What Physical ‘Life Force’ Turns Biology’s Wheels? Evolution has created the flagellar motor, a combination propeller/brain that enables single-celled bacteria to move toward food sources. It’s an electric motor that rotates at several hundred revolutions per second — faster than the flywheel in a race car engine — to twirl a tail-like flagellum that pushes the cell along. When the flagellar motor rotates counterclockwise, it propels the cell through the water 10 or more times its own length in a second. https://bit.ly/4vISKM5 #Evolution #creationalism #biology

Apologetics: Atheism Confuses Me – The Religion That Denies Being a Religion. As I’ve been studying various religions as an elective for my senior year, I have come to the realization that atheism – despite the vehement claims of its followers – is a religion, whether you like it or not. After all, if you look at the definition of “religion,” Google defines it as, “The belief in and worship of a superhuman power or powers, especially a God or gods.” From this definition, though atheism denies the existence of God or other gods and, for the most part, lacks any sort of organization or liturgy (unless you count the Satanic Temple or Church of Satan,) its core tenants rely on the belief in the superhuman powers of nature in varying forms. Just think about it for a sec. Atheists, in their pursuit to deny the existence of God, direct their subconscious need for faith in something beyond themselves to nature and Man’s creation (which Paul talked about in Romans 1.) In the absence of God, they turn to various forms of naturalism, materialism, etc. or a combination of various “-isms,” making those the ultimate forces that run the universe. They even have doctrines (though they wouldn’t call them that) in the form of theories such as evolution. Ironically, though atheists would say that their beliefs are based on science and thus, isn’t blind faith, much less religion, there is very little to support their theories. For example, with evolution, while it’s treated as scientific fact, it’s been shown that often, what’s taught about it in the classroom is faulty at best, completely fraudulent at worst. Further, with the belief that the world randomly exploded into being from nothing, this is faulty as it relies on the belief that things can spontaneously generate from nothing through the power of…well, they’ll have to get back to you on how exactly nature did that. That’s also not mentioning the absurdity of the belief that things could become more complex through chance and time. But don’t worry. The atheists are convinced that as science advances, perhaps we’ll figure out how it happened, maybe through a couple hundred more theories that are ultimately untestable. How this isn’t blind faith in the power of science and various theories is beyond me. Additionally, atheism could be considered a sort of pantheistic religion. Pantheism is the belief that God is one with the universe and vice versa. That means that you, your house, the pebble in your shoe, and what your cat left in the litterbox are all God. In the case of atheism, the reason why I say that it could be considered to be a pantheistic religion is because it treats nature as God. And since humans are a part of nature, man is treated almost on the level of a god in the atheist mindset as the final arbiter of truth. Basically, atheism is a religion in denial that it’s a religion, constantly gaslighting itself and its followers to continue in its delusional belief that it’s purely secular.

Ancient coupling may have happened more between human females and Neanderthal males. From @AssociatedPress@flipboard.com: "How exactly this happened remains a huge question mark. Did human women venture into Neanderthal populations, or were the Neanderthal males drawn to larger human enclaves?" https://flip.it/gy1hWg #Anthropology #Science #Human #Evolution #Neanderthal

Danke, @Zugfreundin@nrw.social - ich verstehe die Skepsis, die uns v.a. auch anfangs entgegenschlug. Aber nach bald 30 Jahren glücklicher #Ehe und drei wunderbaren, gemeinsamen Kindern glauben wir eigentlich nicht mehr, dass wir noch irgendwem etwas beweisen müssten. Ob Sie alle oder einige Religionen sowie Familienformen, Dialog und Zusammenleben emotional ablehnen wollen, kann und will ich nicht bestimmen. Und über die Langstrecke ist es dann ja eh biokulturelle #Evolution ! 🙂🙌 https://www.spektrum.de/magazin/homo-religiosus/982255

All-new in SEP, Jason Marsh's Evolutionary Approaches to Religion, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/religion-evolutionary/ Davin Hunt and Linda Zagzebski have also revised their "classical" entry on Foreknowledge and Free Will, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/free-will-foreknowledge/ I still remember studying that article for the first time. The theme was of no interest to me, but Zagzebski's skill in thinking aloud just fascinated a philosophically infested fellow earthling. #sep #philosophy #filosofia #new #religion #philosophyOfReligion #uskonto #uskontotiede #evolution #evolutionary #tieto #knowledge #foreknowledge #ennakko #tahto #vapaaTahto #will #freeWill #fatalism

Hallo ihr lieben Tooter, Zeit für einen #vorstellungspost und ein #neuhier 🤓 Nach einem Bio-Studium mit Schwerpunkt #Ökologie und einem Volontariat am #Naturkundemuseum #Stuttgart war ich 2,5 Jahre in #Ulm #Museumspädagoge und bin das seit 2025 im Naturkundemuseum #Bamberg 🦕 Bisher hab ich auf Instagram viel Edutainment gemacht, nun will ich ins Fediverse vorstoßen - mittelfristig mit einem PeerTube-Kanal zu #Natur, #Evolution, #Dinos und #Erdgeschichte mit meiner #Sammlung von #Fossilien ☠️

I haven’t actually finished any of the books that I’ve already started reading, but I’m going to start to read this today and hope to finish it before the day is over.

#ViernesDeEscritorio #DesktopFriday Etwas verspätet und wenn man sich anschaut was gerade in der Welt durch Trump Passiert hat es noch nie mehr sinn gemacht auf Properitäre Systeme aus Amerika zu verzichten. Mein Desktop unter Fedora 43 die Nutzung von Linux und Open Source Software mit entsprechenden Messengern und Mail Anwendungen und ohne Google / Microsoft / Apple und mit KI dann wenn ich sie haben möchte ist und bleibt einfach eine bessere und auch Nachhaltigerer und vor allem Selbs bestimmender Umgang mit Informationstechnologie. #DailyDesktop #ShareYourDesktop #UnixPorn #mywork #duisburg #fedora43 #gnulinux #Linux #mydesktop #opensource #fedora #libreoffice #fairphone4 #murenacloud #evolution #digitaleselbstbestimmung #onlyoffice #digitaleselbstverteidigung #digitalenachhaltigkeit #signal #telegram #Verschlüsselung #openpgp #rkhunter #lynis #firewall
