    I just find it improbable that life could emerge on its own without some sort of divine push to get things started…what is your take on this ?kindred

    Well, the question seems to be whether matter and spacetime are fundamental, or are they emergent from some other source (of information). The short answer is, of course, we do not know.

    Some would say that information is more basic than matter, but that leads to the question - "Information about what?"

    It's just difficult for me to imagine that anything exists outside of spacetime and matter. To answer that it is something "divine" just seems to me an imaginary answer to an unanswerable question.

    Your posts contain spelling mistakes on the basic simple English words too, which gives impression you are not in clear mind when typing posts.Corvus

    Are you not quite aware of typos? This is an absolutely ridiculous ad hominem.

    Hope it helped.Corvus

    As noted i the quote you've used, no, it did not :) Status quo remains...Evolution is occurring.

    I was only pointing out your ability of understanding English and bad spelling at times, which seems to be the cause for your misunderstanding, because you asked silly questions. It was not ad hominem at all.

    "i the quote you've used"? It doesn't make sense grammatically. There is no sign of evolution anywhere. :)

    I've provided you with ample evidence of evolution. If you chosen path is to talk about grammar, in the face of my pointing out that typos exist, I can only assume you are attempting to remain ad hominem.

    Not to worry.

    Your examples don't prove human evolution conclusively. Not sure where you shoveled across the examples from, but those are just features which could be different from individuals to individuals. Some folks are more tolerant than others, and some folks have different sizes just like everyone has different heights and weights for their bodies. Not concrete evidence for evolution.

    It is not a good practice to claim ad hominem when your weakness has been exposed by your own doings. I would have never mentioned your grammar and spelling, if you didn't attack the simile statements as if they were the central part of the argument.
