I was referencing the argument being a fact based on the pre-cursor that the plausibility was understood to be just that friend. The fact I presented is a fact encompassed within the argument being presented as a possible occurrence. It would be redundant otherwise to label all subsequent instances as a possibility when the premise is logically presented as that from it's inception.

This is, at best, circular reasoning beneath the attempted level of the conversation, I can't proceed any further.

I don't agree with all that he says (he trivializes causality in his argument against it, all while proving it) but i just enjoy this relevant talk in general

Charles Darwin revealed how evolution works, but not what it really means.Evolution is no longer just a theory; it has been proven true beyond a reasonable doubt. The problem is, even people who accept evolution is true disassociate themselves from the process. They somehow skipped all the lower forms of animal life and just started out at the top of the evolutionary ladder.

The evidence says we evolved as life evolved.

Human beings did not just appear at the top of the evolutionary ladder to reap the benefits of those millions of years of evolution without having to live through it.

In other words, you were those other animals. Someone had to be them.

You had to be lower animals to be a human now. You lived as all the different animals in your evolutionary line. You lived through millions of years, and millions of lives and deaths to get to where you are now. That's what Darwin's book means.

In addition to the fossil evidence, the genetic code proves that all animals, including us, evolved from bacteria over the last 700 million years on earth.

In other words, you were a microbe, an insect, a fish, a dinosaur, an ape...

When all of the evidence (100%) says something happened, and there is noevidence (zero) that anything else could have happened, it is the truth beyond a reasonable doubt to honest, rational people.

We have come a very, very long way, but we have a little further to go. The next and last step in our evolution is learning and accepting the truth of life, and this includes acknowledging our true past.

:lupe:


Many people think human beings are the only animal that is conscious. Is a dog or cat conscious? Where do you draw the line? Is a bird conscious? The truth is, all animal life is conscious and alive just like us.1 The only thing that makes humans different from other animals is that we have a mind that can think and reason at a high enough level to know the truth of life, and those that know rise above animals.
