's say a wolf pup and it's sibling are very alike. They were just born but they already have slight differences. What accounts for the differences, is it in their DNA? Yes, they've inherited different combinations of genes from their parents. So genes aff...

Re: Why is there a conflict between religion and science?

Ok so if I am understanding correctly you are saying that mutations just add to the variability? No,variability is normal and is not evolution,it cannot be used for evidence.I've already explained why.Reproduction is not evolution. It seems like you are trying to read between the lines. Please take...

Re: Why is there a conflict between religion and science?

If it's not too much to ask, let's not gang up on abelcainsbrother. Thank you :) No, reproduction is not evolution. So abelcainsbrother, what makes Shih Tzu's so small? It is normal variation in reproduction. Look at all of the different races of humans,different sizes,some people are smart,some no...
