And as was already noted, you can also work on figuring out why you play with words rather than philosopize with meaning.

You have just endorsed the argument of agnostics.bahman wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2023 5:46 pmThe point is there is a huge debate about evolution between theists and atheists. I am saying that both parties are wrong in the sense that evolution is not a precise practice so one cannot use it to make an argument against or in favor of God, creation, and the like.

What about the recurrent laryngeal nerve are you referencing? Or does CM X have something to do with natural selection?Sculptor wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2023 12:09 pmYou demonstrate many examples of natural selection, and you can show many examples of such ifiotic design as the render the idea of "intelligence" void.bahman wrote: ↑Fri Dec 15, 2023 3:49 pm You cannot disprove the existence of a supernatural being that gives shape to nature.

I guess I’m just a little bit dense about why you’re asking.
Re: Evolution, God made or an accident
In fish the larynx nerve is short as it serves the gills. But as amphibians developed and the gills transformed to be vestiges the pathway of that nerve continued through the aortic loop. What was perfectly efficent in a fish became ridiculous in long necked animals.bahman wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2023 12:14 pmWhat you are talking about!?Sculptor wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2023 12:09 pmYou demonstrate many examples of natural selection, and you can show many examples of such ifiotic design as the render the idea of "intelligence" void.bahman wrote: ↑Fri Dec 15, 2023 3:49 pm You cannot disprove the existence of a supernatural being that gives shape to nature.

For example - do you know about the nerve that serves the Larynx?
In a dinosaur that nerve has to travel from the brain down the whole length of the next to wrap under the heart only to have to find its way up to the throat.
This can be seen in Gifaffes whose Larynx nerve is 3.6 metres long.
This is not evidence for intellgent design but natural selection through the promotion of useful traits.
As the advantage of long neck is diverse animals grew the larygial nerve did not get the memo and still goes in this absurd journey.
There are many other numerous examples of design flaws that could only be the result of natural selection.

Re: Evolution, God made or an accident
If by the USE of the word 'supernatural' here 'you' are REFERRING TO some 'thing' that could NOT POSSIBLY exist, then, OF COURSE, 'you' could NOT prove what 'you' SAID and WROTE here.
However, if, by the USE of the word 'supernatural' here 'you' are just REFERRING TO THE 'thing', which ACTUALLY DOES give shape to 'Nature', Itself, then, OBVIOUSLY, and OF COURSE, the existence of THIS 'thing' CAN BE PROVED.
'It' ALL DEPENDS on what 'you' MEAN, and/or ARE REFERRING TO, EXACTLY.

One can argue that that is God's intention to design and change the natural features of animals, humans, dinosaurs, etc.Sculptor wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 12:17 pmIn fish the larynx nerve is short as it serves the gills.

Because if there was any intelligence invloved it would have not made such a dumb error. ANd this error appears in every creature with a neck
