Orgel's Rule- something to share

I think, it is important to understand evolution and Orgel's first rule

"Whenever a spontaneous process is too slow or too inefficient a protein will evolve to speed it up or make it more efficient."

To understand human brain or behavior, the structure of proteins are the fundamental factors.

AND

His second rule:

"Evolution is cleverer than you are."

Nature does contain potential power that to run evolution and to advance evolution. Agree?

An opinion from a believer...

I had a few conversations with a believer.

In our conversatoin, he said, "Human behavior is absolute and driven by the same passions. The only way to regulate it for the common good is to have a set of absolute values."

What do you think of this statement. Is it a common view as a believer or conservatism?

Common good?
What is common good of yours compared to his.

Absolute values?
I suggests the values cannot be chnaged. First of all, is it possible? Secondly, what do you think of absolute values?

The same passions?
of what? same as in an intention? or motivation?

Can you relate this statement to anyone you happen to know, which share the same values of this believer?

Your thought?

Color our mind.. from Wikipedia, Conservapedia to RationalWiki

Wow. This is getting hot. I love to watch such human behavior...

From now on, you can choose your preferences in the world of knowledge.

Godwin's Law and Morals

The dogma of moral value is similar to Godwin's law, and you are banned to test the limitation of moral value. Then, how can we conciliate the conflict of moral issues without the discussion?

Nazi and Hitler are always 100% the bad guy? right? Can his mistake be discussed?

Can his mistake be forgiven? Even the image of Nazi and Hitler is always notorious...

Can or Can't we discuss or change moral values if it is related to Godwin's law?

Faith and Human memory

Your personal experience depends on your memory. One would argue that human faith cannot be tested or converted. Perhaps it is or it isn't because they take human memory for granted.

Human memory serves as a learning reservoir to protect human being from other predators. When faith is inoculated to childhood, the memory of faith has to be functioned at the beginning and adopted.

One interesting observation about faith and memory is that if you lose your memory, will your faith still be sustained?

Perhaps not, your identity and faith are depended by your memory.

Memory is an abstract object, yet to produce faith-based memory is a matter of physical object- Our synapses, neuronal interaction and external stimuli...

Is it important to know the interaction between faith and human memory?

Of course..because:

(my bold statement) :

In a way, faith is a serial of programs which is ran by the neurons. Now, if you ask me how to have faith, it is because of your neurons.. not Supernatural being...

and now if you ask me why we have faith, it is because of your synapses, not supernatural being..

Hoax and human behavior..

If there are tools to explore and study human behavior, then any hoaxes can be the candidate. Because of such features:

1. It is an objective falsehood.

2. It is a well-designed to fool human behavoir.

3. It is a well-intensed to manipulate/test people's mind.

Now, the question is:

How do you distinguish a true story from a haox?
