Many generations ago the ancestors of humans were not humans, where was the division between man and not man.
Is Unity as 1 equivalent to Causality?

defined by the creature who lays it...
which chicken told you this?

Re: Is Unity as 1 equivalent to Causality?
The answer is in the point you made "division". Man gave birth to man. Their is not missing link and rumor is that evolution is starting to "dye out", in regards to the version where man came from "x" organism. I want to emphasize that as "rumor" though.
The argument lies in definition. Man may be new, according to your argument, but hominids still gave birth so man is strictly and extension of the hominid and hominids existed all along. Or man existed all along and changed in grades. Change in grades not necessitate change in form. Blue may differ from red but both are grades of light.
Re: Is Unity as 1 equivalent to Causality?
No, Hominids did not exist all along, hominids evolved from other organisms that were not hominids. You post like you are getting your information from a YEC site, and that information is wrong.Eodnhoj7 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 25, 2017 11:44 pm The argument lies in definition.

Evolution is not dying out as you claim, except to creationist who try go give a false reading to the fossil record. All species are transitional species form one species to another, humans will evolve into something else that may not be human as we know it.

Good present the evidence as humans "lost" many of the evolutionary benefits their ancestors had (long hair, strength, stronger bones/ligaments, etc.). The standard "missing" link questions has also not be answered. Also certain bacteria, we theoritically evolved from, can exist in environments we cannot. Complexity does not equal adapting to the environment and surviving.thedoc wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2017 1:14 amNo, Hominids did not exist all along, hominids evolved from other organisms that were not hominids.

If you are arguing for the evolutionary idea where we "adapt" to the environment, through change, then yes I agree with that.
In regards to the "evolution dying out", if you look at the post I stated it as "rumor". A rumor is a rumor, not strict fact. Some religious organizations, such as the Catholic Church hold your theory to be non-contradictory. So I am arguing neither for or against a religious perspective, as it is unnecessary.
The problem is that evolution is based upon cycles of adaptation, as the basic unit (cells, etc.) remain as one of the same causal elements. These degrees of change, manifests through the cause, observe many differences in a linear format however the cause is still rotating through itself.
Example with "a" equaling cause and (x,y,z,yz) equaling causal grades (effects): a → ax → ay → az → ayz
"a" continualling rotates through the linear procression of the causal grades as it is an ever present unifying median.
Effect cannot exist without cause for effect is strictly an approximate cause; therefore a cause in itself.

An effect existing with a cause is strictly a human experience and does not dictate how the universe operates.
Re: Is Unity as 1 equivalent to Causality?
The human experience is an extension of the universe and in these respects the observation of cause and effect was a result of the universe and not man according to your logic, that is assuming the universe is superior. The universe argues for cause and effect whenever a person argues for it.thedoc wrote: ↑Fri Oct 27, 2017 12:25 amhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_ ... _evolutionEodnhoj7 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2017 9:16 pm Good present the evidence as humans "lost" many of the evolutionary benefits their ancestors had (long hair, strength, stronger bones/ligaments, etc.).

"This timeline is based on studies from anthropology, paleontology, developmental biology, morphology, and from anatomical and genetic data. It does not address the origin of life, which discussion is provided by abiogenesis, but presents one possible line of evolutionary descent of species that eventually led to humans"
****It presents one possible line, it does not argue it exists. Arguing possibility and actuality are two seperate things.
An effect existing with a cause is strictly a human experience and does not dictate how the universe operates.
You yourself admit to not knowing how the universe operates, and if this is the case and you consider "possibilities" as proof, then by default you contradict yourself.
Also you have not defined "effect" at all for you argument. You strictly leave it "definitionless" or negative in structure. In these respects, considering effect is defined within my presented argument, a positive is always considered proof over a negative.

OK, deny the evidence and propose a possibility instead.
