How Evolution Learns From Past Environments To Adapt To New Environments

[Soliton]

On a molecular basis that is a fairly high bar to clear, keeps out the ‘riff raff’. ;)

As a wise man once said, entropy is a beotch!

[RightWhale]

That’s correct. It is stochastic. Big difference.

[allmendream]

But entropy is a double edged sword.

Live by the sword. Die by the sword.

Life is dependent upon increasing environmental entropy in order to maintain a local pocket of reduced entropy.

Evolution follows the laws of physics like everything else. It is therefore limited in the direction it can take.

So it’s governed by a law then....and, let me guess...laws evolve as well.....and don’t necessarily have a lawmaker either.....

[Soliton]

The "laws" are simply part of the fabric of the universe. There is no need for a lawmaker.

[scottdeus12]

“The “laws” are simply part of the fabric of the universe. There is no need for a lawmaker.”

By definition, a law requires a lawmaker. Try again.

Fabric of the Universe....sounds like Carl Sagan.....lol.....

"a statement of an order or relation of phenomena that so far as is known is invariable under the given conditions b: a general relation proved or assumed to hold between mathematical or logical expressions"

Making up definitions is a liars game.

[valkyry1]

Making up definitions is a liars game.

 Then abandon evolutionary beliefs. 

[Soliton]

I looked up the defibiyion of “law” as it applied to science and there wasn’t any mention of “lawgiver”. Lying for God is never right.

[valkyry1]

Non Sequitur.

[valkyry1]

Lying for God is never right.

Like I said, then abandon evolutionary beliefs.

[Soliton]

Like I said, then abandon evolutionary beliefs.

If you don't like facts, go to the Religion forum. They're not allowed there.

[valkyry1]

Your facts, as it applies to evolutionary beliefs, are very ephemeral, an illusion as it is.

Is that really you, Yoda?

[scottdeus12]

“Making up definitions is a liars game.”

Screw you pal.

Why don’t you push your liberal secular agenda elsewhere.

I’m no liar. You can take your last statement and shove it.

[scottdeus12]

I just found where you got your definition. Webster's:

6 a: a statement of an order or relation of phenomena that so far as is known is invariable under the given conditions b: a general relation proved or assumed to hold between mathematical or logical expressions

I see that you chose #6. Did you not see definition 1a?:1 a (1): a binding custom or practice of a community : a rule of conduct or action prescribed or formally recognized as binding or enforced by a controlling authority.

My guess is you chose to ignore that to call to bolster your argument... and then call *me* a liar. Putz.
