I have to question the intelligence of an evolutionist?

Question

after reading a question, that says they are joking and to lighten up, a good majority of the responses were still sour. im beginning to think you guys have no sense of humor and are a bit more dense then u claim you are.

for people who claim their intelligence, you sure dont seem to read details very much.

Answer 1

i thought the question was brill ... i dont know why people didnt find it funny

Answer 2

Concerning the debate going on about intelligent design and evolution: is it possible that the final answer about which of these two seemingly opposite ideas is correct could simply be yes?

With one position firmly held by the believers and the other just as fearlessly defended by the non-believers, if you happen to be in a position somewhere near the middle, it does not look all that complex. From this position, you wonder why either-or has to be the answer.

If you believe that some higher being created the universe by intelligent design, what more elegant and intelligent design could there have been than a self-regulating system that continually checks its own errors and makes its own corrections in mid-stream as an integral part of the process.

This all seems quite logical to me although it probably won’t satisfy the believers because they are afraid to see any truth other than the one they have been told to believe in. Inversely it certainly won’t satisfy the non-believers because it leaves them stuck with a god that they are so obviously terrified of.

To sum up this view from the center, it might be most easily be explained by saying perhaps the designer was intelligent. Problem is, the designer was likely so intelligent that those seeking to prove that it is intelligently designed may be incapable of ever understand it well enough to see it for the elegant self regulating design that it has always been.

The nonbelievers will be similarly handicapped due to the internal terror the have about the idea that there may be a God. Neither side being able to leave their entrenched position for fear they may have to admit they were wrong. While the rest of us stand by trying to figure out what all the fuss is about. Personally I don’t think anyone is wrong, I just feel both sides are about half right.

Lol, you made me search for that question now, but I found it.

Somehow I agree with you here, it's sad that people are constantly so wound up. The basic assumption here in this section is that every question is meant to offend. That assumption also ruins the whole purpose of this section, btw.

But you're right, the girl deserves a few smiles, even if I didn't found the joke to be all that funny. It was pretty obvious she didn't mean to offend.

Answer 4

People generally find what they look for. If you look for postings by "evolutionists" that support your opinion of them, that's what you'll find.

Try reading things that you disagree with. Things that call your assumptions into question.

Answer 5

well i'm agnostic and the one thing i find to be true in this forum is that everybody is sensitive and defensive about their particular set of beliefs but could care less about anybody else's set of beliefs being called out i guess it's what's called a double standard

Answer 6

unfortunately for those of us who do have a sense of humor (about half of us), the other half are alot louder and give us a bad name. now a lot of us, do tend to be very unintellegent, but they probably are the ones who voted for kerry and gore.

Answer 7

Are you saying that it takes intelligence to ignore scientific proof? Is it intelligent to use a book to prove itself?

Answer 8

hhhmmm sounds like you have no humor and dense and very sour!

Answer 9

Of course we don't, what you call a joke, is you laughing at out "Low" intellegnce, would you laugh if I called you stupid?? Grow up!

Answer 10

It's that you're not funny.
