You keep saying that but you know next to nothing about my scientific background, nor IQ, nor have you studied extensively any of the arguments against evolution.
YOU, SIR!
Need to be called out for what you assume about creation and evolution - I know plenty of science both from the evolution perspective and then later in life from he creation perspective.
What I detest are folks who use ridicule instead of sound reasoning. I detest folks who think evolution is settled science. Eventually evolution will be completely exposed for the fraud that it is [and always was since it completely contradicts the Holy Bible] along with naturalism [no God] and uniformitarianism [we know even with occasional catastrophes things do not progress uniformly].
God has declared one major worldwide natural disaster from our past - the flood. You folks blindly and blithely claim no evidence but then the vast majority have not even examined the evidence from a creation perspective.
Please remember, it's a matter of the highest, utmost kindness if I call you "stupid", because the alternative is "g*dd*am*d liar", and that's something I can't contemplate, FRiend.
Of course I've read the arguments against evolution -- they get posted in threads here, on average, two or three times a month.
And I've never seen one which doesn't strike me as extremely, ah... uh... ahem... "stupid".
BrandtMichaels: "What I detest are folks who use ridicule instead of sound reasoning."
Then you detest most all creationists who post on these threads, because that's all they have to offer.
BrandtMichaels: " I detest folks who think evolution is settled science."
But evolution is "settled science" -- that's a fact beyond debate.
Of course, you may not like it, you may not agree with it, you may loathe and despise the many scientists who study and report their findings related to evolution, you may even have many friends who feel just as strongly as you do, but evolution theory is still science, and it is still "settled" -- those are observed, confirmed facts, end of discussion.
Will evolution theory ever be overturned?
Theoretically, sure, any scientific theory can be overturned by new data which falsifies old understandings.
But the practical reality is that very few strongly, repeatedly-confirmed theories get overturned, and that certainly includes evolution's basics: 1) descent with modifications and 2) natural selection.
Of course, alongside evolution theory are many other scientific speculations, hypotheses and theories, some of which are clearly just "current best guesses" and any of those can be, and routinely have been, overthrown by new discoveries.
Indeed, that's exactly what makes science itself so real, and so exciting.
BrandtMichaels: "Eventually evolution will be completely exposed for the fraud that it is [and always was since it completely contradicts the Holy Bible] along with naturalism [no God] and uniformitarianism [we know even with occasional catastrophes things do not progress uniformly]."
No, evolution might theoretically be mistaken, but it cannot possibly be a "fraud", since it conforms to science's basic assumptions (i.e., naturalism, uniformitarianism) and all the available facts.
That some findings of science seem to contradict some people's interpretations of scripture, is also an unfortunate fact, but what natural science has going for it is it's ability to keep us alive and comfortable in this life.
That's why so many people (though certainly not all) embrace science.
BrandtMichaels: "God has declared one major worldwide natural disaster from our past - the flood.
You folks blindly and blithely claim no evidence but then the vast majority have not even examined the evidence from a creation perspective."
As JimSEA points out in post #44 above, if you look at geological formations through the eyes of science, you can find gold, diamonds, oil, fossils and innumerable other valuable raw materials.
But thinking of miles of geological strata, as if they all resulted from a single recent world-wide flood makes no sense, from any scientific perspective.
So I'll say it all again: you and your folks are not required by any law to believe a single word published in the name of science.
But you are also not allowed by US law to call your own religious beliefs "science", or to declare "unscientific" those elements of science which you find loathsome and abhorrent.
Fraud is a criminal act.
When you start taking the position that it's a crime to contradict the Bible you went off the rails somewhere back down the line.
