New-atheist fags like Sam Harris and that total pseudo-intellectial clown Matt Dilahunty were grifting off this well into the 2010s, because they literally had nothing better to do and it was an easy platform for their egos.

Got to give feminism credit for destroying the New Atheism movement. And it's funny how Sam Harris completely fipped out over Trump and covid and can't return to anything approaching rationality. Being the ice cold rational thinking was his calling card but he went nuts and just can't stop now.

Suppose you spent your entire life thinking that all rectangles were squares. And then you see people talking about rectangles that are not square, and you think, wow, these people are crazy. But actually you don't realise that they're talking about something else than you are.

Now imagine that you actually know this but you still insist they're talking about squares because that makes it easier for you to refute

species transmutative evolution is fake news. And on a side not, nobody has explained abiogenesis, ie why or how the earth went from 0 living matter on earth to greater than zero living mater on earth from one delta t of planck time to the next delta t of plank time.

Point mutations of one allele into another followed by natural selection (i.e., the classical Darwinian model of evolution) obviously can't account for the different karyotypes between species (i.e., distinctive set of chromosomes). So the classical model is incomplete, but to use that to claim that means it doesn't happen is a strawman. A bigger model of evolution would account for how one karyotype changes into another.

The absence of an explanation of abiogenesis does not disprove evolution, and it certainly does not imply creationism. It just means we don't know how life arose.

There's a theory that the flying spaghetti monster was the first life on Earth and all the other lifeforms evolved from it. The absence of an explanation of abiogenesis does not disprove the flying spaghetti monster theory either! What a coincidence!

Science is about how not about who / what / why.

>> No.16066619

if it exists, it happened somehow permitted by the laws of this universe. if it exists it obeyed and still obeys the laws of this universe. there is no race between science and spiritual crowd (invoking god-like entities). no matter how long it takes to figure out how shit (always) happens in this universe, especially if it's some obscurely low mathematical chance, the spiritual crowd can never claim their bullshit. there is no arbitrary limit set on how much time science is allowed to figure it out, once past that point the schizoids are implicitly right. can take to the end of the universe and spiritualfags still have no claim.

There's every reason why science will never figure this out. Because science has zero say here. While soientists often attempt LARPing as philosophers (meanwhile gaslighting everyone because they ostensibly denouce philosophy), these kinds of questions are completely out of reach to science and scientific methodologies. The existence of God is a metaphysical, philosophical, theological question, not a scientific one. As this poster pointed out >>16066618, science has no say in these types of questions. So yes, it is completely off the menu for science.

It should be noted that science properly speaking assumes no metaphysic. This should be obvious because all the pioneers of science were fanatically religious and devout worshippers of God. Many of them were even clergymen! Soience however is called soicence because it assumes materialism, which is a philosophical and metaphysical position, making soience more similiar to a bizzare cult complete with it's own beliefs, practices, and creation story, rather than simply being a methodology for studying the behavior of nature.

one of the funniest things I witnessed in my life was watching the people argue against christians in favor of natural selection, only to turn around 15-20 years later and deny that natural selection applies to humans, or at minimum there is some magical aura that prevents it from applying to our cognitive abilities.

No they aren’t
>What is meant by the fittest?
>"Fitness", then, is only another name for "survival". Darwinism: That survivors survive.
Fitness is the measure of an organism’s ability to propagate its genes, not necessarily individual survival. There is a reason so many have behaviours and anatomy that are detrimental to their survival but beneficial to breeding success
