Ah. Glad to have been of service.

One more thing: What the fucking hell are you blathering about?

Doubting Didymus

I think your figments are quite large enough to stand without augmentation.

Thanks doubting dickhead. But, let's see, what am I blathering about? At this point I do not have the slightest....HOWEVER, I would like for everyone to look at this website and I need some feed back, and per vatim qid pro quo so forth so fucking forth.
What I am getting at is, here is a website I've found and examined, I need your feed back.

Well, the factual information it presents seems okay, but it hasn't really got its head around the concept. The idea that archaic homo sapiens was the 'culmination' of the evolution of man, and has gone 'downhill' since then is a bit silly. Evolution has no goals, does not 'progress' towards perfect humans, and natural selection ensures a maximum fitness in a given environmental context, and thus prevents 'regression' (Note that features can atrophy, or even'break', like our vitamin C synthesis has, but this usually only occurs where the feature is no longer needed and natural selection can not preserve it).

That is the first thing that I took issue with, but the page is far too long to do a point by point analysis. Why don't you point out what parts you particularly liked or disagreed with. Alternatively you could ignore that site completely, and take its advice to look up talkorigins.org, which is a much much better site.

Also, I have not ovelooked or ignored your insults, and would like to add that you are a fatuous little fuck with pseudo intellectual yearnings, and should first learn to speak english and then fuck off.

the "how evolution works" section is fairly error ridden

-------------------------------------------------

Anywho. One of Darwin's theories of evolution is that as life grows stronger it get's better. Yet we look in the news, the world so forth, and we doubt what he proclaimed. Yet as life goes on, we grow old, grow defunt, die, whatever! Now does that mean life has gotten worse? How do we know that someday their may be no humans and just robots? Does that mean life has gotten worse or better, and what would we care, we'd be dead?
Evoultion may have never even occured, nor may have creation. But what is evident is what happens now, which we have no control over. This is psychology of what exist and is present. The theories of evolution and creation are ideas, and none are proven, nor are they discredited.
So the question is whether or not time is a the essence of what exist? and what exist is the property of time?

hmmmm....???

How about you come back when you grow up?

Doubting Didymus

That is the stupidest thing that I have ever heard. Clearly, you are in desperate need of education. Why don't you try again when you finish primary schooling?
