EVOLUTIONARY ARROGANCE (SHAMAN ALERT)

FOSSIL THUMPERS have been digging in the OUTBACK for so long, looking for missing links, that they have hooked-up with SHAMANS.

The shamanistas then Dump Professor Over Evolution Beliefs

 

• Media Bias Stifles Creationists' Scientific Findings, Perspective He explains that the secular media -- which he describes as atheistic and anti-Christian -- publishes most anything it can that appears to indoctrinate people and "hits against the Bible."
• Loosening Darwin's GripA poll released in May 2002 by Zogby International found that nearly eight out of every 10 Ohioans supported the teaching of intelligent design in classrooms where Darwinian evolution also is taught. A survey by The Plain Dealer newspaper in Cleveland offered similar findings: 74 percent of Ohioans said evidence for and against evolution should be taught in science classrooms, while 59 percent said intelligent design should be included in origins study.
• Anti-Creationists Backed Into a Corner? Forrest Turpen, executive director of Christian Educators Association International, says it is obvious the evolution-only advocates feel their ideology and livelihood are being threatened.
• Intelligently Designed Films The two videos complement each other well. Unlocking the Mystery of Life develops all of Intelligent Design's major molecular-based arguments for an "intelligent cause" of life's complexity, and thus presents the positive case. Icons of Evolution, on the other hand, spotlights the problems of Darwinism: its censorship of key scientific information in public schools, and the scientific misinformation it spreads through public textbooks.

Please explain Dinosaurs and vegetable fossils. Are these merely curiously uniform deposits of minerals found world-wide; artifical constructs of the devil, or did these animals and plants exist? The bible does not account for them. Evolutionists do.

I have never known an Evolutionist to claim to have the whole story, like Creationists do. So, with this in mind, what about the rock record?

[Lysander]

...creationist scientist...

Oxymoron

[Terriergal]

something about evolutionism that generates arrogance in many of its spokesmen

When you represent the highest 'evolved' form of life, what do you expect? ;-)

[Terriergal]

...creationist scientist...

Thanks to the redefinition of "science" by evolutionists.

[Terriergal]

The bible does not account for them

?

You expect it to have a detailed description of every animal that existed? I don't see much mention of Zebras and Dodo birds either.

Yeah, how apalling that a lot evolutionists spend most of their time in the field digging up actual physical evidence and analyzing it; how DARE they?

BTW, they've found tens of thousands of "missing links." Gould assumes Creationidiots are liars, because they ARE liars.

[biblewonk]

"Are you a scientist" bump.

It's funny, I've read that most creationists will refuse to have written debates these days, instead preferring to have nothing but spoken debates. Why? Because it's easier for someone like Gish to shoot out 15 half truths in 60 seconds than it is for someone like Gould to correct them in 60 seconds. In a written arena, you can't effectively use the "shotgun" approach that Gish loves so much. Could be also that there is no money to be made in a written setting, eh? Don't you wonder how much Gish etal gets in a speaking engagement at a church?

Also, consider this. Ever wonder why there's never a debate offered by a Creationist speaker about the scientific evidence of creationism? They are always about the evils of Evolution. Why is that?

[asformeandformyhouse]

They are always about the evils of Evolution. Why is that?

Because evolution is evil.

[ThinkPlease]

Because evolution is evil.

BZZZZZZT. Wrong. Could it be because creationism is filled with nothing but nattering nabobs of negativity, with no scientific program to speak of, yet willing to resort to bad logic to keep the money rolling in?

I really do want to see that Penn and Teller special on Creationism that is coming up on Showtime this week. I suspect it will concentrate on the similarities of the creationist preachers that go from church to church to the folks who want to sell you a bridge in Brooklyn...cheap.

[asformeandformyhouse]

You asked.

[asformeandformyhouse]

BZZZZZZT.

Where I come from it's polite to say 'excuse me' when you fart in public.

You already had the earlier thread pulled. Do you not work for a living?

Are you on government assistance?

"Creationist scientist" is not necessarily an oxymoron. They could be a science of a field like chemistry or physics. Some fields might preclude adherence to young-earth creationism, but there is nothing in a generic creationist belief of which I'm aware that contradicts common principles of physics. It's just biology that causes the problems.

Of course if the author was speaking of "creation science", then that is an oxymoron -- I've never heard of a "scientific theory of creationis", despite a number of people trying to get some kind of theory like that taught in public schools.

[gg188]

Yeah. Those crazy creationists. Next thing you know they'll be telling us that GLOBAL WARMING is a hoax, too.

[balrog666]

Idiots on parade alert.

You expect it to have a detailed description of every animal that existed?

That is my point. The Creationists claim the bible has ALL the answers. The Evolutionists claim that animals (including man) evolved over time. Evolutionists need not insist that we all climbed from the slime; but a fairly cursory view of skeletonal remains shows changes over time. Proof is at your neighborhood museum.

IMHO, the truth lies somewhere in the middle, Creationism and evolution are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
