This is what I posted over at evcforum some days ago, but to no
response.

--
Creationism is really just quite straighforward valid science, it is
also common knowledge which we use every day, and really can't do
without. Far from being unscientific, creationism covers a huge, and
rich class of knowledge, which knowledge is oppressed by mainstream
science because mainstream science can't deal with things turning out
one way or another, indeterminacy.

Creationist theory depends on the three principles of creator, act of
creation, and the created object. I will illustrate the principles of
creationism with Michealangelo's painting in the sixtine chapel.

The creator:

Who is Michealangelo? It is not sufficient in creationism (or actually
it is mostly irellevant) to say how tall Michaelangelo is, or how much
he weighs in considering him as the creator of the painting. Within the
context of creationism identity-issues are solely about who is
Michealangelo as the owner of his choices. Who is Michaelangelo in his
heart, in his soul etc. Who does Michealangelo love and hate etc. Who
Michaelangelo is this way can only be approached subjectively by
relating your spirit to his, through your own choices.

To somehow pretend to make some objective appraisal of who
Michealangelo is in his heart, to try to rule out subjectivity from
judgement, merely results in coldhearted merciless judgement. But it is
a judgement nevertheless, and such knowledge of the heart can never
attain the status of fact.

So in this sense of identity-issues creationism is not objective, and
generally opposes objectivity. There is no science about who
Michaelangelo is as the owner of his choices, this is an art of
judgement. So creationism here stands opposed by social-darwinist
pseudoscience, such as evolutionary psychology, which proposes to
objectively know emotions. So the statement "Michaelangelo is a loving
person", might be a statement of fact to an evolutionary psychologist,
but the same statement is regarded as an art of judgement by a
creationist. Also what pseudoscientists commonly do is to assert as
objective fact that a decision has no spiritual or emotional owner at
all (such selfproclaimed "objective" assertions of lack of spirit are
usually attached to findings of randomness).

The act of creation:

Creation is an effort of choice. Unlike identity issues, this is simply
science. We may simply search and find the precise location of a
decision. At this location we will find nothing, or zero, meaning no
material, also called creatio-ex-nihilo. Why we find nothing at the
location of a decision is because material predetermines a result. Our
consideration of material is based on a past effecting a present. So it
would make no sense if we would find a material thing at the location
of a decision, because material, in our concept of it, only
predetermines, and never decides.

Consider for instance Michaelangelo choosing what to do in painting the
picture. Now if we consider Michaelangelo merely as a material object,
we might suppose that the painting just flows directly from some
genius-genes mediated by the environment unto the canvas. But the
problem with such a theory is that it negates the possibility of an
alternative result. So in this materialist scenario there is no actual
choosing, because any alternative result is impossible.

So it is demonstrated, merely by definition, that it is impossible that
we would find a material thing at the location of a decision, because
of the impossiblity of material leading to an alternative.

The evidence is, that there is indeed nothing at the point of decision.
Some credible scientists told me that the origin of randomness in a
zener-diode was at the socalled "quantum mechanical zeropoint". From
this point random noise is generated, meaning more or less, one can't
deduce the pattern of electrons coming out of the diode, from the
pattern of electrons coming into the diode. So it means the "pattern"
of electrons is decided at the precise location of the qmz-point.

Some scientists consider the qmz point real, and that nothing exists
there, others consider the qmz-point not real, since there is nothing
there.

Further evidence to illustrate the logical coherency of the creationist
interpretation of quantum mechanics in terms of chances getting
decided, is the probability-distribution of an electron around an atom.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:HAtomOrbitals.png

The creationist interpretation of this picture is that at the qmz point
(which is in the center of the probabilitydistribution) is the location
where the chance where the electron might be is decided. So this theory
says among other things that;

- the location of the electron changes per decision

- and consequently that there is a speed or sequence of decisions

- it says that chances are basically real, and inhabit the future

- it says the location where the decision is made on the chance where
the electron ends up, is not neccessarily the same as the location
where the electron ends up. So the decision is at one location, the
result may be at another location.

Now we have basically "seen" how creationism is true, seen a chance,
and seen the location at which the decision on the chance is made.

>From these basic assertions of fact follows the question, how does one
decision relate to another decision?

The creation:

The creation in the sense of relating one decision to another, is only
an informational entity. We derived the principle of creation from the
principle of choosing, the simplest representation of choices are
binary in the sense of 1 or 0. And so we must guess that somehow from
choosing we derive informational entities constructed in terms of
zero's and ones.

When Michealangelo created his painting, the purpose of his painting
was not so much the painting itself, but it was for instance, the
decision whether he liked the painting or not. So we can see how in
creation one decision relates to another, and the creation (the
painting) is the medium by which one decision relates to another.

And it is a similar principle with God and His original creation by
choice of His free will, which choice in the end will relate to another
decision, which is of course His Final Judgement on judgementday.

Some more points for consideration:

- the point at which a chance changes, or is realized or negated
(becomes 1 or 0), is called a decision. So creationist science is
largely based around tracing back the probabilities of the appearance
of a thing, to the decisions at which those probabilities were
determined. One might easily imagine this for instance in terms of a
line chart of the probability of human beings coming to be. For
instance we might say that the probability of people appearing later
on, was already 90 percent at the start of the universe, given normal
development of the universe. And so we might draw a chart where the
probability goes up and down, and every turn in the chart relates to a
decision at a location, until final appearance. That is how creationist
science works.

- decisions relate a future of chances to a present, effects relate a
past of causes to a present. One must always be aware of the
timeperspective when criticizing creationism, because creationism is
not a cause and effect principle, it is a principle of free will. It is
very easy to fall into the trap of discounting creationism by applying
the usual rules for criticizing scientific theories. Many of these
rules in science only apply to cause and effect principles, and are
irrellevant to principles of free will.

- again; the owners to decision are covered by identity-issues which
fall outside of science. Such identities can only be approached
subjectively through an art of one's own judgement. This broadly
includes emotions, spiritual, what's in the heart the soul, God etc,
all manner of judgement of good and evil, or loving and hateful etc. So
it would be no use to ask for objective evidence of God, because within
creationism such evidence is fashioned by an art of judgement.

- since emotions may be manifest at a point of decision, scientists
must be ethically constrained to investigate points of decision. The
reason why scientists are currently constrained in investigating people
for instance, should be interpreted to be because of this reason. That
is to say, we know at which location human decisons are, and we know
that emotions may be manifest at a point of decision, we know that pain
may be manifest at a point of decision, therefore we don't allow
scientists to experiment with human beings at these particular points
of decision for the reason that in doing so they may induce pain there.
The safe side of ethics demands that we acknowledge in principle a
spiritual owner to any decision anywhere.

and so on, and so on...

One can easily see that most of creationism is highly credible, because
much of the knowledge is already engrained within common knowledge, and
religion, and science also in many ways. Basically creationism is as
credible as it is credible that things may turn out one way or another.

The current mode of interpretation of quantum-mechanics which basically
omits decisions, and generally denies chances are real, has been
heavily criticized from it's conception (Schroedinger's cat for
instance). So creationism here only competes to a mode of
interpretation that has already been acknowledged as weak.

Remembering that creationism gives insight into decisions and chances,
and how one decision relates to another, decisionspeed etc., the sort
of technological application we might expect creationism to lead to are
things like:

- artificial consciousness in computers

- artifical beings of massive potential for emotions

- pseudo-superconductivity by centralizing many points of decision to
one point and so the electron will pass through a collective of atoms
per instance, rather then pass through many individual atoms per
instance.

- increased efficiency of jetengines by the atoms being blown out of
the engine being rapidly precisely stacked for optimal push ie. one
relates the points of decison one to another, giving a structure.

- teleporting of objects through the quantumtunnels that appear at
concentrated qmz-points, related to a concentration of qmz points
elsewhere

- wheathermodels that locate points of decision in the weathersystem

Well of course, these are just conjectural technological applications
that I thought of at the top of my head just now. But although the
reasoning behind these creationist technologies is lacking, it is still
reasonable to assume that there would be lots of technological
application following from science about decisions, the location of
them, how they relate to one another, the decisionspeed etc. simply
because knowledge about "decision" comprises a fundamental class of
knowledge. How much technological application follows from knowledge of
chance and decision, may be equal to how much technology followed from
knowledge of cause and effect, these are both fundamental classes of
knowledge.

One may find in nature "natural democracies", and "natural
dictatorships", that is to say that there is a potential for rich and
meaningful knowledge of structures of decisionpoints that exist
presently in nature, but are outside of our sight simply because we
aren't looking for points of decision. And so creationism gets us
closer to the truth, which was the purpose in the first place.

That's probably because you're writing incomprehensible essays about an
incoherent worldview (based on fatal misunderstanding of everything
from biology to mathematics) that no one, even other creationists,

However much you disparrage creationist conception of choice, we all
know that Darwinist conception of choice is generally along the lines
of Konrad Lorenz, Ernst Heackel, Cosmides, Tooby, Dawkins, Dennet,
Rushton etc. conception of it.

That is to say the Darwinist conception of choices revolve around
nazism, racism and atheism.

You are just mistaken, every creationist believes along these lines of
creator, the act of creation, and the created object.

That many creationists do not know the exact location of a choice on a
quantum-mechanical level, does not mean that they think choices are not
real, or that choices are irrellevant in creation science.

Interesting. I see none of the usual "creationism" stuff about how old
life is, which species are related to which others, etc.

What I did see is much like the ID rants.

You do realize that by calling your "theory" "creationism" you
undermine the IDers' efforts to distance themselves from creationism?

Actually I should give you credit for taking it beyond ID and almost
completely conceding evolution. That quantum indeterminacy could be
where the Creator (or designer) intervenes was suggersted by an
"evolutionist" and chief critic of ID and creationism, Kenneth Miller.
Of course the difference is that he doesn't pretend that such
speculation is science.

You must have some private definition of "creation theory", and some
completely alien definition of "science".

Oh. Still on that strawman line of idiocy, I see.

Right off the bat, false analogy, since we have evidence of the existance of
a painter, Michelangelo, and his paintings, the Sistine Chapel among others,
including sculptures.

Blathercrap. Michelangelo was this guy, y'know.

It is a fact that a guy by the name of Michelangelo existed. How I feel
about that is irrelevent. What kind of person he was is irrelevent, and
what he had for breakfast on Jan 17th, 1555 is also irrelevent.

That's a load of blathercap, and in no way supports anything that *might*
resemble some sort of "creationist theory".

This "decision" line of reasoning is idiotic. But that particular strawman

You cannot change the past. I'm sure it would be great fun to speculate
about different outcomes if Michelangelo had access to a good camera and a
computer automated paint by number machine, but that is irrelevent.

And you are wrong, since Michelangelo is an intelligent being. What this
has to do with "creationist theory" is anyone's guess.

What God? Are you proceeding from an a priori conclusion? That's

Find another word, or make one up for that concept, since "decision" is too
easily equivocated, which you do constantly.

By looking at history, drawing some squiggly lines based upon wild assed

No, creationism only competes because soem people have no clue as to how
science actually works, and want to prop up their personal religious beliefs
by attempting to lend credibility to their religious belief by pretending
their religious belief has scientific justification, and thereby,
validationg their religious belief by claiming it has scientific support.

"Creationism" would not be needed in making any sort of decisions in those
matters, unless you are equating "moral" with creationsim, in which case,
you are again attempting to usurp the word for you own made-up use.

In none of your above examples have you demonstrated any way to practically
apply your "creationism theory", though you are clearly stateing that there
is a practical application. Care to provide a demonstration of that
practical application?

No. It is nothing but a religious dogma, and has no practical application
at all. None. Not only that, it doesn't even explain natural phenomena for
the sake of curiosity. it's worthless rubish.

That is simply because you ignore everything Dawkins, Lorenz, Heackel,

Darwinists have to say about those things.

Whatever. You will basically find no science about choices outside of
creation science. What all these Darwinists object to, and find crazy,
is *any* science about choices.

That is choices in the way we usually understand them, as having a
possible alternative outcome. There's lots of Darwinist science about
choices which don't have an alternative possible outcome. It's the kind
of choices people have in dictatorships, without alternatives.

If I drop a rock, it has no "choice" in not falling. The only "decision"
being made is me deciding to drop the rock. The rock does not hover in the
air for any amount of time trying to "decide" to fall since there is no mind
in the rock, it just falls under the influance of gravity. That is
something completely different than people living under a dictatorship,
political or theocratic.

One has to wonder what sort of mental trauma you've experianced that makes
you whinge about "choice" and "Decision Point" the way you do. Did
something bad happen to you, and you're looking for someone to blame?

I am just referring to Darwinist concept of choice, where organism are
said to choose the option that gives the greatest chance of survival,
eventhough it is admitted the organism can't possibly choose the option
which has lesser chance of survival. So it is a choice without possible
alternatives, and that is generally how Darwinists think about choices.

Generally also the behaviour of Darwinists is just a logical function
of the scientific method. They don't actually choose anything. We could
just program the scientifc method into a computer, and we would have a
Darwinst automaton. And every time you put in the same material
scenario, which may lead to one of several possible results, the
computer would give the message <error does not compute>, same as you
all do here, because the scientific method can't handle indeterminacy.

To my best knowledge, none of them have said anything about choices
and/or emotions that would be somehow objectionable or impossible to
accommodate with Christian beliefs. Dawkins is a vocal atheist, but
that doesn't detract from the quality of his scientific works.

Wow. No one says that organisms choose options that give them greatest
survival. Many 'options' are 'chosen' by random mutation. Natural
selection favors those 'options' which give the greatest chance of
survival. Its really quite simple. There are possible alternatives,
they just don't lead to survival, and thus die out.

You can choose whether to drink poison or not. If you choose do so, you
die and can make no further choices. If you choose not to drink the
poison, you live on until your next life-or-death choice.

Waht are you babbling about? Are you talking about an individual organism
9some of which have no brains or ability to "reason", or are you talking
about the filter effect of natural selection? If the former, "decision"
does not always apply if the latter, NS is not a "decision" in the "thought

Individual organisms don't evolve; populations do. An individual
organism doesn't get a choice of what genes it has, and very little

[snip]

Scientific theories are based upon evidence. A valid scientific theory must
explain the evidence. What is the evidence that creationism explains, and
what is the creationist explanation? How does creationism explain the order
and forms of fossil species? How does creationism explain the similarities
and differences in the biochemistry of various species? How does
creationism explain the similarities and differences in the anatomy of
various species? How does creationism explain the existence of shared
pseudogenes?

Spoken with a tone of authority, but.. you don't know the first thing
about choices. Steven has no clue at all what he is talking about
folks.

Ah the reason Steven refers to some unnamed works that supposedly deal
with indeterminacy, is because he can't handle indeterminacy.

I refer you to Bohr's interpretation of quantum-mechanics, and
Schroedinger's cat counter example to Bohr. That example fairly
indicates how far scientists can actually handle indeterminacy. It is a
big joke of cat's being alive and dead at the same time, that is how
much scientists can handle indeterminacy.

It is just a charade being played here people. When it comes down to it
Darwinists such as Stew Dean and Andre Isaak which I have just debated,
and countless other Darwinists I have debated before them, they *all*
without *any* exception, don't affirm indeterminacy as a scientific
fact. It is solely creationists who affirm indeterminacy as a
scientific fact, and that is because creationists accept the concept of
choice, and the concept of a spiritual owner to choices.

?? science doesn't need what you say it needs. it's useless. and
science does not 'oppress' anything. science is decentralized, spread
around the world. it is not a church, not a religious belief with a
vatican or magisterium to decide what to 'oppress'.

your paranoia is typical, however, of religious fanatics.

irrelevant. cold hearted merciless judgement exists. if you toss a coin
it really doesn't matter what you WANT the result to be. the result

good luck. try walking out a 10 story window. see how merciless nature

That's because, unless you are researching religious beliefs, there's no
reason to take religious beliefs into account. If a scientists is
researching isotope decay rates, what does his religious beliefs have to do
with the research?

That is utter bullshit. *Looking* for alternative outcomes of experiments
are integral to the scientific method. If an experiment is conducted using
the same parameters yeald completely different results, then something is
wrong with the experiment, or the theory underlying the experiment.

There you have it folks, if an experiment gives several possible

but the conclusion is that the experiment or the theory is wrong.

They dismiss *you* concept of "spiritual ownership" because "spiritual
ownership" is irrelevent. You've never been able to provide *any* logical
reason to include the condept of "spiritual ownership" in any event that has
any "alternate outcome" based upon some "decision" having to be made when
the "choice" does not involve a concious entity making a "decision", such as
which path a stone will take when it rolls down a hill as a result of
errosion.

There is no separation of mind from brain. The heart pumps blood. The
emotions you assign to the heart are a combination of biochemicals and

The context is the talk.origins forum, where, to judge from the posts
that appear, creationists are very badly outnumbered (and even among
creationists, those who see "indeterminacy" or "choice" (which are not
the same concept at all) as central to creationism are few indeed.

So people are "obviously" not really people unless they agree with you.
That is a reprehensible choice of stances, a decision to dehumanize
your opponents and legitimize their persecution rather than engage
their ideas. Of course, that assumes it is a choice; perhaps, as a
total loon, you simply can't help taking that position any more than a
rock can help falling when it's dropped.

You have never shown the precise location at which it is decided which
path the stone takes. In fact you don't believe there exist such a
point of decision anywhere in nature, you don't believe the stone could
roll down any alternative way. This is well shown by you putting the
word decision between quotationmarks.

Yes folks it is impossible to describe possible alternatives without
using the concept of decision to denote the point at which the one
alternative possibility is resolved from the other. And you see that
this Darwinist doesn't even accept the concept of decision *at all*,
which is why he puts the word between quotes.

Let's see. The human brain traces multiple possibilities to their
conclusion and then compares those conclusions to stored memory in a big
feedback loop. Seems like the human brain can develop and choose between
alternatives without some imaginary soul.

You know, I think I've _finally_ found out what you mean when you say
"choice."

And, I might add, you are quite correct - both I and the rest of the
scientific community deny that it exists. The universe is not
schizophrenic. It operates according to certain laws that cannot be
disobeyed unless other laws act in counter. Variance can occur on the
quantum scale, that is all. A rock can not choose to not-fall, gravity
_will_ act on it and drag it to the ground. Air resistance _will_ act on
the fall and push it upwards with less force than gravity pulls. Gravity
cannot choose to not-pull. Air resistance cannot choose to not-counter.

Any Christian who accepts that is obviously no longer a Christian.

Of course what you write is merely pseudoscience, and most all
scientists do actually recognize such rubbish as you write as
pseudoscience. Most scientists simply acknowledge the weakness of
science in dealing with indeterminacy, in stead of mindlessly asserting

They do not accept evolution base upon their religious beliefs, they accept
evolution based upon the evidence, and most would probably say they believe
that evolution is the tool God used to create man, but at the same time,
they would point out that that is their *belief*, an is not grounded in
evidence., but *only* belief.

There is no "decision" involved, precies or otherwise. Rocks roll down a
hill completely devoid of any "decision" on the part of the rock because the
rock has no mind.

That's because I refuse to allow you to equivocate. "decision" could mean
the result of a concious evaluation of possible paths by a concious entity.
I am not going to let you get away with the rhetorical trickery of
equivocation. It's as simple as that.

Actually, I think thye are seeing that you are playing word games
(equivocation), and they don't need me to point that out. And you are wrong
when you claim that I do not accept the concept of "decision", I accept the
concept of decisions when a mind is involved. The problem is that you seem
to think rocks have a mind of their own, and decide how to roll down a hill.
If that were so, how come nobodies ever seen a rock fall from the bottom of
a hill or cliff to the top of the hill or cliff? If a rock had a mind and
could make decisions, why haven't any decided to fall to the top of a cliff
for a better view?

Big feedback loop, means big gaping hole of ignorance about choices.
One can well see that you have reduced choice to calculation and....
there aren't actually possible alternatives in a calculation as you

I will freely admit that not so many creationists would acknowledge the
location of decision being at the center of a probability distribution.


But you are quite mistaken that creationists do not acknowledge
decisions everywhere.

One may typically hear creationists speak of changes in the weather in
terms of acts of God. This generally denotes the power of God to act
anywhere, rather then that it denotes that God actually did act in the
weather at that particular time. But such talk shows that the principle
of decisions that are spiritually owned is universally recognized among
creationists.

No. Variations in orbits are due to gravitational effects of other

Nando's brain can only put out what is stored there. He cannot take

Hard to argue with a ROM. To him, if you buy into the theory of
evolution, you are either a Nazi, a racist, or an atheist.

Weird dude, this guy. He uses words like 'decision' and 'choice' in
some strange way -- certainly not the way I would consider normal.

Perhaps English is not his first language.

I like that bit where you have Michealangelo [sic] as the
creator (although you perhaps meant Michelangelo).

He may have been a great artist, but just how did he create the
world and life as well?

Perhaps if you could get the creation thing right, then the rest
of your "theory" would be improved. (But it still wouldn't be valid.)

Figures of speech do not a philosophy make. Everybody, including
atheists, refer to random events as "acts of God" because that's how the
English language works.

You want to replace "Event X happened due to reason Y, which we can
study" with "Even X happened due to reason God, and we have no idea why
he did it so we cannot predict what will happen in the future."

That's far less useful and, more importantly, you cannot prove that it
is true.

I did not seperate mind from brain, I haven't discussed mind at all,
you are just singing your own song. As you know superpositions don't
just occur within brains. So if one equates superpositions to mind...

Of course what Penrose says isn't even a hypothesis for failure to
describe how to go from superposition to actual position. One can't
avoid the concept of decison, and the only good reason to avoid the
concept of decison is because one isn't man enough to have to face the
ethical discipline of respecting spiritual ownership to choices. People
do not actually allow their choices to be investigated without an art
of respect to them as the owners to their choices. That is the real
world where values have to be acknowledged.

Of course I can. Allow me to represent an analogy for you. If I am told
to roll a die and call my number, I will get somewhere between 1 and 6.
If I am to roll two dice and call the highest number, I will also get
somewhere between 1 and 6, but the odds are no longer equivalent. There
is a 1/36 chance that I get a 1, and a 11/36 chance that I get a 6. The
more dice I roll, the less chance that I get a 1, and the higher the
chance that I get a 6. Likewise, while a single electron may be wildly
unpredictable, on average, they pretty much do as we expect. If I put an
electric potential over a piece of copper wire, electrons will run
through the wire. Sure, some of them may decide to do some funny quantum
movement and take a trip to Mars, but on average, I'll have power
running through the wire. Statistics covers this very nicely.

Again I'm fairly confident that *lots* of useful technological
application will follow from science that finds the location of
decisions at a quantum mechanical level.

Also lots of beautiful art of judgement will follow from creationist
acknowledgement of identity-issues as the owners to decisions as
subjective.

In the Blind Watchmaker Dawkins tried to compete in beauty to art of
judgement of the eye to Paley in his Natural Theology. But he merely
ended up as like a salesman of stereo-equipment hyping the eye.
Certainly novel, and exciting, but also narrow and highly forceful.

What? Are you saying creationists don't know art when they see it or are you
saying creationists suffer from sort of identity issues? In a way, you seem
t0 also be implying that creationists have problems in their decision
making. So, it seems like you're saying creationists are "mental". I'll
agree to that, in a certain context of the word "mental" (as in "mental
case").

Man, if that's all you're talking about, all you're referring to, why do
you keep saying that evolution denies this? Evolution _depends_ on
quantum effects - it's the only thing that keeps our bodies together,
and you can't have mutation without quantum. The ToE doesn't reject QM
at all.

"We all know" is just untrue, I, for one, do not know. Please explain, what
research supports your statement?

How does nazism, racism and atheism enter into the theory of evolution? In
case you have overlooked it, the ToE is based on observations and facts,
have you studied any of those? Besides, the ToE is older than Darwin - and
Darwin is definitely older that nazism, albeit not older that
fundamentalistic religious fanaticism. As for the latter, it seems to be at
least as ugly as the other.

What actually do you mean by 'conception of choice', where does that concept
apply, please expand.

To me, your reasoning seems so disconnected from reality that it makes no
sense at all. Why not try to be coherent and create meaningful sentences,
like I do?

For instance a *friend* of Dawkins said that Dawkins theory logically
seemed to lead to racism. Dawkins then argued against that, but that
even those sympathetic to Dawkins would see the link to racism proves
that everybody knows that Darwinist conceptions revolve around it, if
not giving absolute validity to the belief.

> How does nazism, racism and atheism enter into the theory of evolution? In

The theory of evolution is based on denying creation, it is based on
denying free behaviour, it is based on reconstructing emotions and
choices as not free but mechanical. Choices that arise from the blood,
choices with the goal of preserving the race in the struggle for
existence, choices solely with a material owner in the blood or
environment, and no spiritual owner in the heart and soul.

ok so we have in sequence in time:

religious fanaticism-evolution-darwin-nazism

Now we have the sequence, but we do not have any logic.

> As for the latter, it seems to be at

ok so then nazism is at least as ugly as fundamentalistic religious
fanaticism.

Racism has been around since as long as there were people, and has no
basis in science. Naziism didn't emerge until nearly three quarters of a
century after Darwin published OoS, so to claim his ideas revolved
around Naziism would be an anachronism.

I'm still at quite a loss to get my head around this peculiar claim that
there is 'nothing' at the 'point of a decision'. You claim that there
must be 'nothing' because decisions are 'spiritual' and therefore not
material. Does this mean that non-material things must push away
material things to make room for themselves? Wouldn't that sort of
suggest that they are material after all?

I suggest that you go and design some of these things then. If you can
actually show us some of these astounding applications at work, we might
begin to take you seriously. Promisory notes of astounding, not to
mention hypothetical, future accomplishments, don't carry much weight,
however.

That is a rather strained bit of "evidence" for your claim. One person
making a claim does not mean 'everyone knows' about a link, that's tenuious
at best. The supposed "fact" that someone that Dawkins knows once
supposedly made a statement does not "prove" what you claim, or even lend it
much support.

No, the theory of evolution is based on explaining the physical evidence of
evolution.

The theory of evolution does not "deny" free behavior, and is certianly not
based on such a belief.

The theory of evolution has nothing to do with "choices" or emotions.

"Choices" don't arise from the blood. Blood is a fluid that carries oxygen
and nutition to the cells.

There is no "goal" of preserving the "race" in evolution. The struggle for
existance is about perserving the individual in order to pass on his or her
genes. The concept of "race" has nothing to do with this.

> choices solely with a material owner in the blood or

Science doesn't recognize "spiritual owership" of anything, as there is no
evidence of such. "Choices" is a concept that evolution does not deal with
at all.

Well, you don't at least. Religious fantatics have been along much longer
than evolutionary theory. the concept of evolution has been around longer
than Darwin, who proposed a workable theory by which evolution is explained.
Nazism came along much later, and was not based on evolution, but earlier
ideas of racism and tribalism.

I've read your postings. They dosn't provide any better explanation of
what you mean by "choice". You seem to have some kind of idea that
physical laws and properties are due to some being choosing between
eventualities. You haven't explained how that woluld work, or why we
should accept your claims.

Scientific racism is routinely studies in sociology classes. It is
merely wishful thinking that it doesn't exist. Now scientific racism is
gaining in strength again especially in China, but also in the West
racist theory is gaining favour. It's also an established fact of
history that scientific racism increased much in magnitude after
publication of the Origin of Species. The reasons for that can be found
in the theory of natural selection, especially as the theory is applied
to mankind, since the theory applied to mankind is much
indistinghuishable from racism.

Metaphysical claims do not constitute facts. Neither do their denials,
which is why I have always remained non-committal on this issue.

Fate and predestination play a role in many religious belief systems,
including ones which assume divine creation, so it clearly is not the
case that *all* creationists affirm the existence of indeterminacy; nor
is it the case that science denies this which is precisely why Steven
raised the QM example. Some interpretations of QM do try avoid
indeterminacy, but certainly not all. The Copenhagen interpretation,
which is, I believe, the most standard one, does not deny indeterminacy.

So what actual evidence do you have that this is not, in fact, the way
things work? How can we determine whether alternatives results could, in
