1) Big number one. Claiming to know what God does or does not do.

Who or what is this god you refer to and why does he need you to presume to speak for him?

2) The assertion that they alone can judge what is science and what is not science.

I'm comfortable with allowing scientists judge what is science and what is not science, thank you!

3) Science holier than thou.

Barf alert.

4) Refusal to debate intelligent design proponents.

Now you're flat out lying! Scientist's have debated and totally discredited every single intelligent design proponent to come along.

5) Intellectual bullying. Ichneumon's long posts are Exhibit A.

Exposing extreme ignorance as Ichneumon and many others here frequently do can't hardly be called intellectual bullying. ...unless you're feeling the pressure to extract your head from the sand (or whatever) it's buried in.

6) Stepping out of their proper role. The role of biologists should be a humble one: to work on developing useful medicines, hardy plant and animal varieties, and a general understanding of life. They have no role in politics, religion or education.

Ha! ...and what are your qualifications to determine someone else's proper role?

7) Assertions of the truth of evolutionary theory on the basis that it has been "widely accepted" or "believed by all scientists."

If you're having a problem with the truth, feel free to reinsert your head back into the sand (or wherever you keep it inserted)!!!

Who or what is this god you refer to and why does he need you to presume to speak for him?

 

NIV 1 Peter 4:11
   If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.


NIV 2 Corinthians 13:2-3
 2.  I already gave you a warning when I was with you the second time. I now repeat it while absent: On my return I will not spare those who sinned earlier or any of the others,
 3.  since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you.

 

NIV Matthew 10:18-20
 18.  On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.
 19.  But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say,
 20.  for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.


NIV Mark 13:10-11
 10.  And the gospel must first be preached to all nations.
 11.  Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.




NIV Acts 4:29
  Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.
 

NIV Acts 18:9
   One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: "Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent.
