In all honesty, I think this is an example of over-scrutinizing the creationist. I think you're missing my point. The term occurs in the title but not in the OP itself. The post begins "I used to think this was possible", apparently treating the title as a question he is asking himself but not discussing the terms of the question in any way. Then he proceeds to suppose, and wonder, and generally compose the sort of jibber jabber moderators are here to prevent. A good Opening Post has its terms defined and its position clear already, it doesn't meander its way down to

Just make sure that the point you are raising hasn't already being raised. and then spend the first couple of pages having its terms and position hammered out for it by people who are trying to debate it if they can just get what it is cleared up first. But no, it's not the most important point, just the first one that comes to mind, because it's a disconnect between the title and the post itself.

Anyone had a look at Message 1 in New theory about evolution between creationism and evolution.?
If so, I have two questions: 1) What on earth does this mean?
"But if we look carefully, we will see that exactly these functions are they who very clearly relate with some of basic mechanisms and faces of evolution." 2) Does anyone else think that zi ko is describing individuals evolving? Even if you don't want to discuss it, the topic proposal is...an interesting read.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

I read it again (after it was reformatted). I think he might really be talking about learning rather than about evolution... S/he appears to be saying that our environment forces are neural system to make our bodies evolve.We 'learn' to make changes to our DNA (I think). zi ko writes:
These changes are then passed to the next generation by empathy. These changes are then transmitted between generations by empathy.How all these informational staff ... could be transferred to next generations, so to be able to gear evolutionary process? a) Through heredity? It is not logical, except if we accept that neural tissue has its own way to inherit its life experiences. b) Through behavioral teaching? It is not convincingly possible. After all teaching may involve only technical information, not emotions. Maybe we should need to resort to EMPATHY. Its presence is well established even in low scale living beings, and particularly between mother and offspring. That is not exactly a satisfactory description of how genetic diseases are passed to our children. Or maybe it is only 'good things' that are passed on by empathy. Who knows.

this problem i had discussed it with myself. maybe trees have some way of internal and external communication!
it is true. in my theory learnig and evolution are entirly intermingled.learning is a prodromal function which leads lately to evolution' without leaning we can't have evolution.and we should'nt forget, both are taking place inside neural system

question 1:feeling and knowing of enviromental ghanges is the first part of the long act of evolution.these are exactly one of main function of neural system.
2: i realised the danger of restricting my theory to individual evolving. that is why i resorted to empathy. empathy has nothing to do with genetic diseases. by empathy only emotional experiences are transmitted and mainly those who help survival and as a general feeling. i am much obliged and thankfull for your comments.

If zi ko wants to elaborate on the Proposed New Topic content, s/he should do such at New theory about evolution between creationism and evolution.
It's kind of looking like that PNT is going to need promoting, even if it's not up to standards. I'm not yet going to do such, but we shall see what happens. Or something like that. Adminnemooseus

I wouldn't myself promote his recently posted revision, except maybe Free For All, but I don't have any problem if someone else does, maybe after working with him a bit more.
My concern is that he may be unable to articulate any position that can be clearly understood, that criticisms of his position will never turn out to be about his actual position but just a claimed misunderstanding of it, and so the position will be reexplained and a cycle of criticism/claimed-misunderstanding/reexplanation begun again.

education is a conscious function. empathic inheritance is mainly unconscious.

And what effect do these empathetically transmitted emotions have on the progeny plants have a different life style from animals.so their way of communication is different. different of course are their emotions as well. we can not be sure that they don't exist. empathetically transmitted emotional ejperiences are ebout the same by what Carl Young had suggeste by collective subconscious and archetypes inherited to next generations. they form, with others, the basis for the oncoming evolutional changes. Currently, it simply sounds like you are describing a parent educating its child about the world. learninig has many facets. this is a one.empathic learning is deeper, more lasting and drastic as refers to evolution. it is what is connecting old and new species generations. What is the difference between empathic inheritance and education?

RAZD has proposed a topic that appears to address the question of the existence of gods. His position seems to be that neither the existence nor nonexistence can be supported by evidence, so the only logical position is that of agnosticism. Petrophysics1 has apparently indicated an interest in participating to defend the position that at least one god exists. I would be interested in participating to challenge both positions and in support of the proposition that gods do not exist.
I have not read any of RAZD's previous discussions on this subject in any detail, so I would ask that this discussion begin at step one. I have no problem with anyone copying anything from previous discussions, but would strongly prefer that nobody simply link to previous discussions and ask that I read them. I'd like this debate to stand alone. I recognize that a three person Great Debate is out of the norm, but there appear to be three distinct positions outlined in RAZD's O.P., so it would seem appropriate to have three participants. If either RAZD or Petrophysics1 prefer it to be a 1 on 1 debate, I will retract my request.

Hi subbie,
First let me say I have enjoyed reading your posts over the last almost 5 years and consider you to be intelligent and thoughtful. I do not post here very often, but that is because I can read very fast but I can not type. So I have read everything of RAZD's and the atheist's discussions over the last year or more. For me to comment requires me to use my two index fingers while looking at the keyboard and then check the screen to make sure it is correct. That takes time, which sometimes I do not have a lot of. RAZD is a prolific writer, I had to think long and hard about going into a debate with him. I decided to do it and would spend the time typing. I do not think I could handle two people. Subbie if you and RAZD came to my house and sat down over a couple of beers I'd kick your ass and his too, or at least have you both leave thinking "maybe my position isn't completely correct". Beers over my dining room table is not the format here, so I'd prefer to do this with just RAZD. Thanks for your interest and good post. Petrophysics Edited by petrophysics1, : typo, God what a surprise!
