Designed to deceive: Creation can't hold up to rigors of science

CONTRA COSTA TIMES ^ | 12 February 2006 | John Glennon

I knew better than to go down the alley, but something told me there were at least as many crazies on the well-lit street behind me.

We all know that was just a space filler post so you coud get #200.

BTW I personally don't polka and rarely bowl. But I love beer and brats.

[Revolting cat!]

Here's the best and only argument we need against evolution and all man's grand theories, Mr Henry, if that is your real name:

The fish don't know they're wet!

[PatrickHenry]

I kept looking over my shoulder, hoping no one realized that I was carrying a bowling-ball bomb.

[furball4paws]

You should stick around Darwin Central. The you will know who the crazies are.

[Physicist]

Choose something. What is not canard or polemical?

Well, "polemical" is gratuitous. Any meaningful statement can be called "polemical". "Nice weather today."/"Not in New York City, you bum."

But you were talking of canards.

"It is considered a fact by biologists that all living forms today come from previous living forms."

The statement is not a canard, and it is only "polemical" in the political sphere, not at all in the scientific sphere.

His beliefs changed throughout his life.

[VadeRetro]

It worried me that people knew I loved brats. I'd beaten one pedophile rap already and didn't want to face another one.

[furball4paws]

Well, that certainly puts the zipper in the arm pit.

"His beliefs changed throughout his life."

He was an agnostic when the Origin was published.

If they only knew how much more I love the left foot

[PatrickHenry]

Mr Henry, if that is your real name

I regret to inform you that Patrick Henry died in 1799. When I registered on this website, I was informed that my first choice, GeorgeWashington, wasn't available, so I chose this one.

[tallhappy]

I see you chose nothing. Start anywhere.

You begin. Come on.

[Revolting cat!]

In before 1000!

Dude, 8+ hours later and I made it too! Miracle, I tell you. Believe in the Lord!

[CarolinaGuitarman]

"I see you chose nothing. Start anywhere.

You begin. Come on."

You're the one who said the article was full of canards. It's your burden to substantiate this claim. Or else redraw your claim. Stop playing games and get to it. :)

I try to deny her existence but to deny evil will not make it go away. Hillary has nothing to do with the existence of anything but Chelsea.

We are trying to explain the laws and intricacies of a reality while attempting to ignore or deny the mechanism that created that reality. Seems a little silly doncha think?

Creation can't hold up to rigors of science

The theory of creation calls into question the theory of science...of course it(creation) can't 'stand up to the rigors' of the very system it questions...

And vice versa....

Unless God pays us a visit, or science creates a time machine...

This argument will go on forever.....

[Rudder]

Damn! My cover's been blown....

Cover?

I didn't know you were here on this thread.

And, only one reply and you're in trouble already?!!

[PatrickHenry]

... and didn't want to face another one.

But somehow, I knew my luck wouldn't hold.

Science is big on mechanism. It loves to investigate questions of mechanism. However, the Revealed Word often fails to be testable, and where testable, is often falsified right out of the blocks.
