'The body was not designed' - that's not a statement from knowledge nor from science, nor is it a statement from any established fact. That level of arrogance is worthy of disdain. "We have observed it changing, therefore we know that no one has designed it". Imagine scientists 4 million years from now saying 'well, we can observe the evolution of computers, therefore we know that nobody designed them'

I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.” 5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.

If you make a wall out of a million tiles and then paint each tile a different color, why is something diverse because they don't have the same color? I don't understand why biological is considered diverse, it all is based on DNA, it's all use mostly the same brain technology, eating technology, just because something isn't the same color or shape, doesn't make it diverse. The life on earth has an almost frightening sameness to it. Planets is roughly the same, stars is roughly the same, galaxies is the same, if we could see more than one universe, it would seem logical that it has a really high probability it will be more of the same.

What amazes me about pandemics is this: we used to think the flu might re-mutate into a spanish flu and wipe out a huge proportion of us...or that a lab leak might happen, like in the Stephen King novel; but in the end, it seems like an oddly virulent respiratory virus has jumped from wild animal to man, in a chinese wet market. And despite upending the global economy, it didnt even kill that many people! Im not saying it wasnt a bad virus, or that the millions of people that died dont matter, Im just saying that compared to the doomsday predictions and fantasies, the bark was way worse than the bite, and we are very much still here and in charge. Edit: 6 million people out of 7.9 billion...thats not too bad on Dawkins time scale of 100's of thousands of years...

Lawrence Krauss loves nothing.. lol. He's an expert on nothing. Oh the jokes are endless lol. His ideas are pretty interesting though. Even absolute nothingness is unstable on a quantum level so even space and time will eventually pop into existence, given enough "time," since we have an infinite amount essentially because "time" does not even exist yet, allows infinite room for possibility, so eventually quantum fluctations result in nothing becoming something eventually. And then everyone starts arguing what "nothing" means, lol. No thing. Well there was definitely no "thing" there beforehand, and it's an assumption/assertion to say you know that something has to be created from something else. We really don't understand the deep, deep, fundamental "creative" processes of the universe/multiverse(if such a thing exists.) Basically, who knows? ; )

Through sheer force of will and who knows what else, weren't powerful forces unleashed and internal explosions triggered in exactly this same manner? An approach that continues to fracture minds and entire populations from Texas to Taiwan? Just so chipped mugs and cracked saucers can be blasted outwards further still, serving as shrapnel that lodges itself into every crevice imaginable? Spreading out in this fashion, and creating further in roads for the great cavalcade. That is leading us where now?

I categorically disagree with the female in the dark blue-shirt's comment about Natural Selection not favoring altruistic actions for the purpose of war between non-familial individuals.. if we cease thinking of Natural Selection in terms of environmental/selection pressures impressing upon individuals/persons for that of the gene.. we can begin a more coherent analysis.. for example, when studying hive insects like bees or ants (I'm no entomologist but bear with me) you'll find that while the drones all share the same Queen/Mother, their heterozygousity makes some of the drones (like the Nursing Class) the functional equivalent to non-familial humans.. yet, the same self-sacrificial altruistic behavior can be seen when the hive is attacked.. the only viable explanation for this is that while for human allegiance may appear conscious, like these hive insects..we may be compelled to altruistic action on behalf of the genes that finds it more favorable to its long-term success to suspend the livelihood of "vehicle" in which it lives (namely the organism in which it lives at that time) for that of the Other.. why? Because natural selection from the standpoint of the gene, doesn't require the organism that it happens to inhabit.. only the next body, namely the descendent for its "success".. we will find at times, that organisms acting contrary to their own individual survival to *advertise* phenotypes of reproductive success.. so.. like a peacocks tail would be to a peacock.. altruistic behavior under adverse circumstance would be a display of fitness to a social organism..

@@SecretEyeSpot I think the bees show very easily that the individual isnt the most important thing. Thats why we have had so many wars, because it is just reinforced so deep that we are part of the tribe, the society, the kingdom, the empire, and we are expected to work, suffer, and even die, for the good of the group. There are times I hate my life. I hate people. I keep getting up and getting on with it...I have roles, I have people depending on me, I have beliefs, I am part of a nation...etc. Incidentally on bees, I watched this video where this guy was talking about how one of his hives had become super aggro, and attacked him whenever he was around, not even trying to collect their honey, and he decided the only thing he could do was search for the queen. He couldnt get to her, so he exterminated the whole hive. She was aggro, so the whole hive became aggro too. Theres human societies in history that were like that, Imperial Japan in WW2 springs to mind.

Stupid people breed more than smart people, for a variety of reasons. And raw IQ isnt the same as braininess in my experience, because very high IQ people are quite prone to marrying stupid people, wasting themselves with drugs, or wasting themselves on something like say professional sport. Professional sport isnt going to save the human race from a comet or asteroid, or a high mortality pandemic. Thats why I agree with Dawkins on his insight that such an endeavour requires a conscious decision to focus on it. I also agree that it would require reinforcement over hundreds of thousands of years of human reproduction (eugenics?) and it wont happen in my life time I am reasonably sure. I disagree with him that variance in 'braininess' (not specifically defined yet) requires 'variance'. Presumably he means that there needs to be random variation, in the darwinian sense. However, it must be designed by our organism, it must be its purpose to get smarter, to be better with tools, to be able to carry more, for greater distances, love and domesticate useful animals (eg dogs), and create computer systems that run 24/7 without manual labor required to run it, and the list goes on. Finally, the human race must accept at some point in time, that if it is possible to get off world, our future generations may all die here on Earth, and that it may actually be robots/computers that take the technology to create new humans off world, and boots us up upon arrival on the target planet(s). So we may well technically go extinct, but still be reborn via technology. Not sure, who knows, just saying.
