I never said I don't believe in Evolution. I just don't believe that life happened by chance. You can see that there are evidences of small evolution, that fish's eyes adapting, the finches beaks changing and so on. I cannot deny that.
[quote name='seanr1221']Budge, your view on "choices" couldn't be more wrong.
First, I really can't stand the word choice. There are two reason every organism behaves; biology and the environment. The vast majority of behaviors come from the environment, but it's silly to be a strict behaviorist, because some biological behaviors deserve attention too.
For example, my mom is diabetic. She doesn't choose for her blood-sugar to drop, it does so because of my mom's biology.
When you eat something in the morning, the food that you cook is due to the environment.
Now, you say we choose to do everything. Um...so what exactly makes these choices? And...what inside us knows what to choose. Oh, and why don't we all just make the right choices and excel in life? :lol: Surely you don't believe we have a conscience, right?
Like it or not, people just behave. Sorry

There is your natural born biological reactions to some things, but there are also decisions that are made by our consciences.
If people just "behaved" we would be no different then animals. We would rape people because we felt that attraction, we would kill people if we got angry, we would steal if we were hungry.
Well just because you are lustful, hungry, angry and so on, doesn't mean that we go and commit crimes because of it.
We can control ourselves and make the
choice to be civilized human beings.
