Why do people find it so hard believe in the possibility that evolution and God coexist?

I don't see where I said there was no god?
And the thread I made merely provided evidence for evolution. Much like the threads with quotes from the bible back up whatever they are supposed to say.

That's a rather broad statement.  I locked your thread not only because it dealt with evolution but primarily the way in which it was going to be discussed.  As moderators we give great weight to the initial post in a thread.  Your thread was strictly science.

Don't get your knickers in a twist we are probably going to open a science forum soo and you can post about evolution to your heart's content. :smile:

Actually- I vote 'NO, unless...'

I think S&P can handle it... a Science forum is unnecessary. The problem arises when Science conflicts with Fantasy. It's funny that philosophy can handle science, but you can't get a Ph.D. in Alien Studies. Whatever... I'm just that asshole skeptic, right???

I can't believe that an evolution thread can't be put in the S&P forum. As we all know, most philosophy arises out of questions that science brings and most science arises out of philosophical questions. It is a beautiful relationship that can't be divided.

I agree if we are just discussing the definition of evolution or other science then that isn't necessarily appropriate. Evolution is a very philosophical subject indeed.

Being a mod. doesn't make your opinion fact. If a discussion arises that hasn't been previously discussed in some university textbook, that doesn't make it non-philosophical. There are many ideas and opinions. If the question even needs to be asked "is this philosophical" then it belongs in this forum. Only the painfully obvious non-philosophical threads should be moved or locked.

Actually, enzymes can be a very philosophical topic. Especially when you get into protein folding. I'm sure it is dreadfully boring to most but I find it fascinating.

Again, if we are just giving science lessons then I agree that it shouldn't be in S&P. Otherwise.....let's talk!!!

Sir Tripsalot seems to be hellbent on causing division and controversy in S&P. A debate can be healthy and promote thinking or it can be instigated merely to cause fighting among the members. The former is great for a forum, the latter is not. This is just common sense.

There are dividing lines and implicit rules for posting in S&P whether anyone is aware of them or not.

Rule number one is that the subject must have a direct link to either spirituality or philosophy and that link must be evident in the title and/or the initial post in the thread.

Pure science is not to be discussed here anymore than politics or mushroom cultivation. These lines of demarcation are not arbitrary and they are in place for a reason. This is common sense. Those that are anarchist or anti-authority will see any restriction on their posting as unfair, unreasoned, mean, or anything else negative that they can think of but that certainly does not mean it is so.

The topic of evolution can easily be discussed here if a person follows some reasonable guidelines. Here are just a few examples:

Title: Evolution creates a problem for philosophy

"I just wanted to point out that evolution is a fact and that it changes the metaphysics portion of philosophy because it shows that man evolved from a bunch of chemicals. That means he cannot have freewill and that consciousness is nothing but an electro-chemical reaction in our brains."

Title: Teleology should be included in science.

"Currently in science teleology is excluded because it shows that there are reasons for the existence of things and that the reason can be shown to have spiritual links."

Bad example; Title: Dinosaur fossils prove evolution to be true.

"The recent discovery of certain fossils prove beyond any doubt that evolution is a fact and anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong."

Imagine a loud buzzer going off when the last thread is started in S&P.

Wrong!

Currently we do not have a place to discuss evolution other than the Chill Out forum or OTD. They are "catchall" forums to discuss whatever dosn't fit anywhere else. And sorry to say, evolution, when discussed from a scientific viewpoint does not belong here.

In fact, this thread, the second one Sir Tripsalot started lately, is not about spirituality or philosophy either. It rightfully belongs in the suggestion forum.

Have a subject that is either directly philosophical or spiritual? Post it in this forum. Not? Find somewhere else to post it.

Cheers,

Hmmm....

I see your point... but you should take into consideration the audience he wishes to address.

Maybe he thinks he'll get better responses here.

I think that evolution threads should be allowed in here, I am a highly spiritual being but I believe in the concept of evolution. I don't believe any of this is as black and white as creationism vs. evolution.

I have a theory that the conciousness willed change and change always has and always will continue to occur because its the will of our One Conciousness.... its a little more complex i suppose but thats the jist.

anyhoo, my point is that evolution can be a spiritual concept therefore such topic should not be banned from this area.

I think it would be very cool to have a Science and technology forum, but there shouldn't be such restriction on what we may post here.

i feel the same way when art and poetry randomly shows up in here, but really there is no reason this audience can't spread themselves through-out the other forums... and it would be cool to see some of you in off topic making people actually think about what they are saying :wink:  (all in the name of fun and good spirits of course)

You let people discuss bible quotes proving that god exists to me and other athiest in here but NOO people who don't believe in evolution get protected from evidence of our beliefs. By closing my thread you have also claimed that evolution is no longer a theory and now fact, some in here may find that offensive.
I've talked with Mods in here and an admin and both agree it shouldnt have been locked.

Oh I think he was shooting for a target audience all right. But he sorely missed it.

He has the misconception that evolution is a religious issue. People who believe in evolution, and that is what they are, i.e. believers, are always trying to couch the issue and make it a religious debate. It isn't.

I have explained why evolution can be discussed provided it is discussed within the framework set up here. I will not repeat myself on this issue again and I will move all threads that step outside that framework. Of course I think he knew that and was testing boundaries.

Don't get me wrong. I love to discuss evolution from all sides and I am not interfering with anyone's right to post about as long as they do so in the right way.

Here are a few books that I keep on the shelves near the computer for reference. I have about 200 in all and these are the ones related to evolution:

I have read them all and studied this "theory" for over 30 years.

So, I think I might have a little idea about where a thread on evolution should go.

Thank you.

That is all.

Gosh, it sounds an awful lot like the issue isn't about evolution at all but how far you can push your ideas.

I really don't care who you have talked to.

Don't push this too far Trips. 

If you've come to me for a fight you will end up on the losing end of the stick.

I guarantee it.  :mad:

Damn, I missed it thanks to Mr_Mushroom's editing. Can't we all just get along?


--------------------
To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.'  Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence.  Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains.  Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.
