So what the author is saying is that "Evolutionary Theory" can be overturned by the mere postulation of an opposing "Creationist Theory".

...A 'Theory' (or 'Paradigm' in Kuhn's esteemed work) is overturned by the accumulation of observations that cannot be accounted for by the existing Theory or Paradigm, NOT by the simple positing of another speculative Theory.




Fascinating observation, the theory of intelligent design has been offered and rather than addressing it, evolutionists simply attack it. And understandably so. If the support for intelligent design continues to grow, it spells the end of the cult of evolution. The secular fundamentalist opiate for the atheists will cease to exist.

So then, oh sagacious one, do you extend the SAME assumption to intelligent design (rhetorical question here, evolutionists do not do so!)...

Admit it, you don't like intelligent design because it explains the gaps that evolution will never be able to address.

Name a specific gap that evolution will never be able to address, and tell us what gives you confidence that it will never be addressed.

ID is only about attacking *flaws* in evolution, it has offered nothing even remotely testable to replace it. ID has been around since the ancient Greeks, it is not *new*. It had its day and lost.

Thanks! You are inadvertently making my points for me. I suggest you actually READ Kuhn's book rather than blather on as the Creationists usually do. Nonetheless, I'll make the key point one more time (a point made numerous times, again and again on these worthless, yet insidious Threads): Science does NOT conduct itself through Democratic processes such as taking a vote; It deals in facts, observations and data, things that are missing in Creationist Theory.

Me: So what the author is saying is that "Evolutionary Theory" can be overturned by the mere postulation of an opposing "Creationist Theory".

You: do you extend the SAME assumption to intelligent design (rhetorical question here, evolutionists do not do so!)...

Once again, to be clear: The Creationist author FALSELY states that "Evolutionary Theory" can be overturned by the mere postulation of an opposing "Creationist Theory". QED - Thomas Kuhn's scholarly work.

Admit it, you don't like intelligent design because it explains the gaps............

No! I don't like it because it has not, to the present time, explained anything. In addition, the continued trumpeting of this crap (either by those unconciously too ignorant of the methodology of Western Science to see the falsehood and errors of Creationism, or those who are evil enough to want to conciously destroy Conservatism by posting this crap in Troll-like fashion again and again) destroys the credibility of this site and the Conservative Movement.

.........that evolution will never be able to address.

Evolution has explained these. I refer you to any of the Lists of Links on 'PatrickHenry' or 'Ichneumon' Home Pages posted ad nauseum on these Threads.

In conclusion, please STOP destroying the credibility of this site and the Conservative Movement by posting Creationist crap.

Best of Luck with your personal problems.
