The strongest argument against the evolution of humans is that man's intellect which is not physical could not have evolved. Only physical things can evolve and since humans thought are not made of sustance. therefore they could never have evolved. This means that we of today are exactly like ADAM and EVE were created.

Take a basic course in neurology, or heck, google "brain chemistry" or hell, even just "brain" for that matter. I think you'll find very quickly that thoughts, like this lovely one that you decided to post on the internet, are indeed quite physical.
Physiology of the brain says you're stupid.
Too much stupid to reply so I will just recommend studying physiology and psychology.
In a nutshell, the healthy living brain (physical) is required for all of that intellect. Even specific regions of the brain have been found to be control centers for various aspects of personality such as intellect, cognition, sensation, perception, emotion, and memory (just to name a few).
Please get a fucking education. Please.
<<ADAM and EVE>>
Goddamn sploicers.
Remove your brain and see how much intellect you have.
On second thought, now I understand why you think intellect is not physical.
"Thought" is an action, not a physical entity. You might as well say that evolution is false because "run" isn't a physical body part. However, every action we take, including thinking, requires the use of a physical body part such as the legs and brain and both of those can and do evolve.
This is the worst argument in favor of creationism I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of them.
I guess it never occurred to Raypare that man's brain evolved which gave him a higher intellect?
"The strongest argument against the evolution of humans is that man's intellect which is not physical could not have evolved. Only physical things can evolve and since humans thought are not made of sustance. therefore they could never have evolved."
The brain evolved. The brain is where consciousness, thoughts, and intellect reside.
Of course, you're posting on CARM so you probably think that they come from your stomach or heart.
"This means that we of today are exactly like ADAM and EVE were created."
You're a moron. Go away.
Dude, for real, take a drill to your head. Meat will be visible in the hole. You'll know that this meat is responsible for your thoughts when you can't think properly anymore. Because you drilled your thinking meat. Although reading your comment, I have to wonder if you haven't tried ultra-deep trepanning already.
Are you out of your mind? Human intellect is totally physical. Have you ever heard of a little thing called THE BRAIN?!
Oh wait, you're a creationist; you probably haven't.
"The strongest argument against the evolution of humans is that man's intellect which is not physical could not have evolved."
Chimpanzees using tools - from stripping twigs to extract protein-rich termites from nests to tree branches & animal bones as weapons to kill other animals, or threaten other rival chimpanzees.
Your argument is invalid.
So the fact that you can turn off parts of the brain with surgery, electrical stimulant or even plain old drugs and alcohol means that these things are changing you spiritually rather than physically.
And I thought the whole 'spiritual experience' thing was just hight talk.
man's intellect which is not physical could not have evolved.
According to whom?
Btw, since you seem to know so much about the entity that is man's intellect that you can make definite statements about it's being, perhaps you can tell us more about it. We'd all like to know.
Human consciousness is a result of the interplay of neurons that goes on in our brains, all of which is based in biochemistry. So when you say that human intellect isn't physical, what you really mean is that it's completely physical and can be both measured and influenced by other chemicals. In other words, if human intelligence and emotions aren't physical things, then why the does Prozac work, and why does having an extra chromosome make you retarded?
It is all down to sentience. Man's "intellect", the perception of a "soul", all of it. all of that existential crap that you enjoy waving in our faces, all of it. It is all a mere byproduct of our sentience.
Sentience that occurs because of our brain.
Yeah, the human brain is just for cooling the blood, AMIRIGHT?
Raypare, you are an ignorant moron.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
