Survival of the fittest?

Question

I am a believer of evolution myself. I am wondering why I see so-called atheist on this site so up-tight concerning racial remarks against minorities. I am not saying i am for "racism" but if God doesnt exist, which i dont believe he does," isnt it true then that some races are superior to others in the context of adaptability, intelligence, and a sense of working for the greater good of the colony or community. And and again i have nothing against gay men in particular, but doesnt homosexuality go against the natural order of things?

Hey atheist you might have trouble reading so look again, i am not christian nor am i looking for an excuse to be a biggot. Think before you speak.

Answer 1

Well, in all reality all races are superior to others in some aspects. The thing about survival of the fittest is that it is environment specific. Slow moving lighter skinned people will fare better in environments of extreme cold and slow moving prey than in environments of extreme heat where your survival is dependent on bearing the heat and killing fast moving prey for dinner. In terms of intellect, a groups intellect is the collective effort of all those who came before them in order to adapt to their environment. Here in the U.S. I have one of the higher IQ's, at 152. I won't mention my race, but let's just say that I'm also a collegiate athlete and was always among the most mentally and physically fit while I served in the Army, and I worked out less than half the time everyone else did.

Working for the greater good of the community is a trait indigenous to most cultures that form tribes or clans. It isn't until the populations spread out into larger societies such as towns or cities and larger that resources become limited commodities and people begin to take a 'me and my family first' approach to living.

As for homosexuality, it isn't unnatural, it occurs in just about every copious species on earth, although in limited quantities within those species. Have fun educating yourself. There's plenty of information out there for you to learn more of what you speak about, and you have the tool to do the research right there before your eyes.

"isnt it true then that some races are superior to others in the context of adaptability, intelligence, and a sense of working for the greater good of the colony or community."

Wasn't Hitler trying to prove the same theory with his "master race"?

"And and again i have nothing against gay men in particular, but doesnt homosexuality go against the natural order of things?"

Apparently not, considering that a majority of the species on the planet practice it in one way or another. And just out of curiosity, do you have sex with the thought of procreation EVERY time, or do you have sex because it feels good??? See my point???

Answer 3

Oh, for cryin' out loud! Why do Christians continue to ask these silly questions in the R&S forum rather than reading a science text book?

No, survival of the fitest does not mean some races are superior to others. "The fitest" simply means the one most suited for survival. Different races are a result of the different environments that homo sapiens lived in, not a result of creating a "superior" human. In addition, we are all a part of the same species, so we all have the same basic abilities to survive in a particular environment!

Since homosexuality exist in many species of primate, human homosexuality is not against the "natrual order of things."

Evolution is the concept that ill youngsters (unsuited to their atmosphere) might be much less more likely to have grandchildren. E.g. A sickly or deformed youngster might die earlier than developing up, or have main issue discovering a mate. During a warfare quick guys could make smaller goals than tall ones and shorter youngsters could dominate within the subsequent new release. In this situation an or else well trait reminiscent of tallness turns into a legal responsibility. An illustration of this in nature is the death of the final mammoths. Due to shortages of meals and overabundance of predators mammoths died off at the African mainland however a couple of remained on a small island. Shortage of meals and populace strain then desired smaller mammoths till after many generations they gotten smaller to the scale of guinea pigs. Horses then again went from deer sized to better on normal due to the fact that that larger horses would run quicker from predators. In evolution each and every level should be possible. This is even real of the fireplace farting malicious program. In its case the prior generations had separated cubicles of poisons that could have killed the malicious program had they combined. Any insects born with combined cubicles could have died in early life or earlier to beginning. The malicious program with the extra poisonous/noxious or flammable farts could had been much less appetizing goals for predators. I noticed a movie of a cat stalking a hearth farting malicious program. The cat was once without doubt get rid of his searching.

Answer 5

Some cultures are "superior" in terms of promoting education, personal freedom, etc., and culture obviously has a connection to race, but it is purely a circumstantial one. Individuals of all races are able to excel. Culture is what makes the differences.

A homosexual union clearly cannot produce offspring, but most of the human race is not homosexual, so it's rather inconsequential how some individuals behave in that regard.

Answer 6

You are equating survival with reproduction (lots of folk do) but homosexuals have now found ways - adoption for instance to 'reproduce' isn't that a kind of evolution.
How would you measure a whole races attitude to say intelligence, surely more schools would enable them to 'adapt' then they would be 'fitter' now you just have to decide 'fitter' for what exactly.

Answer 7

Your "theory" is highly flawed. Evolution allows the "strongest" members of EVERY race to reproduced and procreate. In regards to homosexuality, many animal species have homosexual behavior, which would indicate that there is some kind of natural reason for such behavior.

Answer 8

The study of social animals shows that evolution has also put a high premium on altruism as a means of survival. We can certainly see in humans the survival advantage of working together in peace, tolerance and tranquility.

Answer 9

It sounds like you are asking is it ok for me to be Biggot and Homophobic?

NO and NO.

Even if someones beliefs are wrong, then you cannot discriminate against them. Teach them, guide them and explain, but never discriminate.

By the way, my above statement does not go for homosexuals. Don't teach try to convience them you think it is wrong, because it is their choice and does not harm you.

Answer 10

Evolution has produced notions of fairness, and these have survival advantages for the genes which code for them, and that is why we feel that racism and homophobia are wrong.
