So you say there is no such thing as common sense? Or is your example a case study of how words and terminology that have valid meaning in context can be usurped and distorted?

Is there common sense, yea or nay?

"I'm afraid the scientific community has succumbed to politics.
"

Considering that the vast majority of "studies" we seem to read about come from grants, I'd say that the politics of the grant giver play a significant role in the outcome of the "study". Kinda like global warming. Not a shread of scientific proof but everyone seems to say, "Every knows there is global warming, why else would everyone be saying it's true?"

Great article! As you say, this pretty much sums it all up. When you look for logical reasons why anyone would take an anti-evolution stance, all possibilities are truly sinister. Willful ignorance, superstitious brainwash, or charlatan exploitation of either or all of the above. There's no other logic for an anti-evolution stance!

Who is to say that some giant alien creature named GOD didn't pick his nose and flick a booger which exploded into our timeline and universe?

Booger worshipers place mark...

Rades, I think I may have solved Fermi's Paradox. Yes, they're out there. But ... they're creationists!

Thusly it has to rely upon obfuscation such as macro vs. micro to sell itself.

Yep. I am reminded of attempts by Holocaust deniers to assert that various individual accounts and bits of evidence are mere isolated incidents (though they have yet to coin the terms "microgenocide" and "macrogenocide").

The difference being that there is plenty of evidence direct and second hand that there was a holocaust. Denying that is moonbat material. Evolution has never been witnessed. Denying what has never been witnessed - ever - is hardly moonbat material. Buy a better argument. A third grader could pick that apart.

Nope. The analogy is perfect. Small and specific events were witnessed -- the larger sweep of events can only be inferred therefrom.

Yeah, you keep believing that, cause that is your belief, not science.

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

Oh, it only this was true.

The fact is that evolution is designed to deceive. It has deceived many. It has you believing that something was created out of nothing - sheer impossible by any objective science standards - it's makes a mockery of science - the very thing evolutionists worship - evolution turns the laws of science on its head for an predetermined outcome - godless, illogical, insulating to God (calling Him an ape), death before sin (dinosaurs here before man because they were busy "evolving from apes" etc.. Nothing about evolution makes any sense and the evidence certainly doesn't support it.

It is impossible to be a Christian and believe in evolution. The more I learn about evolution the more outrageous false I see it being. I'm also beginning to wonder if those claiming to be Christians and buy into this nonsense ... if there name is not in the Book of Life - since you are calling God a liar and :

Rom.1:20

[20] For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Laugh at Rom. 1:20 and you laugh at God. He's no "ape" and certainly not a liar.

Lots of things going on out there ... I'd make sure my relationship was right with Him and start being honest about these ridiculous hypotheses of evolution ... its Satan's tool to deceive you. Good objective science supports Intelligent Design, God.
Confident in my beliefs and seeing the evidence support Creation ... I often find it amusing to see evolutionists get shrill as they are rejected and their fallacious "evidence" exposed for what it is - rebellion against God and very prideful - reminds me of Adam and Eve in the garden ... all over again. No, man doesn't know it all better!

Nothing to do with epistomology Mr left Wing Professor who doesn't know the difference between ribosomal based mechanisms of anti-biotics vs lactam inhibition based, Mr never Ping me cry baby whining victim (who doesn't know what the term ping even means).

Call it Epissedoffology all you want, it's Hardly Coherent.

Look, we have established you are dull and dimwitted. Now we have established you cannot even hold to your own convictions.

I'd quote the Bibble, but you might be too scared and Sue Bee, orsomething about how a dog always returns to his own vomit comes to mind.

Some gibberish is fun for all -- some is gibberish.

You ask what the alternative is? There is no scientific alternative.

Ta - da!!!!

Yes. There is no alternative. Nothing -- no evidence imaginable -- can disporve, contradict or be inconsistent with evolution.

So what does God look like?
