Darwin’s Rival: Alfred Russel Wallace and the Search for Evolution-TIES Webinar w/ Christiane Dorion

[@franciscogomes4416]

As a Brazilian myself and evolutionary Biologist. I am glad that both Wallace and Darwin visit Brasil ( Darwin visited it twice). We need to maintain Brasil’s diversity intact.

[@MengHuaHung]

Wallace stayed in Brazil with Henry Walter Bates for 5 years. And Bates stayed in Brazil for 11 years.

Félix de Azara already hinted the concept of evolution in "Viajes por la América Meridional" half a century before Darwin and Wallace. In fact, Darwin quoted Félix countless times in his work, especially in "The Voyage of the Beagle". That's why historians believe that Darwin used to carry a copy of Félix's book in his travels.

[@tabularasa0606]

Darwin's real breakthrough was the mechanism by which it happens. Natural selection.

[@m.x.]

Exactly!

wonderful research and i will read your book ,..Thanks

If evolution is right ? We don't need God🙊🙊

We don't need God to explain the origins of species, but a belief in God may provide some people with some less tangible benefits, according to some of those people.

So your only need for god is to push evolution forward?

[@adm0iii]

Can an all-powerful God make evolution so coherent that it makes Him nonexistent?

[@tabularasa0606]

We don't need god if it's wrong. The same way I do not need Buffy the vampire slayer, to keep the vampires at bay.

We were travelling in the desert and suddenly we found a nice big house which has many floors and wonderful garden and many animals. We entered this house but no one was inside. We found that house was containing all utilities such as water, electricity, light, food,...etc everything was well organized and well prepared. We were divided into two groups: 1- Some of us started to think and say of course this nice house exist because of the Mother Nature and there is no one built this house!! Or maybe the trees exploded and formed this wonderful house. Anyway this house is here just by luck! 2- Others said that of course this house was built by a very clever architect or designer who organized and designed this wonderful house in this beautiful way and he should built this house for reasons. The second group started to look around the house, then they found a mailing box. They opened it and found a letter. when they opened the letter, they found someone who claimed that he is the owner of this house and he knows everything on it and he says in this letter that each visitor will stay for a certain period of time and then he will be enforced to go out and continue his/her trip with no return back to this house. but u have to keep in mind that if you want to utilize all of the facilities on my house and spend good time there and when you go out to continue your trip, then u have to follow some easy instructions. And if you stuck in any trouble just tell me. (But why? the second group asked :) ) Because everyone will leave my house sooner or later, he will be accounted for all what he did in the house. the visitors who followed my instructions will get the real happiness in this house and when they went out and continue their trip they will gathered what all they need to continue their trip and they be rewarded a lot, the owner said. Actually, the first group who said this house was built by luck, they started to do many things in this house. They were feeling that there is big lack in their spirits and they don't know why, but they spent their time anyway until their time finished. Now, if I pick up two persons from the two groups. Both of them spent their entire life making shoes, then which one you will consider good and succeed in their stay at this house?? The one who don't know why he is in this house or the other one who knows exactly every step in his journey in the house and when he leave the house and gathered what he need when he go out from this house?? Let me introduce to u the heroes of this story: 1- The house is the universe and each person's life on it. 3- The letter is the Quran (before Quran it was the bible and Towra ) (this statement needs more explanation ) 4- The owner of the house: Allah, the creator of the universe 5- The second group are the believers or the right followers of prophets 6- The first group are more than half of the people on the earth now.

This is such a terrible analogy. And you really didnt have to explain it in the end...except that you had to insert your religion in there. Someone else could put their religion in the same story and it would be the same....

I think it's interesting that the phrase "Natural Selection" implies a consciousness. A "selection" is a consciousness choice between various alternatives. Can anyone come up with a phrase that expresses the idea behind "Natural Selection" that in NO WAY implies a consciousness of any kind?

Natural selection doesn’t imply a consciousness.

To bring true peace into this world, we must (each man of us) learn how to live always by the Law and the Prophets of the Lord our God, “Always treat other as you would like them to treat you” and “Love your neighbour as yourself.” All of which cannot be learned through a religion (of any kind) because religions are all led by the many wayward blind guides and false prophets who are misleading us! When the Lord has already sent Immanuel (the anointed one) called Jesus, to be always our one Teacher… “I will raise up for them a prophet like you [Moses] from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth.” - (Deuteronomy 18: 18) - “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign: A young woman is with child, and she will bear a son, and will call him Immanuel.” [“God is with us”] - (The Prophet Isaiah 7: 14) - “If you have ears to hear: then hear.” - (Jesus Immanuel the Messiah, at Mark 4: 23) - “God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” - (Jesus, at John 4: 24) - “In truth I tell you, anyone who gives heed to what I say and puts his trust in him who sent me, has hold of eternal life and does not come up for judgement, but has already passed from death to life.” - (John 5: 24) - “Beware of false prophets, men who come to you dressed up as sheep while underneath they are savage wolves. You will recognize them by the fruits they bear.” - (at Matthew 7: 15-16) - “Any plant that is not of my heavenly Father’s planting will be rooted up. Leave them alone; they are blind guides, and if one blind man guides another they will both fall into the ditch.” - (Matthew 15: 13-14) - “Do not call any man on earth ‘father’; for you have one Father and he is in heaven. Nor must you be called ‘teacher’; you have one Teacher, the Messiah.” - (Matthew 23: 9-10) - “I am the light of the world. No follower of mine shall wander in the dark; he shall have the light of life.” - (Jesus, at John 8: 12) - “Take care that no one misleads you: For many will come claiming my name…” - (Matthew 24: 4) - “Many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many; and as lawlessness spreads, men’s love for one another will grow cold. But the man who holds out to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the earth as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come.” - (Matthew 24: 11-14) - “You shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” - (John 8: 32) - “When you pray, go into a room by yourself, and shut the door. Pray to your Father who is there in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you. In your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen, who imagine that the more they say the more likely they are to be heard. Do not imitate them. Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask him. This is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, Your kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven, Give us today our daily bread, Forgive us the wrong we have done, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us. And do not bring us to the test, but save us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever. Amen. For if you forgive others the wrongs they have done, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, then the wrongs you have done will not be forgiven by your Father.” - (Matthew 6: 6-15) - “Pass no judgement, and you will not be judged. For as you judge others, so you will yourselves be judged, and whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt back to you.” - (Matthew 7: 1-2) - “Truly I tell you; if anyone obeys my teaching he shall never know what it is to die.” - (John 8: 51) - “Always treat others as you would like them to treat you: that is the Law and the Prophets. Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.” - (Matthew 7: 12-14) - “I am the gate; anyone who comes into the fold through me shall be safe. He shall go in and out and shall find pasturage. The thief comes only to steal, to kill, to destroy; I have come that men may have life, and may have it in all its fullness.” - (John 10: 9-10) - “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” - (Matthew 7: 21) - “I am the resurrection and I am life. If a man has faith in me, even though he dies, he shall come to life; and no one who is alive and has faith shall ever die.” - (John 11: 25-26) - “I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world” - (John 12: 47) - “Whoever then will acknowledge me before men, I will acknowledge him before my Father in heaven; and whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.” - (Matthew 10: 32-34) - “I am the way; I am the truth and I am life; no one comes to the Father except by me. If you knew me you would know my Father too.” - (John 14: 6-7) - “The disciples came and asked Jesus, ‘Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven?’ He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: ‘Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. If anyone causes one of these little ones-those who believe in me-to stumble, It would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!’” - (Matthew 18: 1-7) - “Though many are called, few are chosen.” - (Matthew 22: 14) - “An expert in the law, [a leading religious Pharisee] tested him with this question: ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. That is the greatest commandment. It comes first. The second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself. Everything in the Law and the Prophets hangs on these two commandments.’” - (Matthew 22: 35-40) - “There is no greater love than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friends.” - (John 15: 13) - “My task is to bear witness to the truth. For this I was born; for this I came into the world, and all who are not deaf to truth listen to my voice.” - (John 18: 37) - Yours always, in true Spirit and in our one given prayer, 2gointruth, Friday the 2nd of October, 2020: - (Matthew 5:14-16) - Where every minute (of both day and night) can be a new beginning for any one of us.

Wallace.obsrtvou nos rios amazônicos, que um tipo de.mariposa das partes altas , se diferencias da espécie das partes baixas. Ou seja, o ambiente também era um seletor natural de carecteres. E que semelhanças são essas que tanto falam entre as teorias de Wallace e Darwin. Apresentaram em conjunto em 1858? Daqui a uns dois dias vou lhes aprenstar um estudo completo sobre Wallace E Darwin

@@tabularasa0606 It was certainly not against KZbin's policies. As a long time debater against the horror of theism, I am very careful with my words (sometimes believers think I'm attacking them! Strange I know). I understand evolution is not controversial, but many theists do find offense to this (I'd say hence the book). If RDFRS is not aware of this then they shouldn't do public videos. Maybe turn off comments? And turn off Likes and dislikes too. They cannot blame or regulate me when they are promoting or allowing others to reply within Google's guidelines. Why, they are seemingly acting as an authority to what I can say. Is this the new RDFRS? Probably a big mistake. By locking out comments they are effectively stopping my free speech. Maybe get the to make a sign: All welcome - Except..... and then place all the lists of exceptions after that.
