>The full title of Darwin’s most famous work included some stark words: On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. Darwin wasn’t the first to propose biological arguments for racism, but his works fueled the most ugly and deadly racism.
>Hitler believed that people were engaged in a constant struggle for survival. The climax of history would be the survival of the fittest race—which he believed to be the “Aryan race.” Darwin’s theory, upon which those tyrants based their actions, was wrong.

Because we make our own standards. You're asking for an absolute certitude, something both ironic and dubious if the argument is that it can be derived only from God; an entity that is explicitly found solely in faith.

>>2102906
There are animals and there are beasts. Man is an animal, but he is not a beast -- he is the human animal, just as there exist the bestial animals. Because we are human, we can reason and make ways of living that we find suitable based from this reasoning.

It's irrelevant whence it arose, when the point is that it exists. You are free to argue, and possibly even correct, that it came from God -- but it is ultimately irrelevant. My God is not your God, and the morality and life that my God advocates is not twin to yours. In practice, it can only be said that the each of us are living as each reasons to be best, and that is the crux -- that the moral action and laws of humankind must necessarily stem from humans themselves.

This doesn't make a difference.
The only significant difference is there is a difference.

Darwin's theory is wrong because it's unscientific.
With the technology and the basic gist of the understanding of Evolution we can easily cut out Darwinianism as a viable explanation.

There is simply not enough evidence to substantiate the Darwinian claim.
The lab work doesn't match up and neither does the fossil record.

It's time for a new theory of Evolution.

It's as if they make it an article of faith.
Evolutionary theory is not on par with any other legitimate scientific theory.
It doesn't have the predictability of gravity nor the demonstrability of of say the H.U.P.
And they always talk of the missing link or breaks in the fossil record as something of a long lost friend they expect to see.
This is like taking a stroll with a non-sequitur or having lunch with the gap in a narrative.

I think a Marxist interpretation of the "scientists" economic values would show they know less than they'd have us believe.

The problem with official scientists is they are always becoming more official and less scientific.

What do I need a god for when I can explain this all with science and natural behavior?

Science can do very well without god, but religious people somehow need science to accept their view of their god in scientific theory. Since this doesn't work out they try the back door and try to put god somewhere where that science does not yet understand everything.
And since Science knows a little more every day, gods realm shrinks, he gets more abstract, and religion looses its influence in a scientific world.

This fails in the first couple of sentences. There is no claim that evolution is some sort of ascending ladder leading to mankind. Adaptation can sometimes lead to life forms becoming more simple.

Actually from an objective standpoint plants have much better reasoning ability than humans, they are conscious but not self conscious.
They can sense where the sun is in the sky and postion their leaves in to face it.
Self organizing for maximum photosynthetic efficiency aswell.
This is clearly conscious perception and interpretation.
Humans follow the sun in the sky and think that a a sky wizard that looks like them is doing it.
When was the last time you heard a tree come up with some retarded shit like that?
Symbolic self conscious thought is just one kind of conscious behavior and is overrated by its users, who are often times silly. Because they are able to perceive symbolic meaning, that means information that isn't there, it means humans can understand but that doesn't mean shit to a tree.
It's semiosis, semiosis is an intrinsic quality of all life, and all life consciously interprets signs from its external environment.

None of these is attempting to be a compete simulation of open-ended biological evolution. They do, however, all show that adaptation through heredity and selection is an extremely robust phenomenon that pops up even in very simple systems.

It's a consequence of all those systems being much, much simpler than the real world. But it also doesn't prove anything, evolution doesn't claim stagnation or extinction are impossible. It's been known for decades now that many species change very little for thousands of generations, than a lot all at once.

>backpedaling...

Not really. Biological evolution is the major subset of evolution, but still a subset. The models show evolution.

Science isn't for you.

You're absolutely right, I don't. No one does, that's the thing. Everyone's in the dark.
The fact that we can't even come up with a unified theory is a testament to that.

Extinctions seem to be the recurring theme, and it doesn't make you scratch your head that there is something when it is infinitely more likely there should be nothing?
We need an amoeba simulator...

>not really
Sorta, kinda, yes, really, really really, Biological Evolution is really the only thing people think of when they say "evolution".
And we don't really see it anywhere but biology.
Physical evolution is usually just transformations of the same thing into different structures all of which are subject to known principles, biology is slightly different in that its the transformation of the same thing into different structures however the governing factors aren't known.
Why would certain differences in DNA seemingly just appear. I think of the Cambrian mostly when I ponder this.
The principles aren't known or they aren't there.
Either Evolution (biology) doesn't rest upon a sufficient understanding or it doesn't rest at all.

No, any model is necessarily a simplification. A simplification is not necessarily an inaccuracy; when I say it's snowing, you don't need to know where every snowflake is. If you think a model needs to be as complex as reality, you do not understand why we use models.

>You're absolutely right, I don't. No one does, that's the thing. Everyone's in the dark.

No, actually, the fields that study complex systems are some of the fastest-growing fields in modern science.

>Why ever not?

Either you've failed to explain why examples of speciation do not count as examples for speciation, OR, the article you provided explains why they don't (it doesn't), in which case, you come out looking like an idiot for asking for something as if it was important, then claiming it doesn't matter. Pretending I'm calling you names is not an argument that gets you out of either scenario.

I love when creationists argue "isn't 'x' just so perfectly laid out. How could something so complex such as the eye evolve?"

>Google is empirical evidence
I haven't found a single study or lab experiment which naturally (this is to say without genetic tampering) that crosses species barriers. (As another anon pointed out its a nebulous term so it would need to be in well beyond the general understanding of "species")

>any model is necessarily a simplification
I think mathematical models of mathematical principles are more than the sum of their parts.
>simplification is not necessarily inaccuracy
You're right, but that isn't the case here.
It's as if I am asking for evidence that someone completed a race and crosses the finish line, instead you've given me evidence they were seen at certain points in the race.

I don't think you understand the discussion because you are harping more upon understanding the nature of models rather than the models understanding of nature.

You're a pseud.

I assume you mean living systems rather than any system. There aren't many people becoming string theorists.

It's also that biology is mandatory to be a medical professional.

>>2104709
>If that were true then nothing would ever be classified as a species.
No further variation is possible without it being distinguishable beyond the common genetic criteria.

You're thinking of a more individualistic definition whereas mine is more of a general understand based around Aristotelian particularism.

That's odd, did you try clicking any of the links on Google?

Why yes, that is the motto of complex systems theory, which studies these models among many others.

>You do realize science thrives upon ignorance right???

Giving up the game so soon? I thought we had something.

You've got the cheek to come out with this after getting pretty much nothing but reasonable responses until you resorted to childish shitposting in a thread that started with trying to link Darwinism to Nazism even though the Nazis banned the Origin of the Species?

Well I admire your chutzpah at least.

you're probably in the wealthiest 5% of countries in the world. your society is like the alpha male in the top predator on planet earth, life seems easy to you from that vantage point. life is hard as fuck for most people in the world today and it seems like social darwinism on a societal level can explain why that is. you know how ecology and demographics focus on populations rather than individuals? I think social darwinism is the same.

The story of man is one where morality plays a role.

In spite of a decrease chanced of survival, man will make altruistic choices which benefit the race as a whole.
