Is Diversity and Multiculturalism a Good or Bad Thing?

[New haven america]

Does everything have to be created?

Yo no entiendo.

It's a very simple question.

[War Gears]

someone had to make those aliens.

No, they didn't. Evolution could've well taken care of that.

someone had to make those aliens.

No, they didn't. Evolution could've well taken care of that.

And what controls evolution?

[New haven america]

No, they didn't. Evolution could've well taken care of that.

And what controls evolution?

The biological need to adapt to one's environment and surroundings.

I know you're trying to find that "Ahah!" point, but when the person who discovered evolution happened to also be a clergyman, yeah, you're gonna have some trouble...

[Sovaal]

No, they didn't. Evolution could've well taken care of that.

And what controls evolution?

Environmental factors.

That wasn't what I am asking. There was the need to change, but what then made that organism change?

And what controls evolution?

Environmental factors.

I didn't ask what causes evolution and adaptation. I asked what controls it. What causes it to happen?

[War Gears]

No, they didn't. Evolution could've well taken care of that.

And what controls evolution?

Evolution is a change in inherited characteristics, there is not something consciously "controlling" it. If there were, we would have to wonder about the intelligibility of such a being because of the numerous cruel and useless mutations which have occurred and contributed nothing.

Contributed nothing? Death is an important and required part of life.

Down Syndrome isn't.

The need to adapt to one's environment and surroundings, I already told you this.

Let's for example, look at whales. A few 10-20 mil. years ago, what became whales used to be a smaller (3-5 ft long/tall) animal, that look more akin to rodents than anything else. Now, as this animal started spending more time in water, those who did best in water reproduced, while those who didn't died off (Nature is not very forgiving), and over millions of years, those animals who did best in water passed on their genes and their children slowly started taking on more and more fish/aquatic-like features, so over those 10-20 million years (Maybe even more) those small rodent like creatures became the largest animal in Earth's history.

Down Syndrome isn't.

It isn't? People with Down's Syndrome tend to not reproduce. It's just another way of keeping the population down. As is every other disease, ailment, malady, etc.

And who made those?

Can we get back to the subject please?

What gave the animals who had the genes to perform well in water the genes to perform well in water?

[United Islamic Commonwealth]

Can we get back to the subject please?

Eh. True. It got a bit boring without someone screaming about the brown menace.

Diversity has to do with biological processes.

Environmental factors.

And who made those?

The biological need to adapt to one's environment and surroundings.

And who made those?

Chemistry.

All life is literally a giant pile of chemicals.

Just take it to PM's. No one knows fur sur. Ahhhh

What gave the animals who had the genes to perform well in water the genes to perform well in water?

Nothing, they either adapted the best they could, or they got killed off.

The ones that adapted just got lucky.

By far I'd rather have this. The 'brown menace' stuff is effing irritating.

[United Islamic Commonwealth]

What gave the animals who had the genes to perform well in water the genes to perform well in water?

Nothing, they either adapted the best they could, or they got killed off.

The one's that adapted just got lucky.

So, those genes and the abnormalities that gave those animals the advantage just appeared?

Which was made by...?

[New haven america]

Nothing, they either adapted the best they could, or they got killed off.

The one's that adapted just got lucky.

So, those genes and the abnormalities that gave those animals the advantage just appeared?

No, they developed over millions upon millions of years.

However, even still, if they couldn't adapt as fast or faster then the others around them, they would most likely die.
