LOL. Your claim was that somewhere in the line of human decent the intellect capable of producing supernatural beliefs must have evolved. I have called on you to support this assertion; clearly, however, you've no intention of doing that.

It's too bad, really.

Re: Stragglerism

Where do you think the cognitive abilities required to hold such beliefs are derived from Jon?

Jeesh. It's really not my job to support or refute your stupid assertions. If you want people to buy your bullshit, you have to at least show us it doesn't stink. Until then, though, I'm getting out of here; this smell's giving me a headache.

Re: Stragglerism

Are you suggesting that the view that our brains evolved is unsupported by evidence?

No. I'm suggesting that the view that the intellect of our brains evolved is not only unsupported, but down-right silly.

Re: Stragglerism

What do you mean by "intellect"?

Smarts; intelligence; common sense; reasoning; cognition; abstract thinking....

Pretty much the same thing you mean by 'cognitive abilities', only without the presuppositional baggage that all humans are so endowed.

Re: Stragglerism

So the ability for these things didn't evolve as far as you are concerned.

What is your evidence that it did?
