Is Diversity and Multiculturalism a Good or Bad Thing?

[Kubumba Tribe]

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.

And who were they developed by?

And what caused them to develop over those millions upon millions of years?

[War Gears]

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.

There are other ways of ensuring population control than a random mutation which results in children suffering developmental and intellectual impairment, and if there is an all-powerful being, then they would just be able to create a system where there was no need for culling human beings like they were herd animals. We've overcome numerous diseases and Down Syndrome doesn't affect nearly enough people to effect population growth.

Honestly God would be a complete piece of shit if he gave children Down Syndrome. Such a being would only deserve to be scorned and derided as the pathetic sadist he is.

And who were they developed by?

The lucky ones who didn't get killed off over that period spanning millions of years.

I know you're trying to disprove the established principles of evolution, but a clergyman was the one who discovered those principles. So when someone in such a devoted profession can look at the facts and say "Yeah, no, creationism is false", then what chance do you think you have?

And who were they developed by?

Why the hell does everything have to be caused by some agent?

Biological phenomena is caused by physical and chemical phenomena and chemical phenomena are caused by physical phenomena.

And what caused them to develop over those millions upon millions of years?

The need to adapt to their environment or surroundings, or die and fail to produce offspring.

How would you rather he control it? Another Black Death? Another World War? Plucking the ovaries from millions of women? Snipping the balls of millions of men?

The need to adapt to their environment or surroundings, or die and fail to produce offspring.

Who created that need? Also, I don't think animals have a 'need' to change their genes.

Infertility.

[United Islamic Commonwealth]

And what caused them to develop over those millions upon millions of years?

The need to adapt to their environment or surroundings, or die and fail to produce offspring.

And what told the genes to develop the alleles to be able to withstand that natural hardship?

[Katzenstaat]

The need to adapt to their environment or surroundings, or die and fail to produce offspring.

Not everything is caused by an agent.

[United Islamic Commonwealth]

Infertility.

How? You would want God to just spontaneously make a huge segment of the population infertile?

[Katzenstaat]

The need to adapt to their environment or surroundings, or die and fail to produce offspring.

And what told the genes to develop the alleles to be able to withstand that natural hardship?

Nobody. It just occasionally evolves into existence through random mutations.

[Albrenia]

Wow, I love the idea of someone saying 'and who made that... and that... and that?' but the question magically stops at God. Who made God? Who made the next step?

As said above, not everything has an agency behind it. Natural processes occur naturally, strangely enough.

[Kubumba Tribe]

Who created that need? Also, I don't think animals have a 'need' to change their genes.

Not everything is caused by an agent.

It is created by one tho.

[Katzenstaat]

Infertility.

How? You would want God to just spontaneously make a huge segment of the population infertile?

More benign than deaths.

[Katzenstaat]

Evidence?

How? I'm sure there are people who have committed suicide or gone into a depression over not being able to reproduce.

[United Islamic Commonwealth]

Wow, I love the idea of someone saying 'and who made that... and that... and that?' but the question magically stops at God. Who made God? Who made the next step?

Nothing has to "make God". There has to be a beginning somewhere. I don't believe that God is an actual thing that could be created or made.

[Kubumba Tribe]

Evidence?

Because nothing can't make anything.

[Albrenia]

More benign than deaths.

How? I'm sure there are people who have committed suicide or gone into a depression over not being able to reproduce.

I'm sure more people have died of death than of suicide over lack of being able to reproduce.

Biology.

Specifically the need to not die and produce offspring, thus continuing the species.

[Albrenia]

Look into negative energy, antimatter and things like that. It is actually very possible for something to come from nothing, in certain circumstances.

[United Islamic Commonwealth]

That's not the point of the conversation, Albrenia. Read back before jumping in.
