[Krimel] Platt's endless loop and fondness for "Poof" are amusing enough but here is a bit of classic Ham, "Even Darwin acknowledged that not all members of a species evolve at the same rate."
[Arlo] Well this opens up a whole new can of sardines. My first question would be, does this apply to humans? Or were humans unique in the animal kingdom for being the only species where all members evolve at the same rate? I think he'd say the former, that he includes humans into this. Fine, I'd say, are you talking about biological evolution or the evolution of human consciousness? Now he's already said "consciousness evolves", so the natural follow-up would be, what is the process for evolution that leaves some primates with a lesser evolved consciousness than their brothers over by the river? If, as he suggests, it is a "gift from on high" and each new generation simply is given a "new and improved model", how does it come to be that some receive something less evolved than their brothers? Why does Essence give some a less evolved consciousness and others a more evolved consciousness? And, subsequently, if this is not tied to hereditary biology, does this mean that the level of evolution in consciousness among members of a species is randomly distributed? Or does Essence select certain bloodlines for his best models? But let's be real. We will never get anywhere near these questions. Hell I still have no answer to "how consciousness evolves" (correct that, I have an answer, but none from these two charlatans). No, that would be philosophical thought. That would be honest inquiry. And we can't have that in a philosophy forum, can we? We might anger Qualigod.
