What Are Creationists Afraid Of?

I win, you lose. You can't handle I demolished your argument about Darwin, Mendel, and eugenics, so you bring in a completely irrelevant *point*. How pathetic. Now go away.

[Dimensio]

Nobody has addressed any of the philosophical points in my original post.

Maybe because it was nothing but a load of "argument from consequence", founded in faulty premises and having no bearing whatsoever on the validity of the theory of evolution.

[Heartlander]

Fine. Darwin and Mendel are in a room discussing various topics. They turn to you and ask, ‘Do you ‘believe’ that human consciousness ultimately comes from mindlessness?’

[Quark2005]

Oh, and you will have to provide the link to the enumerated list of Creationist Lies, or is the existance of that list an Evolutionist Lie?

link & learn

[CarolinaGuitarman]

Idiot. When you decide to stick to the topic you originally pinged me on, then we can talk. Until then, go away loser.

[Dimensio]

Why are you trying to change the subject? Are you really too much of a coward to admit that you made a mistake?

[Coyoteman]

So Adam really wasn't supposed to eat that fruit.

How about this one?

[CarolinaGuitarman]

Yes, he IS that much of a coward.

[Heartlander]

You’ve won the argument in your ‘mind’. Hey, now answer the stupid question - ‘Do you ‘believe’ that human consciousness ultimately comes from mindlessness?’

[CarolinaGuitarman]

I said go away, or stick to the topic, moron.

[PatrickHenry]

When confronted with facts that you could not counter you retreated into religious preaching.

You too can do battle in this fashion: Verses at random : Whole book, Proverbs, Psalms, Ecclesiasticus or Gospels. Make a choice in the first selection box, then keep hitting "refresh" to find the right verse.

[VadeRetro]

If it's growing in the woods I leave it there.

[Heartlander]

I’ve now been called an idiot and a loser. Your friend isn’t being a very good agnostic.

[Heartlander]

Does any person ‘believe’ that human consciousness ultimately comes from mindlessness?

[RunningWolf]

Does any person ‘believe’ that human consciousness ultimately comes from mindlessness?

I categorically do not believe that human consciousness ultimately comes from mindlessness.

We are expressions of his consciousness and his conscious life-force.

[Heartlander]

I’m curious, how could human consciousness be a subset of mindlessness? If Neo-Darwinian principles are true than they should apply to a mindless and undirected universe.

There cannot be any direction or goal. Even morality must be made up in the human mind and does not exist elsewhere - beauty and design are only constructs in our mind and the human mind can not be designed by or for any purpose or reason according to Darwinism.

I think this snippet is a little better for that quote:

The woman ... suddenly loudly exclaimed, 'my goodness, when I hear a man read scripture, it makes me HOT!'. I was startled, and I calibrated this experience to some other Sunday afternoon experiences I recalled.

Maybe because it was nothing but a load of "argument from consequence", founded in faulty premises and having no bearing whatsoever on the validity of the theory of evolution.

Really?

Doesn't the following come close to characterizing fundamental Evolutionist/Materialist premises?

• Everything came from nothing out of nowhere for no apparent reason.

• Life is just a curious side-effect of an unknowing, uncaring cosmos.

Does this not give rise to a hedonistic or nihilistic response? Since, when you die you are just so much compost, then the best we can hope for is a life of self-gratification and a painless extinction.

[CarolinaGuitarman]

"Everything came from nothing out of nowhere for no apparent reason."

Nothing to do with evolution.

"Life is just a curious side-effect of an unknowing, uncaring cosmos."

Nothing to do with evolution.
