10/10 times, a child or young adult committing suicide is the fault of the parents.

*The group points out that signing the statement does not mean these scholars endorse “alternative theories such as self-organization, structuralism, or intelligent design,” but rather simply indicates “skepticism about modern Darwinian theories central claim that natural selection acting on random mutations is the driving force behind the complexity of life.”*

Nothing weird at all.

2019-02-11 23:39:27 UTC  

Pretty rational

2019-02-11 23:39:46 UTC  

All those thousands of scientists denying darwinism like...

Being skeptical is not flat out denying

2019-02-11 23:59:25 UTC  

There are people who don't think increased co2 in our atmosphere is a bad thing, yet still believe in climate change.

2019-02-12 00:01:02 UTC  

Believing in climate change doesn't really affect your attitude towards it, it's acknowledging that man made emissions are what is causing increasing global temperatures that can be irreversible

2019-02-12 00:01:47 UTC  

Whether you think it's good or bad doesn't negate your belief in it

2019-02-12 00:03:59 UTC  

I'm going to play Devil's advocate here:

There's some argument in the biology community about the origin of SOME adaptations, in the sense that they're 'random' in a very distinct direction towards the benefit of the organism, and are duplicable in other species at a rate above random chance.

2019-02-12 00:06:17 UTC  

Basically, in a sense, that there's almost a 'grab bag' of possibilities organisms work with that is not unlimited

2019-02-12 00:07:25 UTC  

But alatriste, how do we know how much humans are affecting climate change ?

2019-02-12 00:07:42 UTC  

Should we really be worried if we find out that only 2% of warming is caused by humans?

2019-02-12 00:07:52 UTC  

I'm sure we really would be worried if its 98%

2019-02-12 00:07:58 UTC  

but we don't know right now

2019-02-12 00:08:18 UTC  

I think the most accurate estimates are between 10 and 80% of warming is caused by humans.

2019-02-12 00:08:23 UTC  

thats a big error bar there.

2019-02-12 00:10:04 UTC  

Adaptations are not random. Mutations are . When a mutation has an advantage it is an adaptation. Think of it like a die roll but the roll is random (mutations) and permanent. So bad rolls basically never repeat except randomly. Out of this noise you occasionally get crit. That does not repeat randomly because it confers advantage.

Special note;

By advantage we mean an advantage for the mutation. *that does not mean an advantage for the organism or the species.*

Ok, memes aside and forget climate change, aren't you worried about the shit that's in the air? The concentration of toxic particles is so high that you can't breathe pure air not even on top of the Himalayas. All that shit comes down into the water we drink etc. Climate change seems like a secondary issue, but both sides sperg over that and forget the rest

2019-02-12 00:10:44 UTC  

Fuck China

2019-02-12 00:10:48 UTC  

@Jym I know how evolution works, I'm just going into depth here a bit

2019-02-12 00:10:49 UTC  

Fuck yeah, but you're gonna get diminishing returns continuing to take action in western countries.

2019-02-12 00:11:00 UTC  

we need to start putting pressure on china.

2019-02-12 00:11:39 UTC  

yeah, india, nigeria, indonesia, malaysia, and many other developing countries have issues too... but china is by far #1 per capita on basically everything bad in regards to environemtnal standards.

2019-02-12 00:11:39 UTC  

Probably entire countries in Europe pollute less than a single city in China

2019-02-12 00:11:41 UTC  

@AlephKnoll 100% is done by humans

2019-02-12 00:11:48 UTC  

not true

2019-02-12 00:11:57 UTC  

the climate has changed for the past 4.5 billion years

2019-02-12 00:12:04 UTC  

the sahara used to be green

2019-02-12 00:12:04 UTC  

Alright, I'm going to dip out now.

Y'all are sperging about climate science

2019-02-12 00:12:13 UTC  

Antarctica used to be a rainforest.

2019-02-12 00:12:22 UTC  

we don't know how much is caused by humans

2019-02-12 00:12:26 UTC  

Of all warming since 1950*

2019-02-12 00:12:28 UTC  

we know they have an effect, but we don't know how much
