You would ask that, doggonit!
I'll let you decide for yourself whether you've ever in your life stolen anything at all.

Shere (sp) Hite's work showed infidelity up to 70%.....that's from memory based on a master's level Human Sexuality class I had at Kansas State in about 1995.
indeed it is
That's all I wanted to know.
Fascinating. Could you point me to a citation for this statistic?
Natural selection by itself makes no new things.
Of course it doesn't. There needs to be a difference in individuals in a species ... through mutation, for example ... for natural selection to have something to "select".
It is actually the permanent loss of information.
Really? I've heard of something called "recessive genes" that are still in the DNA ... not permanently lost ...
It is not the creative, uphill, limitless process imagined by Darwin.
Limitless? Part of the TOE is that there ARE limits ... whatever mutations exist that can be selected for ... a cat's not going to give birth to a kitten with jet engines, for instance, as what mutation would cause that.
Although it would be cool.
"In what way is it scientific to assume that an unsolved problem has no solution?"
ID doesn't assume that. People falsely say it does, but it doesn't. I'm assuming of course that finding the cause of the origin of life, and the specified complexity of organisms, is a problem that can be solved. Maybe I don't understand your question?
That's not that unusual anymore.
But there are definitely some philosophical challenges that go along with any perspective that includes God.
At some point, all of us, creationist/ID/theistic evolutionist are overwhelmed by the idea of God's eternity.
Everyone is a child of God; why wouldn't God speak to His progeny? There is no special club or caste one must belong to in order to have God speak to him.
You're welcome. Interestingly enough, it was given to the Jewish nation in a time when they themselves were slaves. It has always been an admonishment of God's, that the Jewish people would live among the nations, and that they would obey the laws of those nations. However, when the people realized that God's law transcends man's law, they would disobey that law. therefore you find Christians, both in the past and now, at the forefront in the outlawing of slavery.
I know what Darwin said. I know what his eugenics associates said. And I know what a lot of people claim about evolution in order to shove God out of the picture.
But I have no idea what you're trying to say. Brilliant reply.

Name one that convincingly deduces that God does not exist.
God absolutely does not talk to everyone. That is Gnosticism. You might want to examine your beliefs.
You're welcome.
Thanks. I've learned on this thread that some people think that both God created the universe in 6 days and that slavery is OK with the same God.
I've been known to stick pens in my pocket at work and forget about them till after I got home. Not intentional, but I've done it. That's a far cry from hitting on someone else's wife. One's a sin of omission and the other of commission.
In that time and in those places, slavery was a fact of life. It is a fact of life today. Who, other than christians, speak out against it?
"Name one that convincingly deduces that God does not exist."
None. And that includes evolution. None can deduce God exists either.
My pet desires are that our future generations are not brainwashed through the public-education system into accepting a secular-humanist view of life. That is, of having an open mind.
Schools can't even read a statement that there may be some originating energy source that set all this in motion?
If your teachings cannot tolerate a little competition -- that has serious backing from large parts of the scientific community (of course, you discount it because you begin the experiment biased as to the outcome) -- then it is your pet desire that has yet to pass the test.
It is not a theory. It is, at best, a hypothesis but not a hypothesis in science. It more properly belongs in philosophy or theology.
