10. HOW DO ‘LIVING FOSSILS’ REMAIN UNCHANGED OVER SUPPOSED HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF YEARS, IF EVOLUTION HAS CHANGED WORMS INTO HUMANS IN THE SAME TIME FRAME?
They don’t. Modern coelacanths are different from ancient coelacanths. Those resemblances in “form” that persist match the resemblance in environment. Exactly what would be expected.
11. HOW DID BLIND CHEMISTRY CREATE MIND/ INTELLIGENCE, MEANING, ALTRUISM AND MORALITY? There are a number of things here. We do not know how “mind” arises from blind chemistry, we merely know that is does. Every existing human mind began as a bundle of chemicals, now there is a mind. “Meaning”. The meaning of a statement is its method of falsification. Meaning will, therefore, arise if an entity is so configured as to treat a statement as false if the world is configured in a certain way. “Altruism” is pathetically easy: being nice to people has evolutionary advantages. “Morality” is absolute and non-contingent. It cannot be created. To be created relativises whatever is created to the creator.
