This is a fascinating documentary on epigenetics , a new field of science which is discovering that your life may be significantly effected by the experiences and environment of your grandparents. It may provide a scientific explanation for things that we empirically see in human behavior and health...

First, I apologize if this has been discussed earlier. If so, I didn't find it. Considering morality, I constantly think of WHY something is moral and something else is not. There has to be a reason for this. Even if violence is evil, WHY is it evil? I think that morality and moral rules are the...

I would say that successful brain development happens much younger than 25. I'm sure there are some biological signs that show continued development until 25, but prehistoric man had a life expectency younger, sometimes much younger, than 25. How would that have been selected for? Not many lasted...

I think that there is an excellent response to the "television argument," which is that the theory of evolution is the only known the process which can produce highly complex entities, states or organisms. Since God is the most highly complex entity, an entity that complex can only result from...

I really appreciate everyone on the last thread and I thanks for pointing out I should not have called it religious. Here's what I got out of it. Evolution claims different lifeforms came to be by a "process" of change in their DNA. If anyone looks around they see different lifeforms. And...

Does noticeable depression aid in survival? Hmmm.... Thomson based his approach on the idea that depression is not simply a disease to be eliminated, but a way of eliciting support from family and friends. It's a concept derived from evolutionary psychology, a burgeoning field that is starting to...

Nielsio : Bill, you did not answer my main question. I must have missed something Nielsio , was this your main question? Nielsio : If this is the case, what are your scientific theories to describe speciation and the ever-changing lifeforms around us? If I had my own scientific theories I'd share...

Tuttle, you're funny. You tell me you want factual refutation of evolution, yet when I also ask for facts, you dismiss me to a book. If you would not accept "go read a book" as my presentation of fact, then why would I accept yours? There are many other threads that present scientific for...

The definition evolutionist work with is using a religious style definition of a tautology. When I ask someone to define what evolution is they define the principles of genetic mutation, survival of fittest, etc. When I get deeper into the explanation of how the principles explain reality, the variation...

Basically yes. It is clear parts of evolutionary theory are truth. Dogs and the darkening of moths are perfect examples of species development. It is easy enough to discredit creationists claim on their own merits than to automatically assume evolution answers everything and bring those topics to the...
