So animals cannot evolve in regards to emotions?

Only in theory can one consider that they do
(by the way ,a clumsier baited question has yet to appear on this thread)

However, even you may be able to make a case that animals may evolve their expression (communicative or non-communicative function) of emotion....on a side note - curiously, you may find that blind people exhibit certain expressions without ever being "exposed" to them.

(also, as with Drifting, you seemingly suffer the same curse of not being attentive to people's clearly written posts. Here we see Mktavish clearly state "with respect to love"...which you see cause to over-generalize into the clumsy bait of "all emotions"...Mktavish was being specific and in an effort to somehow, magically, make that comment wrong so you finally offer a correct one, you awkwardly and erroneously extrapolate the statement to infer a conclusion that clearly was not offered....the motive for that type of behavior is blatantly clear, but i suppose the good thing is that in the face of defeat you clearly decided to move on...sort of).

Love is one emotion so my question is still valid and not a straw-man, but thanks for showing your lack of reading comprehension again.

nice dodge, but your grammar makes your post quite mistaken - and you are easily comprehended

Mktavish clearly stated a challenge for you to "Please do list how love has evolved."
and you promptly ignored that...
prior to that you asked - "????????? Are you saying homo sapiens did not evolve?"
to which Mktavish clearly responded - "With respect to love ... No" (emphasis mine)

and so now, you would try and deny that you are building a straw man because "love" is an emotion...yet the evidence of your own exchanges with Mktavisj show that this particular emotion has already been asked about and answered...yet you are claiming that you asking again is your intention by posting "So animals cannot evolve in regards to emotions?"....do you really expect a different answer than the one already given???

Themmy, it is blatantly clear that you post is guilty as charged.

and continuing to deny is a major fail on your part - nothing more and nothing less.

Subby,

Stop being the idiot. There is nothing wrong with my line of questioning. Love is an emotion, and I am trying to get him to answer questions in regard to it and evolution, which he states he believe humans have evolved.

by the way subby, you should try reading your own posts about what a straw-man is. You cannot create one by asking one question's regarding their positions.

You say you believe Man has evolved, would assuming that means man has evolved from lower forms of life at least from single cell organisms correct?

It is quite obvious that your "line"of questioning would be more accurately described as a circle.

Maybe to one who doesn't get it. I will let Mktavish answer for himself and see where it goes.

you obviously meant to type "I will let Mktavish repeat that answer again and again for himself and see where it goes."

Incorrect as usual. I have asked him a more specific question. One that appears to have you scared :razz: .
