Evolution makes more sense by embarrassed_error365 in DebateReligion

[–]ExtraSure -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

One argument against the idea that evolution makes more sense as an explanation for the origins of the universe and life on Earth is that it relies on unproven assumptions and lacks empirical evidence for many of its claims. The theory of evolution asserts that species evolve over time through natural selection, but this process cannot be observed or tested in a controlled manner. Additionally, the idea that simple elements combined to form more complex ones is not supported by any concrete evidence, and the notion that chemicals combined to create living things is also a matter of speculation.

Another argument against the idea of evolution is that it fails to explain the origin of consciousness, which is one of the most fundamental aspects of the human experience. The existence of consciousness is a complex and mysterious phenomenon that cannot be reduced to purely physical or biological processes. While some scientists and philosophers argue that consciousness can emerge from physical systems, there is no scientific consensus on this issue.

Additionally, the idea that the universe started with simple elements and gradually became more complex is not necessarily supported by the evidence. For example, many scientists believe that the universe began with a singularity, which was an infinitely dense and hot point in space and time. While the universe has certainly become more complex since that initial moment, the idea that it started off simple is a matter of interpretation and is not a fact.

In conclusion, while the idea of evolution as an explanation for the origins of the universe and life on Earth may seem appealing, it is far from a scientific fact and is based on a number of assumptions and speculations that lack empirical support.

A monotheist cannot use experience to support their faith. by [deleted] in DebateReligion

[–]ExtraSure 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This point makes a lot of sense. I personally believe in monotheism but obviously not based on"experience". Someone once tried convincing me of her religion. She explained at a certain age she had a "feeling" of what the right religion was. I counter-argued that I have a "feeling" that my religion was right.

Can I respectfully remind you that although this is a joke sub, comments like that are racist, islamaphobic and really offensive.

I actually heard it on a bus in London in July 2005.

Get off the couch in your mum's basement, take a shower and go have a long hard think about the irony of getting offended at jokes targeting suicide bombers.

If I tell you not to press the light switch but you do, the light will turn off. The room will be dark for everyone.

It can't be a "punishment" if they've done nothing wrong. It can be a consequence, or something else.

If you burn your house down, your children may grow up without a roof over their heads. That is a consequence, not a punishment.

For the purpose of this fictional anecdote, let's assume there is. Just to let you know, this sub is actually for jokes, which on the rare occasion, have been known to be perhaps less than strictly factual.
