No, it isn't no matter how much you repeat that. Where are the repeated and verifiable observations? Where is the experimental data?

Repeated and varifiable observations proved that all stoplights have a grue indicator. Masses of repeated and verifiable observations of the rapture of everyday existence as manifested in the glorious stars in the heaven, and rainbows, and flowers, and exquisite snowflakes, and the glorious word of God, far more numerous and observed than anything that ever happened in a science lab, prove the existence of God as the Prime Mover.

Creation has to be taken on faith because there is only ONE source for it - a religious writing.

Science has to be taken on faith because there is no prime source for it--a tangible sacred text anyone with a mind to can find and read. By contrast, science is just a bunch of constantly changing gobbeldy-gook the fundamentals of which two scientists describe alike.

I meant to say, "which NO two scientists describe alike".

Sorry.

You went over the deep end there. Prime source for science is the elements of the universe around us. Observation and experimentation gives us data - the prime source.

Yeah - whatever. Science is the sum of knowledge produced by observation and experimentation coherently related by the rigorously worked out mechanisms. Science evolves as data is added to that sum of knowledge - changes aren;t whimsical or random.

BTW - God as prime mover is the handwaving of ID - no mechanism, no support, no proof, no nothing - just wave the hand and sacrifice a goat.

Maybe you should try the decaf.
