How the Anti-Evolution Debate Has Evolved

See? Evolution is incompatible wit the Bible...

And once again, evolutionists admit it.

So does the Discovery Institute...

The objective [of the Wedge Strategy] is to convince people that Darwinism is inherently atheistic, thus shifting the debate from creationism vs. evolution to the existence of God vs. the non-existence of God. From there people are introduced to 'the truth' of the Bible and then 'the question of sin' and finally 'introduced to Jesus.'

-- Phillip Johnson

...so it's down to the atheists versus the fundamentalists, I guess.

I know the list is long already, but how about,

"It was from peer accepted books, and therefore MUST be considered accurate by evolutionists"

for Your Brain On Creationism?

Serious here...

Who is Phillip Johnson? Can't be the architect by the same name. That's one of the most disturbing things I've read in a long time...

[CarolinaGuitarman]

"Wow, the anti-Christian bias coming from your post makes yo sound irrational."

?? I said you were not being very Christian because you refuse to do me the courtesy of answering my points, after I went through a lot of trouble answering all of yours. I stand by that. I am not the one acting anti-Christian.

"And I dont care what Etheridge wrote. The post stands."

lol YOU were the one who posted his quote as evidence against Darwin! Now you don't even care if it was accurate? Hey, Mary Mapes, is that you?

Who is Phillip Johnson?

Fascinating, thanks.

He's one dangerous dude.

As you can see, it is far more than a bias RaceBannon.

These crude little knuckle-heads you are dealing with are examples of the best minds this little cult can produce /sarc>

Now, all can see this has nothing to do with Christianity, but that you are dealing with the sorts that don't comprehend anything other than a virtual rhetorical 2x4 across the head.

You've got 2/3ds of your brain tied behind you back and we know its damn uncomfortable for you. But hey, if they ping the whole list on you maybe you go with only half your brain tied up.

I don't suppose Race cares to answer #141.

He bragged he hasn't dodged any questions, but there it stands.

[CarolinaGuitarman]

He hasn't answered anybody's questions, don't think you're special. :)

Just another creationist who makes outrageous statements, gets called on them, and starts whining like a Democrat about how unfair it is, and we all support Hitler, and "I don't have to answer you because I quoted peer accepted books, so I can't be wrong!!" Blah Blah Blah. It really doesn't get much funnier than this. He doesn't know it, but he has made my New Year's Eve. :)

[whattajoke]

And I dont care what Etheridge wrote.

If you ever wonder why I (and others) won't bother with your BS, here's your answer. You "don't care" about your lies. You post a blatant obfuscation (you probably don't even know that there is indeed a gentleman named N(iles) Etheridge who is a real contemporary evolutionist, so by posting a century + old quote by someone else, and not apologizing for it, YOU ARE LYING.

You must be a real joy to be around.

If you can extract that interpretation from my posting, you clearly have an active fantasy life.

[blowfish]

Shop around. Choose wisely. Seek out the one that attracts the hottest chicks.

Since I'm married, my criteria will be:

• Has the killerest music (Baptists probably have this one sewn up).
• Has the best potlucks.
• Has the least boring sermons.

[Dimensio]

It's obvious that you were so intimidated by CarolinaGuitarman's total demolishing of your original argument that you had to flee from it like a coward and hide with a shamelessly dishonest and totally irrelevant reference to Hitler. Now you throw Bible verses at me, all because you're too afraid to admit that you used poor and easily debunked claims. How utterly spineless of you.

I don't care to deal with cowards, especially dishonest ones like you. Have a nice day.

Any links?

*****HAPPY NEW YEAR*****

God made it all possible through evolution!

[GSHastings]

I'd like to see a scientific study to discover the origins of Symphony #40 in G Minor.

Of course, to ensure the science is preserved in its entirety, we must assume from the onset that there was no composer involved.

Very nicely put. Of course, it is ovious by the evidence that it evolved from Sypmhony #39. There is only a 2% difference in the notes they both contain.

[GSHastings]

That's why I know you'll agree with me that the "MARTIANS-ACTUALLY-CREATED-US" theory must be taught as well, along with Evolution and Intelligent Design.

After all, there's no way to disprove it, so it's just as valid as well, right?

Did I miss something really big? Did all of the millions of tax payer money being wasted looking for evidence that life "evolved" on Mars actually pay off? There really are Martians? WOW!

Then I guess we really can't prove that Martians didn't evolve first, and then they created life on Earth.

[GSHastings]

At this point your analogy falls apart, as science has no such assumption when invesitgating the origins of either life or the cosmos.

Maybe science doesn't, but Evolutionist sure do. Of course, we don't want to confuse the two.

If science can't deal with the possibility of a creator, then possibly it is science which is lacking. Maybe science needs to pull it's collective head out of its ar$e, and smell the coffee.

[GSHastings]

Please present your evidence which supports the conclusion that the Universe is a "created thing". We'll wait.

You don't have to wait long

All around you, you can see complicated items, which have function and purpose. They can be proven without a doubt to have been created by intelligent beings.

Please present your evidence which supports the conclusion that the most complicated and purposeful items known (living things) have been spontaneously constructed by time and chance.

[Dimensio]

Maybe science doesn't, but Evolutionist sure do.

No, they don't. You're mistaking "not finding any evidence for a creator whatsoever" with "assuming that there is no creator".

[Dimensio]

All around you, you can see complicated items, which have function and purpose. They can be proven without a doubt to have been created by intelligent beings.

Well, you can't say "without a doubt", but you can say that there's strong evidence for the claim.

Please present your evidence which supports the conclusion that the most complicated and purposeful items known (living things) have been spontaneously constructed by time and chance.

You're assuming that living things have an inherent purpose.
