Fair enough.

1) Evolution is "JUST" a theory (implying that it has no scientific backing)

2) The Second Law of Thermodynamics makes evolution impossible. (along with all their fake science distortions of entropy.

3) Schools teach evolution as fact, not theory.

4) Man descended from the ape.

5) There is no fossil evidence of evolution.

6) It is impossible for the Colorado River to have carved the Grand Canyon.

7) There is no evidence that the humans existed prior to 6000 years ago.

8) Radiometric dating is a false sciece used by evolutionists.

9) Genesis is true therefore evolution is false (no, we will never get by this one)

10) All non-Christians are doomed to hell.

11) Enough for now.

Fair enough! as you say, WildTurkey.

1) Evolution is "JUST" a theory (implying that it has no scientific backing)

You never heard that from me. I think evolution has abundant scientific backing. I am an evolutionist, on scientific and personal experience/observational grounds.

2) The Second Law of Thermodynamics makes evolution impossible. (along with all their fake science distortions of entropy.)

Au contraire, mon chere — but according to new sources I’ve read, thermodynamic entropy and information in living systems are directly, synergistically, and thus most intimately correlated terms.

3) Schools teach evolution as fact, not theory.

Schools (it seems to me) teach whatever is “politically correct.” Schools ought not to be ideologically driven; but there you are. You can’t even blame the local school board for this state of affairs. It is the parents who are generally derelict in their duty here.

4) Man descended from the ape.

But what would be the meaning of such “descent,” assuming it happened in the first place? How definite are species categories anyway? Are they exact, or merely descriptive of general tendencies? Is all of Nature really driven by the urge to reproduce such that Nature puts all her resources into this direction alone? Does anyone think that this is what Darwin really meant to suggest?

5) There is no fossil evidence of evolution.

Well, how could there be? Fossils don’t “last forever.” With fossils, it’s always a case of “catch as catch can.” You never see what you never found. But according to the theorists, evolution does last forever. So it seems we need to be looking for a kind of “forever-qualified” evidence, rather than this fleeting, temporal, fragile stuff like fossils, skeletons, etc., in order to place Darwinism on a firm footing.

6) It is impossible for the Colorado River to have carved the Grand Canyon.

Oh? Why is that? Nature has her way with material things in the long run, and has a certain way of going about it. This is what makes Nature "observable" in the first place.

7) There is no evidence that the humans existed prior to 6000 years ago.

Well, of course there is. Have you never heard of the Caves at Lascaux, in the French-Spanish Pyranees? They are said to be a human community habitation dating back some 40,000 years…. Lots of "art" -- i.e, paintings of natural figures -- on the walls....

8) Radiometric dating is a false science used by evolutionists.

I doubt that statement in general. But then everybody needs to get his instrument calibrated right, from time to time. :^)

9) Genesis is true therefore evolution is false (no, we will never get by this one).

Genesis is true, and Darwinian evolution also is true as far as it goes. But it does not go everywhere. It leaves out the origin of life, and life’s manner of transmission into material forms. Seems that’s a whole lot to be left out, assuming we want to know the truth about life in the first place.

10) All non-Christians are doomed to hell.

I’ve heard some Christians say this. I’ve also heard Muslims say similar things about their non-coreligionists. Etc. Another story for another time. Point for now is, this Christian doesn’t say such a thing. And wouldn’t.

11) Enough for now.

Amen! And Praise the Lord! And may He bless you extravagantly, dear Wild Turkey.
