Evolution Logic

An operating system is not any kind of language at all.

However, the operating system commands are not actually operating system commands. They are shell commands. The shell (the user interface program) interprets the commands.If Rob had said that the shell command language is a language, I would not have objected.Yes, I know, nobody knows what an operating system is any more.Now back to your regularly scheduled topic

Okay. So you go to a lawyer when you want a scientific definition. May I presume that you consult your dentist when you are looking for legal advice?

We learned it from our parents and our peers. There are many cultures where no clothing is worn. From religion.

You are likely correct. I should have said that it comes from cultural traditions.

We evolved as a social species. That is, we are a species that depends on cooperation with other members of our group (or culture or tribe). Our moral judgement amounts to the practices that our culture follows to facilitate cooperation. Presumably these practices were developed through experience.If you read some of the literature from anthropological studies, you will find that moral practices vary from culture to culture.On embarrassment, arachnophilia corrected me. The origin is hard to track down. Religions have spread the idea of embarrassment. There are other cultures where people do not feel embarrassed to be naked. The "National Geographic" magazine sometimes prints studies of these cultures, including photos of people in their nakedness. That's what crashfrog was referring to in Message 280. I'm not sure what coincidence you are seeing there. Religions developed within a culture. Many of the religious traditions came from the cultures in the regions where those religions developed. That the earth was round was well known in the middle east cultures.You should also be aware that many Christian theologians take parts of the old testament that meant something else, and reinterpret them to fit modern knowledge. That's not coincidence, it is quote mining.

Sorry to say, but you have been paying attenting to intellectual scam artists. These intellectual scammers have befuddled you with their sophisticated-sounding arguments.In order to say that information has been lost, you would need a way of quantifing the amount of information. But look at what Spetner does when asked about the amount of information. He weaves and dodges, so as to pretend that he is answering, but he completely evades the question.You mention a DVD as your source. Your link doesn't seem to take me to the DVD, but it does lead to the AnswersInGenesis site. You mention Michael Denton. I seriously doubt that Denton is actually supporting these sleight-of-hand arguments about information. But I'm not about to watch a long video to find out. If you can find a transcript of what Denton said, that would be appreciated.

Sad to say, but that referenced web page contains an awful lot of nonsense.

And it is all off topic here! Do not respond, please.
