Our Declaration of Independence contradicts the core beliefs of Evolutionists. It is hard to call on a Source superior to all men, when that superior Source is not a definer of rights. Anything else leaves us with, "He with the biggest guns makes the rules", completely disarming freedom. A theistic evolutionist strips the superior Source of His personal attention to individuals in His creation.

No one is attempting to deny God. This is a standard CIDer canard and strawman. Science is silent on God and attempts to explain how things work and why they work. Science depends on non-supernatural explanations.

Then you have no problem with alternate common sense explanations explaining life. Again your interpretation of the facts is the limited one. Science by definition should not be limited when such a large number of credible scientists wish to weigh in.

Remember that next time you drive a car or fly. Or use the bathroom. Or plug in your computer.

I am sure you will acknowledge that none of these "discoveries" demonstrates a speck of superiority. Having a cell phone with iTunes on it doesn't add a whit to a person's character. In fact it is an easy case to make that a person who has indulged in higher education exhibits stunted character growth.

Salvation through knowledge is beginning to fall on deaf ears as people begin to recognize the agenda of the materialists who, by definition, are forced to deny unalienable rights. The evidence of a superior intelligence contributing to the lives of His creatures is trumping the Naturalistic Only dogma!

Those with the guns do make the rules. That's why the Founders put the Second Amendment in the Constitution.

OTOH, the Dover school board members who pushed for ID in science class were all swept from office by candidates opposed to ID in science class. Dover is in York County PA, which voted almost 2 to 1 for Bush over Kerry:

Dover is in York County, which supported George W. Bush in the last two presidential elections. According to unofficial vote totals for 2004, Bush received 114,621 votes and John Kerry received 63,628 votes. [my note: that's about 64% for Bush]

You are the first persom to EVER use the Declaration of Independence as science text. Please provide the cross-reference to or from other scientific works. What does the Declaration say about Evolution? About Physics? (standard CRIDer run/fallacy #2: Strawman and #4: Begging the question)

No one is attempting to deny God. This is a standard CIDer canard and strawman. Science is silent on God and attempts to explain how things work and why they work. Science depends on non-supernatural explanations.

Then you have no problem with alternate common sense explanations explaining life. Again your interpretation of the facts is the limited one. Science by definition should not be limited when such a large number of credible scientists wish to weigh in.

And planes are held up by angels. You can make unsupported statements all you want, but an assertion is not an "alternate common sense explanation." It is an ignorant shot in the dark. And please O please site specifically how many biologists have weighed in in support of Creationist mythology. Oh, and name them. (standard CRIDer run/fallacy #1: pure lies presented as "facts" or "arguments.")

Remember that next time you drive a car or fly. Or use the bathroom. Or plug in your computer.

You must be taking lessons from RunningWolf or Havoc or Creationist in non sequituers and strawmen. No one, certainly not me, has brought up any issues of superiority, character or anything else that is philisophical or sociological. Mine was a strictly scientifi argument that says you can't pick and choose which parts of science you can decide to "believe" or not. (CRIDer run/fallacy #2 again among others)

Salvation through knowledge is beginning to fall on deaf ears as people begin to recognize the agenda of the materialists who, by definition, are forced to deny unalienable rights.

Nice rant -- not argumentation of any kind, doesn't address the topic at hand -- just ranting. (Standard CRIDer run #8 -- yell "Praise the Lord" and fall on the floor).

I ask again -- can't you CRIDers take on arguments using facts and logic? Your entire post addresses issues that have nothing to do with TTOE or its scientific basis.
