Darwin relegated to myth?

[Dale]

one day Darwin might be regulated to myth if science doesn't consider
older psychological, psychiatrical, and sociological traditions of old
mainly carried on in religion

the majority of people on earth are religious, religion provides them
psychological, psychiatrical, and sociological solutions, while science
talks about going to mars

until the establishment scientific institutional gives psychology,
psychiatry and sociology the credence as the more important sciences,
they will fail to compete with religion, and they will fail in the
maturity of the important sciences too

as a psychiatric patient I see this first hand, psychiatric conditions
are diagnosed psychologically then treated biologically, psychiatric
patients deal with labels and stigmas, if I was diagnosed as having high
dopamine, as they say I have, with medical imaging it would be a less
troubling label, my medicine leaves me with the side effects of tardive
dyskensia and neuroleptic malignant syndrome out of low dopamine like
Parkinson's, the medicines are expensive because you are forced by the
legal system in a roundabout way to take them,, psychiatry is a power
grab now instead of the elegant science it could be

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardive_dyskinesia

religious psychiatry like "medicine men", shamans, witch doctors, etc.
leave patients normal with respect to society, how am I supposed to
return to work with 20 years of psychiatry treatment on my resume even
if I was capable?

Science does not have to consider any of these.

wouldn't you say that natural selection is sociological?

what is the value of the parable or metaphor at least? Why do you get
the idea that every religious person is talking about Jesus? Lots of
good stuff with Jesus if only parable/metaphor, can you say the same of
yourself, will people have such an audience for your opinions as long
and wide as Jesus? This is the mistake of science, they are missing
lessons of history, if they want to criticize religion they should do a
study and publish it, until then they should have some modesty in the
face that they are turning their nose to history and may repeat its lessons

There should be studies of WHY people adhere to religion.

There should be studies of what psychological, psychiatrical, and
sociological suggestions are in religion.

Science is always complaining about religion not recognizing its
advancements, but science must consider very old traditions have
something to offer too, or else they wouldn't be adhered to for so long

Science didn't start with Galileo, Descartes, Newton, etc.

People have been asking questions and seeking answers and developing
solutions based on such since the dawn of man.

Science should compare its delivery system of knowledge to the public,
as opposed to the religious delivery system. Lots of science does not
make it past the insider peer review process thinking that the average
man is not capable of understanding it. Religion has a good system of
explaining things to the public, even if it is in parables or metaphors.
Maybe schools should incorporate the parable/metaphor model for early
development. Can you really say our public schools deliver a
satisfactory education of psychology, psychiatry, or sociology?

Because there is God who can create something out of nothing.
--
God's spiritual evidence:

Truth, love, wisdom, compassion, knowledge, consciousness, intelligence,
happiness, faith, courage, justice, peace, freedom, and life itself.

God's spiritual evidence is evident in everyone.
Find it and treasure it because it's the covenant of God.
It's the reason why we are given this life on earth.
It's the foundation why we can have meaning in life.

Let's all honor our personal spiritual evidence of God for the sake of
Christ!

There is no proof of God or atheism (no God): only belief, consequently,
debating
belief is futile and pointless The point si where does tempirical scientific
evidence lead?
I think the evidence ir taken at face value, clearly points to Intelligent
Design.

That is only your assumption. As it turns out, it's a
false one. It's well known that matter can appear "ex
nihilo". See, for example,

<https://infidels.org/library/modern/mark-vuletic-vacuum/>

In this case, "nothing" means a vacuum in space.

If there were truly nothing -- not even spacetime -- then
laws of physics as we know it become meaningless. In that
case, how do you know what can or can't happen?

Good question. Nobody knows, maybe nobody will ever know.

Why is not our business. If religious or otherwise all should rejoice

That is right. From the view of physics, life is just like a small sun
giving out energy to its environment day and night. Considering the
energy of life comes from the big sun, life is able to turn the energy
from the sun into a new sun in itself. Such process is literally
recycling energy. Since energy can never be recycled according to the
second law of thermodynamics, life should never be able to arise by itself.
--
God's spiritual evidence:

Truth, love, wisdom, compassion, knowledge, consciousness, intelligence,
happiness, faith, courage, justice, peace, freedom, and life itself.

God's spiritual evidence is evident in everyone.
Find it and treasure it because it's the covenant of God.
It's the reason why we are given this life on earth.
It's the foundation why we can have meaning in life.

Let's all honor our personal spiritual evidence of God for the sake of
Christ!

Well, the exodus did happen in some kind of way, I don't know that I'd

the Hebrew people are a very real presence in the world, even now. Not

You are wise to not debate the other examples. Still,
you'd expect archaeological evidence if the exodus were

You could certainly make an argument that the Jews have
found favor with God, again, over the last 75 years
anyway, if only God existed. They must have really pissed

Archaeological evidence can only do so much. The written history is

It's an interesting thing to observe the situation with modern Israel,
yeah. There is something to it, although not what Pat Robertson would
say, it's part of the potential for revolution in the entire
world - the haves versus the have-nots. Thankfully, God has an ace in
the hole, so to speak, which will alleviate this crisis.

which are literary fiction, and which are flat-out lies.
Can you?

Yeah, I can.
First, the Scriptures have been used by thousands of masters and Ph.D. students
as their basis for their thesis and dissertations and at the same time I know many
High School dropouts that read the Scriptures every day and they do that because they "get it".
The Scriptures are available to everyone, if you can read or have someone read to you, the wisdom
of 66 books written by 40 different authors is available to you.

Second, everything that we learn points to the inerrancy of the Scriptures, from the "James Webb"
telescope to the "Dead Sea Scrolls" and every archeological find reenforces the authenticity, reliability,
and Truth.

Third, the Scripture is about us and our relationship to the creator and it covers everything. Because scripture
covers everything and there are no mistakes. Scripture Interprets Itself, reading will take you down a
path that you cannot diverge from, if you find that your interpretation contradicts other Scripture
I can assure you that you are wrong, time to reevaluate.

You are assuming life doesn't exist on any other planets.
I would bet it does, somewhere, probably not in this
solar system at this time.
Second, if life can't exist, it won't, and it can't exist
on most bodies for obvious reasons.
Are you trying to convince us that life can't arise
naturally?

Since we know it cannot arise by any natural, materialistic
process, then we should know that there had to have been
the involvement of --->a most awesome, super, intelligent
agency.

"We" know no such thing. It's only a fantasy you invented
because you want to think the bible is true.

Life shows the ability to move against the natural physical law. That's
like the sail boat showing the ability to sail upstream. Such ability
can't be formed by itself because nothing in the universe can move
against the natural physical law. Therefore, both life and the sail boat
must be the result of intelligent design.
--
God's spiritual evidence:

Truth, love, wisdom, compassion, knowledge, consciousness, intelligence,
happiness, faith, courage, justice, peace, freedom, and life itself.

God's spiritual evidence is evident in everyone.
Find it and treasure it because it's the covenant of God.
It's the reason why we are given this life on earth.
It's the foundation why we can have meaning in life.

Let's all honor our personal spiritual evidence of God for the sake of
Christ!

Life exists because it can. It doesn't need any more reason
than that.

An intelligent honest person will naturally want to know
their origin. But a fool will dismiss the issue because he
soon sees there are philosophical issues involved that are
uncomfortable to him. This is why he is a 'fool', because
he doesn't want the truth, or anything to do with it.

There are basically two different

how the evidence is interpreted.

There are philosophical issues

In fact, I note that it makes some

There has never been an observation of a gene gaining information,
it is not science to assume something that has never been observed
and has nothing to even imply that it could happen.
Loss of genetic information is provable, observable and recorded.
Furthermore, it's effects are to a large degree predictable.

The issue is that evolution assumes 0 genetic information
in the beginning to the vast wealth of information today,
Creationism states that Adam and Eve had all the
genetic information from the beginning and a lot of things happened between
then and now but we now have less. A lot less.

Science belongs to Creationism.

Common problem among the God Botherers.

The Universe though is powerful evidence for the basic
intelligence of matter, the rules by which it is formed and the
properties inherent in matter that lead to to the formation of
stars. Eventually after a few chapters of stellar evolution,
sufficient matter to allow for the formation of planetary bodies
some with the proper conditions for life to emerge and evolve
from bacteria, to animals, plants and for each group to further
evolve finally after working through other modes to attempt to
survive through CNS to evolve to people like us. It seems that
it may be a dead end as primitive drives still rule us and blind
us to our own folly.

Why there is life is because there is life, is another atheist ignorant

No thing can create itself.

And just in case I get the same idiot atheist bullshit, God is eternal,

He was created (including God) as no thing can create itself.

Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
YET sinners, Christ died for us.

Jeremiah 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it
is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

"To seek your own will is to seek your own glory."

"If God is not first in everything He is not first in anything."

"Sin is not what you do, it is what you are."

"What makes the bible the truth? The resonance of God."

"All men were born sinners. Why? Because all men were born not loving
God with all their heart, soul and mind. An abomination."

"Compromise will condemn you."

"There are no sinners in Christ Jesus."

"My sons are born of Me. In them is no darkness at all."

"You can't learn righteousness. Haven't you had enough time already to
know that?"

"The way of truth is the testimony of life."

"I merely speak the truth, what is revealed to me, and the cards fall
where God intends."

"Nothing that is produced is produced without first being faith."

"You can only find proof of God through faith because that is how we all
live, by faith."

"It is not what you do that matters, it is how you treat Me."

"Keep going forward. Forget about the past. Lift up your head, look
ahead."

"You cannot be free with guilt in your heart."

"Priority is everything."

"The truth doesn't need evidence, it is evidence."

"There is no greater possession a man has than his own will, to squander
it or to place it where it truly belongs."

"An atheist is a fool who thinks truth is found in living a lie."

"Saying "prove it" [as a foundation] is merely an ignorant straw man, to
an ignorant straw man."

"Wait, rest, be still, and know."

"No man can wash his own hands!!!"

"I find this in the Christianity religions: 'Nobody's perfect' they say,
and they use that as an excuse not to do what is perfect."

The Atheist: "They don't believe and put their faith in a Creator (the
obvious). So no evidence and proof is to be found!!"

"The world is the way it is because God can't compromise who He is."

"Man is not the centre of being."

"Man is incompatible with the natural world because of his sinful nature."

"And then the Lord said, "I see everything."

"Man has no greater idol than his own will."

"Where is God hiding? He isn't."

None of this is necessarily nonreligious.  You have to realize that
that this universe was created with parameters that support life.
And that Time is a tool to help things change.

I have no doubt that the universe is 13.8 billion years old and the
earth is 4.6 billion.
