Evolution...?

[Avante]

Oh, good, you're back.

Are you ready to take that IQ Test yet?

http://iqtest.com/

I'm boning up for the test right now, deep into all those famous philosophers right now, ya know...Kant, Kierkegaard, Schlegal and of course Nietzsche. After I finish reading....reality. man and existence....I'll be ready.

[Avante]

I'm looking at my dog Joey and our parrot, hard to buy we could trace them both back to a fish. Then I look over and Max our pet turtle and this ing fly that won't leave me alone and to think they can all be traced back to a fish........mind boogling. Then......to watch those little fish swim around in the aquarium who simply stayed a fish.

Well I'll be damn, looking out the widow what do I see, a little hummingbird at the feeder, what an amazing aviator this little creature is. To think he/she also came from the same fish that sad ass little fly*** came from.....hmmmm?

*** that dead fly now.

That settles it.

theory of Avante > theory of evolution

i mean if god is a fish then technically you believe we all came from fish

[Avante]

Let's try this...

What if our little fishes simply couldn't sustain like on dry land, well? What if the diet they needed to survive could only be found in the ocean? So if those fish never lived on land what now?

you mean like land animals that eat fish for their diet?

I find it so sad and ironic that you would invoke names like Kant or Kierkegaard given that those people, if they were alive today, would be laughing at you for denying evolution. Even Nietzsche has famously proclaimed the death of God.

Also, if you're trying to impress me by saying the names of a bunch of dead philosophers, then believe me, it's not working. For one, I've already read all those philosophers (and a whole lot more, a bunch of obscure names you've probably never heard of). For two, even if you have read their texts, I seriously doubt you even understand what they're saying. You try effect an air of intellectualism by making references to great thinkers, yet your line of thinking is diametrically opposed to that of theirs.

You ignored the question. If those fish couldn't have lived on land then we'd have no life on earth, right?

if they couldn't live on land, then we'd have no life on land. but i don't see why they couldn't live on land. there were no predators

Trust me half pint I understand everything that's being said, it's not complex at all...ok? See my signature.......big fan of Nietzsche, and have been since around 13.

You seem too wrapped up with..."I smart"....hahahaha!!!!!!!! You don't impress me at all.

[Avante]

The point I'm getting at is yes all living creatures can be traced back to those first fish that lived on land. Now actually think about that.

a) this isn't "your point." its common knowledge

b) i'm assuming by "living creatures" you are referring to land animals

So you have no problems at all seeing the ant and the elephant having a common ancestor?

Okay, then. Since you say you "understand everything being said" and that it's "not complex at all," could you please explain to me how Kant outlined the relationship between the mind and human experience--between the phenomenal world and the noumenal world--in his Critique of Pure Reason?

You're boring me amigo.

Who can't....


Kant argued that our experiences are structured by necessary features of our minds. In his view, the mind shapes and structures experience so that, on an abstract level, all human experience shares certain essential structural features. Among other things, Kant believed that the concepts of space and time are integral to all human experience, as are our concepts of cause and effect.^[4] One important consequence of this view is that one never has direct experience of things, the so-called noumenal world, and that what we do experience is the phenomenal world.

It's all there, simple as could be just read it.

[spurraider21]

the answer to this is apparent based on my position

thanks for copy-pasting wikipedia, proving you never actually read those philosophers

See right there is why you are strange. Do you honestly think I was trying to pass that off as something I wrote? Come on man, damn!!!!!!!!!! See that [4] that wouldn't give it away? I was talking about all that stuff can be found on the internet.

I wonder about you guy. You never pick up on the obvious at all.

the guy asked YOU to explain something, and you just copy-paste spammed us as usual like you do with youtube videos

What else is there to say about it? If I'd read what he had said, what else could I say?

You work way too hard at this slick, relax, ok?

Tell me again about how a fish became an elephant, hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mammals are the most recent of the animal kingdom, usually beginning with smaller rodents the further back you go

Why would Jesus design an elephant?

He knew we would need the ivory for billiards

Where did the insects come from?

[spurraider21]

Where did the insects come from?

they came from different ocean life than other animals. birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians are all vertebrates, and came from fish with vertebrae.

insects are arthropods (their skeletons are an outer s , instead of inner bone), so they stem from from other arthropod species. think of how similar a lobster is to a scorpion, etc.
