You would have to ask webboy that.
Sorry, hit the wrong “post reply” button.
What’s an “evolution professor”?
“Which is interesting because ID has absolutely nothing to do with god or religion.”
LMAO
A graduate intern?
“My daughter’s evolution professor...”
I would imagine in that context, his phrase could be compared to on like, “...brought to you by the ‘magic’ of television.” Now I’m pretty sure there’s no magic involved in TV, just as I’m pretty sure there’s no magic involved in evolutionary theory.
There’s plenty of room, but you don’t honestly think those fellows are end all and be all of science, do you? If any of them experienced anything as common as radio or photography, they would have run screaming from the room begging mercy from god. Times, it seems, change.
“to on like”
??? I really must learn to read these things before I hit the gas. Delete “on like”.
Evolution and ID are competing theories for how living creatures change over time.
Evolution believes it is random chance that determines the next step.
ID believes it is a deliberate mechanism that chooses the next step.
Time and more study will reveal which is the superior theory.
Why do evolutionists act like ID is a threat if it is just creationism in disguise?
In its modern iteration ID was created after the U.S. Supreme Court removed creation "science" from the classrooms.
ID is designed to fool people and to push a particular view of religion while pretending to be science. As such, it is a lie from start to finish.
“How can this be? Isn’t science our God?”
These threads are fascinating. Strict Creationists are intellectually dishonest, in my opinion, by failing to state that Evolutionists are simply going to hell
Strict Evolutionists are intellectually dishonest by thinking they can reason away someone’s faith with enough data.
As for me, I don’t see why there can’t be room theologically, and scientifically for the presence of both God and science, but then again, some might say that’s just being wishy-washy.
It’s idiocy to deny that they can and do coexist.
You’re right. However, to Darwinians, it brings it a step closer to that possibility and to them that is frightening.
I didn’t know he got banned, we never saw eye to eye but there never was any out and out rudeness from him.
“The evidence is nonexistent to creationists because they absolutely refuse to see it—for religious reasons. Evolutionary scientists have no problem seeing the huge amount of evidence that is out there, with more coming each year.”
To see what? It’s still a “theory” and will remain ever so. If this evidence you site were all that convincing it would be scientific fact which it most decidedly isn’t! So, while Darwinists want Christians to get off their high horses about an unprovable God. (Their words) Darwinists should get off their high horse about an unprovable theory.
It’s not enough not to be rude. He had organized an evolution ping list that eventually had approximately 400 members.
He had also begun to participate in a science website called “Dawin Central”
Only a few of us who accept evolutionary theory are allowed to post here, and, so far as I am aware, only one is left who posts with any frequency.
To use your analogy, the difference between Science and Intelligent Design is that the scientist does want to know who set the fire while apparently you would have us believe that the ID proponent couldn't care less.
Your use of the terms "prove," scientific fact," and "theory" are incorrect. Scientists do not use them in the manner you are suggesting.
I have a long list of definitions on my FR homepage, but in brief:
No theory is ever proved in science, so calling the theory of evolution an "unproved theory" says more about your understanding of science than about the theory of evolution.
"Scientific facts" are explained by theories. Science works with both facts and theories. Facts by themselves lack context and meaning; a usable theory helps to explain those facts. A good theory explains existing and newly discovered facts, and also allows predictions to be made. The theory of evolution is one of the best supported theories in science.
