Mea Culpa.

Quit posting facts and exposing Creationist' lies



I wasn't responding to you or anything you said - I was responding to FreeDum's post to you about exposing Creationist lies.

"Honestly, I can't believe this nonsense is still being bantered about."

You need to take a science course.

I don't mock God. I mock folks who think they speak for Him. God's a big boy and can take care of Himself. It's quite evident from your post that you are confusing yourself with Him, which, if I remember correctly, is blasphemy -- which is the one unforgiveable sin.

It is all about information. Mutation is the changing of information in the DNA. The structure of an organism is totally dependent upon information. Genetics is all about information. The first mutation was a change in information. Where did the original information come from? Matter is totally incapable of generating information.

It is ALL about information!

There's another creationist who insists it's all about organized matter. You need to get together.

He evidently couldn't forgive mankind without killing His own son



God didn't kill His Son. Our sins did. Truly, the greatest gift of all. And what did that accomplish for you? Are you grateful? Or are you acting self-righteous and putting parameters around our Heavenly Father - so YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THINGS?

You're being baited by an obvious troll. Just let it go.

No doubt in my mind. I get a real chuckle but, don't feed them!

What do you think is the organizing principle - organization implies a blueprint for organization: information

I'm a bigot as well. I won't hire an electrician who thinks electricity is the result of white magic.

You're not a bigot. And that's not too surprising since you are unfamiliar with the meaning of the word. But thanks for trying to play smart guy. Better luck next time.

"...I do not understand why such an enlightened nation is embroiled in a senseless science vs. religion turmoil..."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
That is why you are there baffled and bamboozled and we are here.

Get over it. Darwin sucks. He had bad teeth too. Evolution is nothing more than delusion and illusion...a social science theory nothing more.

That says it all.

"It is interesting to me that evolutionists refuse to deal with the origin of information - and how new information required for the blueprints of life comes into existence. Even Richard Dawkins has absolutely no answer to these questions!

What information are you talking about? How do you identify it? How do you measure it? How does it affect the phenotype? Does having more information make for a longer genome? More genes? More pseudo genes? More chromosomes? More complex reactions between homeobox genes?

More genes, chromosomes, pseudo-genes and even repeated features ((such as body segments) from over triggered and confused HOX genes) all result from replication errors. Is this the information increase you are looking for? Or is the information you are looking for more esoteric, something nobody has been able to describe or adequately measure yet?

If you want to see how information can start out real small and increase in size rapidly play the simple computer game of 'life'.

Many evolutionary proponents have dealt with the 'information' canard. Go to talkorigins.org or talkreason.org.

Hint: Understand what you are talking about and have respect for God. God is not a big boy and neither are you, junior. God is The Almighty, The Creator of The Universe.

Wisdom comes with fear (respect) of The Lord. It is obvious you have neither.

I'm not confused - you are. I'm merely quoting HIS WORDS.
and that is not blasphemy. Check out your own words and you might see some blasphemy.

Indeed. It says more than you know. :)

"Especially Dawkins has no answers, since he depends on solely his own desires for answers.

You mean aside from the real research he does?

Glad to see the two of you are in sync with your hypothesis'. Any idea yet when and where your paper will be published?

Anything else leaves us with, "He with the biggest guns makes the rules", completely disarming freedom.

Those with the guns do make the rules. That's why the Founders put the Second Amendment in the Constitution.

The evidence of a superior intelligence contributing to the lives of His creatures is trumping the Naturalistic Only dogma!

OTOH, the Dover school board members who pushed for ID in science class were all swept from office by candidates opposed to ID in science class. Dover is in York County PA, which voted almost 2 to 1 for Bush over Kerry:

Dover is in York County, which supported George W. Bush in the last two presidential elections. According to unofficial vote totals for 2004, Bush received 114,621 votes and John Kerry received 63,628 votes. [my note: that's about 64% for Bush]

If I look up the word "oath" in the dictionary, will the word "religious" be anywhere in the result?

Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

1 a (1) : a solemn usually formal calling upon God or a god to witness to the truth of what one says or to witness that one sincerely intends to do what one says

I'll take that in the spirit it was given. :) It says a lot about you and the depth of your convictions.
