Why is every youtube channel that preachers religion always based on assumption and conjecture rather than evidence? [Spirituality & Religion]

As if big bang theory and human evolution theory isn't conjecture.

@SteelHands Big Bang theory is just a basic explanation of what we think happened, human evolution on the other hand, and evolution in general, as a lot of evidence backing it, including lab experiments with microscopic organisms.

@PikachuTrainer genetic adaptive reproductive preferences are not evidence for million year old living and evolving microscopic

Yes I know I'm just making shit up now. You started it. Lol
PikachuTrainer · 26-30, M
@SteelHands it is, evolution is a constant, change happens through generations, noticable change takes millions of years for complex creatures like you and I. That is why we call it survival of the fittest.

@PikachuTrainer selective reproduction isn't the kind of evolution that changes you into a dolphin. Stahp. You're making me laugh too much.

@SteelHands evolution =/= metamorphosis
SteelHands · 61-69, M
@PikachuTrainer In a butterfly that's called shifting from a pupa to insect. In a human that's known as a mutation. Mutations don't occur frequently and never in large numbers in mammals but when they do the result is a shortened life span, genetic disadvantages and failure to reproduce.

Anything else?
PikachuTrainer · 26-30, M
@SteelHands a Mutation in itself does not mean it is not beneficial, mutation through an evolutionary path, can be both beneficial or non-beneficial, like those observed in Viruses, Pathogens and other microscopic life forms. In fact we can observe this with some species of animals in order to avoid predators, such as conforming their fur or skin to match the environment.

@PikachuTrainer Can. That's a theory. Also known as conjecture.
PikachuTrainer · 26-30, M
@SteelHands you do understand what a Theory is right? A theory, such as the Theory of Gravity, does not mean it is conjecture, since we can prove that Gravity exists.
SteelHands · 61-69, M
@PikachuTrainer Nobody ever called gravity a theory. There are many theories of how it functions, however. You're confusing yourself about cause and affect.

@PikachuTrainer I'm not Wikipedia and someone writing down something doesn't make it fact.
PikachuTrainer · 26-30, M
@SteelHands I never asked if you were Wikipedia, and same goes for your bible, if someone writes it down it doesn't make it fact.
SteelHands · 61-69, M
@PikachuTrainer You brought up wikipedia. Not me. Of you can't even debate without internet help you're just another brainwashed person and you know it.

That's true. Just because it's written it would be better to read 50 books before you shoot your carbon copy load on here like any other of the parrots.


Ya know. I observe this among those that parrot the same old shit I used to. The one thing it seems to me is that younger people these days don't do much reading. In truth not that much on either side of a issue that can't be known. Not unless it agrees with their indoctrinations, adds whole chalkboard filled with numbers and symbols that almost nobody can read, backed up with claims about things that you need million dollar microscopes to maybe, just maybe, see a glimmer of related data that supports a theoretical framework of proportional plausibility and a truckload of verbosity.

What else ya got, pink.
PikachuTrainer · 26-30, M
@SteelHands actually it is called providing a source, I don't need the internet for help, though it does come in handy.

Isn't that exactly what people like you do? Shoot off carbon copy arguments then when a source is provided quickly complain about it?

Again that is exactly what you do, parrot the same old crappy argument that suits your agenda. Sure I maybe young, and I do a lot of reading, such as history. What it isn't, is indoctrination, because at the end of the day I can still make agreements and disagreements with something, however if there is valid scientific data, I mean sure I'm not intelligent enough to decipher the math they use, but they can normally prove their math works with practical applications, such as getting to the moon or making an Aircraft fly. Just because you don't understand the math doesn't mean it is all bollocks.

In fact, the computer and internet server you are using are all built up, principly, on mathematics to certain degree.
