[MD] Evolution's new wrinkle:

[Arlo Bensinger]

[Arlo had asked]
C'mon, see if your next post will actually contain one answer, or are 
you too much a coward to step up and profess The Great Qualigod?

[Platt]
your attempts at flattery are a wonder to behold.

[Arlo]
Answer. Your post did not contain one answer, as I expected. Sad. 
Here are the questions again, should you ever muscle up the courage 
to have an honest discussion.

If you deride "just getting lucky", then I presume that in your view, 
with "luck" having no part of it, you were "planned to be here"?

If so, who did the planning? Did the subatomic particles get together 
and say "let's organize into a Universe and create Platt"? Did the 
first biological cells collectively go "hmm, what if we all joined 
together and made this thing called a human body?"That is, is the 
"planning" of your teleology carried out by the lower-level patterns?

Is this a "one-off" teleology (biological cells deliberated and 
planned to produce social pattern)? Or is it removed the level where 
subatomic quarks "planned" to make Platt?

Or is the level of "planning" carried out "outside" the system by 
some external architect? Long before there was anything but Quality, 
before the simplest of the simplest inorganic patterns were formed, 
there sat Quality coming up with a Master Plan to create and set into 
motion the Universe with the sole intent of creating "man"? (Was 
Qualigod's intent "personal" (did he plan to make YOU specifically) 
or impersonal (his plan stopped at creating the species, but once 
there he he no control).

In your derision of "oop", the alternative you allude to is The Great 
"Poof!" of Qualigod (Abracadabra!). And yet you lack the balls to 
even argue this outright, preferring instead to dole out only 
distortive and distractive rhetoric. But let's get back to these 
questions... see if you can answer them now.

1. In the historic timeline, what changed between the time when 
primates had consciousness and the time when they did?

2. If consciousness have evolved over time, from early primates to 
modern man, HOW does that evolution occur?

3. You deride others with your glib "oops", what do you offer other 
than "Abracadabra! Poof!"?

4. If you disagree with "unintended consequences", does that you mean 
offer "intended planning"? So which is it, did the atoms "plan" to 
make human bodies? Or were they simply made to do so by an external 
Qualigod enacting his "plan"? If neither of these two, then which?
