[quote:Anonymous Coward 616560:MV83Mjg0ODBfMTExODc2MDNfNTdBNTE5Rg==] [quote:Anonymous Coward 553712] Imagine that you have two people marooned on a desert island, one person is a moral, truthful, devout christian, and the other person is areligious, immoral, unethical, devious. What would be the outcome of this situation? This is the first question in series of questions designed to teach PRACTICAL evolution to Christians. I heard it discussed on Sunday morning on NPR. Simplify the description down to "good, socially positive" vs "evil, socially negative". The first question's prediction is usually that the evil one would kill the good one. Next question is a group of people, good vs evil on same island, same prediction. NEXT, 2 islands: far away enough so that they can't be reached from each other, on one island the good group and on the other island, the evil group. Prediction: the evil group will destroy themselves and the good group will survive. Shows that social behaviours such as kindness and altruism contribute to species survival. This is what the Dali Lama has been saying for a while...compassion for others is is normal. [/quote] I'm curious, how does this go on, and what follows from that, what can one learn? [/quote]
