Hi Huntard,
Bertot pointed me to a debate between two people about "the existence of god".
This seems like a philosophical question, not a question that would involve evolution.
Of the following statements, which one is true or false?
A woman was on earth before any human baby.
The ultimate problem with this question is, Where do you draw the line between homo-sapiens and others in homo-genus?
The problem with the rest of these question is, Does
human refer to
only homo-sapiens or does it include the entire homo-genus?
This would have to be established before anyone could give the correct answer.
The other issue I see is the use of the word
ape. As I understand it we are bi-pedal apes. So to the questions...
quote:
Of the following statements, which one is true or false?
At least one human being now living on Earth formerly was an ape or some other non human being, and that ape was transformed into a human being.
At least one human being that lived in the past but who is now dead was at one time an ape or some other non human being, and that ape was transformed into that human being.
Of the following statements, which one is true or false?
At least one human being now living on earth was begotten of a male ape, or some other non human male, and born of a female ape or some other non human female.
At least one human being who lived in the past but is now dead was begotten of a male ape, or some other non human male, and born of a female ape or some other non human female.
I would say
true, it happens everyday. Bi-pedal apes are born everyday, we call each other humans, but we're still apes.
My opinion of this line of questioning is that it's complete bullshit. The original question about God is philosophical and has nothing to do with evolution. Even if evolution was completely wrong, which it's not, there's still no evidence for God. So, disproving evolution does NOT prove God by default. It seems like the typical creationist misunderstanding of evolution and of what the theory shows us. It does not prove or disprove God. It is a science related topic not a philosophical one. Questions about God however, are ONLY philosophical and lend no weight to the validity of evolution.
