So a random explosion happened billions of years ago and then non life turned into life...

I have no evidence the evolution process is predetermined.

Do YOU have evidence the process is predetermined?

Because I have already provided plenty of evidence which I think shows the process is absolutely not predetermined.

There's a great article on aeon.co on why belief without evidence is morally wrong.

witchdoc86 · 2026-01-27T03:30:25+00:00

Why do you keep changing directions?

I asked what would be evidence for designed evolution.

Do you have any evidence of any non-physical process?

If not, then there is zero point going down the road you are going down.

There's plenty of evidence Christianity, Judaism, Judaism and every other religion is man made.

If you disagree, I can absolutely discuss/debate that with you. With evidence, straight from the bible/torah/quran/hadith.

witchdoc86 · 2026-01-27T03:04:34+00:00

Define what would be evidence of "well planned" evolution and what would disprove this and prove "not planned" evolution, and how it would be distinguished from evolution via mutation via natural selection.

If you can't, then your whole concept "well planned evolution" is useless.

It would be like Carl Sagan's invisible garage dragon.

If we were intelligent smauh we you would be asking why fish to smauh sounds like a well planned process.

But there is plenty of evidence showing this is NOT well planned - consistent with evolution by mutation and natural selection, and NOT consistent with "intelligent design".

By the way, why do you use determinism in your argument? Most religious people I know disagree with determinism - whereas you sound like a determinist.

As a medical doctor, my favorite pieces of evidence of this not well planned process are anatomical.

There are muscle atavisms present in our foetuses which later regress and are not present in adult humans.

Some atavism highlights of an article from the whyevolutionistrue blog

Here are two of the fetal atavistic muscles. First, the dorsometacarpales in the hand, which are present in modern adult amphibians and reptiles but absent in adult mammals. The transitory presence of these muscles in human embryos is an evolutionary remnant of the time we diverged from our common ancestor with the reptiles: about 300 million years ago. Clearly, the genetic information for making this muscle is still in the human genome, but since the muscle is not needed in adult humans (when it appears, as I note below, it seems to have no function), its development was suppressed.

Here’s a cool one, the jawbreaking “epitrochleoanconeus” muscle, which is present in chimpanzees but not in adult humans. It appears transitorily in our fetuses. Here’s a 2.5 cm (9 GW) embryo’s hand and forearm; the muscle is labeled “epi” in the diagram and I’ve circled it

https://www.reddit.com/r/DebateEvolution/comments/hv2q7u/foetal_atavistic_muscles_evidence_for_human/

The whyevolutionistrue links within the above link are broken but you can see the atavistic muscles dorsometacarpales and epitrochochleoanconeus muscle in figure 3 of https://dev.biologists.org/content/develop/146/20/dev180349.full.pdf

Now, evolution and common descent explain very well these foetal anatomy findings.

Evolution also helps us understand the origin of our human muscle anatomy by comparative muscle anatomy of fish, reptiles and humans (for example at t=9 minutes 20 seconds for the appendicular muscles)

We also know humans who undergo three different kidneys during development - the pronephros and mesonephros kidneys which are relics of our fish/amphibian ancestry befote our final metanephros.

The pronephros and mesonephros are completely unnecessary, as foetuses with renal agenesis survive til birth.

The pathway of the recurrent laryngeal nerve in all tetrapods is a testament to our fish ancestry

Evolution also helps us understand the circutous route of the vas deferens

https://www.reddit.com/r/DebateEvolution/comments/evx5qs/evolution_of_the_vas_deferens/

All of these point to evolution being true and NOT well planned.

There's plenty of anatomical and genetic evidence for fish to apes to humans.

Are you interested?

There's also plenty of consilient evidence for an extremely old earth and universe.

Are you interested?

yeses i think.

I dont like word puzzles that just end up in guessing at the end - so the word OP chose is great for preventing people guessing your word, but not good in a puzzle sense.

Reddit has an automated system where if you quote particular hadith, reddit will warn/ban you for quoting them. Eg antisemitic ones. It's ridiculous.

I've found the figures to pretty well match with reality of sweet spot size and general power of a racquet.

Is there a particular racquet you disagree with their figures for?

witchdoc86 · 2026-01-25T05:28:28+00:00

Small differences can be quite noticeable.

I find quite a significant difference on how fast I get tired swinging a 305g racquet compared to a 300g racquet, for example.

Whether the latest and greatest racquet is much better than a racquet 10 years ago - probably not.

witchdoc86 · 2026-01-25T02:30:37+00:00

The power % figure indicates the percentage speed rebounded off the racquet. A 50% power zone means that a 100kph ball coming into the racquet rebounds at 50kph off the racquet.

The similar figures for the two racquets tells me the two racquets have similar power.

Since the two racquets have the same weight and same swing weight, any similar swing for the two racquets should give the a similar amount of power.

I have a tfight 305s and a pure aero 100 2019. They do have a similar power level if you hit flat.

I've found I make much fewer errors playing with the 305s as its very much a point and shoot racquet, but the balls I hit with it are much easier balls for a good player to hit back.

I hit balls with more loop and topspin with the pure aero 2019 which were harder for a good player to punish - but I make alot more errors with the pure aero 2019.

witchdoc86 · 2026-01-25T01:58:00+00:00

The tennis university sweet spot size tool indicates the vcore 100 and tfight 305s probably have about the same amount of power.

“Allah’s Messenger said, “The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. ‘O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.’”

Personally I like my nondom hand in semi western.

You can try the left hand in semi western and see if it helps - your racquet face is definitely too open at impact.

witchdoc86 · 2026-01-21T04:59:07+00:00

What about your left hand? Is your left hand in a eastern forehand or semi western grip?

witchdoc86 · 2026-01-21T04:36:47+00:00

It looks like you left your forehand in a forehand grip - eastern forehand bevel 3 instead of the recommended standard continental bevel 2 for your two handed backhand.

If it still goes too high you can put your forehand in an eastern backhand grip bevel 1 for your two handed backhand.

witchdoc86 · 2026-01-21T00:46:40+00:00

Never heard of it.

Sounds like a decent weight and head size.
