...Moths have a tendency to "self-immolate" by flying into fires or burning candles?? I mean, what possible Darwinian adaptation for survival does this meet??
And, what might this tell us about our beliefs in God???

Absolutely nothing. It is a natural phenomenon, many insects are attracted to sources of light. Their destruction in that process is just a by-product.

Ahh, Darwin. Science is only now finding flaws in Darwinism. Consider how many other acceptied theories there have been in the past that are being corrected as new evidence unfolds. Fruedism, do they even teach Sigman's theories anymore.
Darwin may have been right and was at the same time wrong. You see they have discovered that Neanderthal man and modern man existed at the same time on earth. Did both evolve from ape? Did either evolve from ape? They still have not found the missing link. The still have not discovered what happened to Neanderthals. They still do not know what happened to many different cultures that existed in both the new and old worlds. The only truth behind science is that science is unproven. This means that theories are open to change as new evidence is discovered. This is why I do not allow science to effect my belief in God. By the way Moths are attracted to light. Their brain is almost non-existant, threefore they fly into what attracts them and burn as a result. They have probably been doing this since their existance and have not evolved yet, tee hee. Darwin what a theory you have, not unlike a Shakesperean play, to believe or not to believe. That is the question.

The dying part of course doesn't serve any adaptive purpose, but it's quite possible that flying towards light does, for example if it helps moths to find each other.
Evolution does not say that every action has adaptive value.

Sorry, but your question got nothing to do with God. You can't compare people with God or people with moths. So, then you may ask, Why too many people immolate their selves to God only because a retard is telling you so?

Moths like light, they fly to light. It doesn't have anything to do with survival. And as for our beliefs in God, I don't see a connection.

Darwin couldn't have predicted the invention of the light bulb. It just tells us that people are responsible for most of the things that are wrong in this world.

Did I not at some time told you, or showed you that what you belief in is a lie. BTW, moths are insects, they dont think, they dont have a brain like ours, what I'm trying to say is that they are stupid

No, I don't know, and he still doesn't exist.
