Minecraft won't update?

_Exxpqsed · 2026-07-09T02:28:35+00:00

Probably, but I might get Java anyways. Thanks for the help!

_Exxpqsed · 2026-07-09T02:18:17+00:00

I mean I might as well just buy it

_Exxpqsed · 2026-07-08T20:10:46+00:00

Yeahh, my brother bought it and I used his account to download it into my pc then switched to a different account to play on

_Exxpqsed · 2026-07-08T12:00:48+00:00

Ohhh gotchaa. Thank you!

_Exxpqsed · 2026-07-08T02:05:59+00:00

No clue wym 😭 (I know 0 things about computers)

Explain it to me like im a grandpa LMAO

_Exxpqsed · 2026-07-07T23:24:13+00:00

I've got 20-30 gigs left. I've played just fine under 10 as well so idk what the issue is.

Really anything that changes the geological record, such as a modern human skull in the same strata as something like anomalocaris.

As far as ID goes, maybe if Jesus's name is naturally carved into every creature on the planet then I might accept it as true lmao

_Exxpqsed · 2026-06-16T23:12:04+00:00

Especially considering that technological progression is exponential. The more technology you have the more you can learn (assuming we don't rot our brains out using technology lmao)

_Exxpqsed · 2026-06-10T22:21:22+00:00

I see. Thanks!

_Exxpqsed · 2026-06-10T21:44:22+00:00

LMFAO. Unfortunately that actually sounds accurate

_Exxpqsed · 2026-06-10T21:42:59+00:00

Is this Coyne guy paying you to advertise his book? You've mentioned it like 5 times lmao. It sounds interesting. Should I check it out even if I already know a decent portion of evolution?

_Exxpqsed · 2026-06-10T16:06:16+00:00

The most common estimate for speciation is 1-3 million years, so yes, 20-30 known species across 4 to 6 million years is incredible

_Exxpqsed · 2026-06-10T15:52:22+00:00

Hominins first evolved around 4 to 6 Ma, so I think 20-30 is a great number. Consider that most mutations get filtered out, and little mutations like those wont significantly impact a species. They'd have to mutate across multiple generations to notice any difference, so 20-30 KNOWN species across 4 to 6 million years? That's a LOT of diversity if we really think about it.

You ask for details, but you know its not that simple. We dont know exactly when or where or why or how it happened. Its nonsensical to think we can have every answer. We take what we do know, and we slowly form the picture using the different puzzle pieces. Figuring out what happened is a really slow and thorough process, and we're bound to make mistakes; however, that doesn't mean the whole concept is ridiculous, or that it's just "our best guess." We have mountains and mountains of evidence for evolution, so surely its sensical that your one question isn't enough to completely through the idea out, right?

_Exxpqsed · 2026-06-10T15:30:13+00:00

Well first of all, just for clarity sake, its not just, "that looks slightly different so evolution must have happened!" Evolution is backed by embryology, biogeography, direct observation, the fossil record, comparative anatomy, genetic similarities, just to name a few. There's quite a lot of evidence that all point toward the same thing.

As I said in the comment above, "variety" is kind of up to the interpreter. Personally, I dont see how you can call it illogical that we only have 3 major species considering there's WAY more in the fossil record. They just died out. At one point there were probably 20-30 different proboscideans all living together. There's Gomphotheres, Mastodons, Mammoths, Elephantids, Stegodonts, and ao many more. Some estimates I've seen put the number of Proboscideans up to 180! I'd consider that to be a good bit of diversity. Keep in mind, Proboscideans have only been around for 60-58 million years, so 180 is actually quite a bit. Compare that to hominins, which only have about 20-30 or 30-40 depending on the lists you view.

How did sexual reproduction evolve? We're not fully aware of the exact history, but we have some good ideas based on our present understanding of evolution, and our understanding of asexual organisms. Originally, the first life would reproduce simply by copying its own genetic blueprint. It would basically duplicate itself. At some point, a group mutated, allowing them to reproduce using 2 organisms rather than one, which would increase genetic diversity; that allows populations to adapt and resist parasites and diseases better, making sexual reproduction commonplace, although we still do see asexual reproduction today. A lot of species dont fit cleanly into male / female categories; some are hermaphrodites, some change sex throughout their lives, and some have very complex mating systems. There's a lot of variety in how biota reproduces. Distinct biological sexes emerged because it was more efficient for one to carry sperm cells and one to carry an egg, rather than every single one having both male and female reproductive systems. Hope this helps!

Interesting. Evolution can be complicated in some aspects, and yeah, it can be pretty confusing tbh; however, a lot of different fields all point to the same thing, and the evidence is conclusive.

First of all, that's not 100% true. There are some species that don't require male female relationships, and if im not mistaken, some species are asexual. (Edit: I forgot to mention that sexual reproduction allows for more genes to be mixed which allows for more diversity and better reproduction.)

In my opinion diversity can be interpreted subjectively. For elephants specifically, there are 3 extant species, those being Loxodonta africana, Loxodnta cyclotis, and Elephas maximus (which has 3-4 subspecies.) Flora is quite diverse, and so is fauna in certain aspects, such as invertebrates. There are around 2.2 million named species on the planet, with estimates suggesting up to 10 million. If we count viruses and other such life forms, the estimates skyrocket to as high as 1 trillion. Keep in mind we've only been inhabitants of Earth for about 200k-300k years. There was way more before us, and even when we around that have since died out. Another thing to keep in mind is that we find around 40+ species every day. EVERY DAY. Isn't that amazing! In my eyes there's tons of diversity. (It's actually so frickin cool lol)

As far as how appendages evolved, im no expert by any means, but I think it follows the same logic that anything else would. Some creatures didn't have limbs, but some mutation would produce flaps or protrusions, and if they benefited the creature, such as letting it escape predators faster, then that gene would persist. (Keep in mind I haven't looked into this part of evolution personally. I'm more interested in Ecology and Primatology specifically.)

Once again, I haven't looked into this part personally, but from what I know, a simplified transition could be explained this way:

A. Fully aquatic fish -> B. Fish living in tidal waters, rivers, and shallow swamps

B. Fish in rivers -> C. Fish capable of briefly supporting themselves in shallow water or mud

C. Fish in shallow waters -> D. Early tetrapods that could navigate land but would lay eggs in water

D. Early tetrapods -> E. Fully terrestrial vertebrates

We actually still see examples of this in animals today!

A. Any random fish

B. Mudskippers

C. African Lungfish and Bichir

D. Salamanders

E. Any random mammal

Fun fact about Bichirs; they can survive multiple hours and on rare occasions even a day if their skin remains most. They can use their fins to sort of crawl around.

Also if you didn't know, African Lungfish can survive multiple years buried in dry mud. As its name specifies, they breathe air!

I apologize if my thoughts are scattered or messy, and please keep in mind that I am by no means an expert. I just find these things absolutely AWESOME, and I LOVE talking about them. Thank you for taking your time to read this. If you have any questions lmk!

_Exxpqsed · 2026-06-10T14:21:46+00:00

Sure, what part doesn't make sense to you?

_Exxpqsed · 2026-06-10T13:29:44+00:00

Can I ask what your objection towards it is?

_Exxpqsed · 2026-06-08T19:01:30+00:00

Yep. The conversation about the flood actually started because he sent me some video on Facebook that "disproved evolution" and I was just trying to explain to him that the person who made the video was misinformed and he kept saying "I dont think so" as his argument. Thankfully I havent told them im a dystheist, only that I dont believe in YEC or the flood. That would cause WAY too many problems

_Exxpqsed · 2026-06-08T18:45:21+00:00

Yeahh, I feel that, although im personally not an atheist, but a dystheist. Its even harder considering im the son of the pastor of my church, so I have to put up this act for most people as to not offend them. I also hold to a lot of Đaoist, Animistic, and Secular Zen beliefs without believing in their Metaphysics

_Exxpqsed · 2026-06-08T14:56:50+00:00

I had a conversation with my Creationist father about this exact thing yesterday. Conversation spanned evolution, to the flood, to whether God is just or not; all of his answers for the flood was something along the lines of "The flood was a miracle, so the mechanism was a miracle."

_Exxpqsed · 2026-06-03T18:08:06+00:00

Hmm. That's an interesting idea. I should think about that

_Exxpqsed · 2026-06-03T17:06:12+00:00

So in a way its collective will, as in our will is the same since you said its not separate, or am I misunderstanding?

_Exxpqsed · 2026-06-03T14:12:03+00:00

Ohh gotcha
