Don't miss this! More Scientist against Darwin!
http://www.islamonline.net/English/Science/Science/NaturalSciences/2006/06/01.shtml
Are you REALLY expecting certain uhhhh
'scientists' and their cheering masses
to uhhhh . . . . take their heads out of the sand and rationally consider
uhhh
the
FACTS of the matter?
Oh, dear. That is brash!
Wonderfully brash.
I hope you have your hazmat suit and flack jacket on.
Some have gone on record stating that they were duped.
Lighten up, Francis.
OmahaFields, there's nothing really unusual there. Many religions, scientists and especially mathematicians deny metaphysical materialism. The fact that Islam does so, does not constitute evidence in favor of materialism's plausibility.
Islam has used anti-materialism to justify a backward society. Islam is using anti-materialism to justify their attacks on wester society. It is interesting that the main tenet of ID is, you guessed it, ANTI-MATERIALISM. By pushing anti-materialism, you are pushing western society into another dark age.
Amen.
People believe evoution because they do not to want to believe that there is a God and a judgement. (Rom.1:20-25)
yes, I agree. It's impossible to hide from His judgement of us when we are resentful and harsh. But the darkside is so crafty in our minds with confusing voices and thoughts and false teachings.
Just out of curiousity, what would you say to those christians who believe that evolution best fits the evidence?
I would say that the scriptures teach Creation and don't put your faith in false science (1Tim.6:20)
I'd prefer be an unsophisticated country person than an ignorant elitist like you.
Good grief. You're the ignorant buffoon if you don't think Chien ever read Darwin's book. You just can't come to grips with the fact many scientist can use the evidence to strongly show that Darwinian gradual evolution did not happen.
Wake up and smell the reality.
It is very hard to see the difference between the Christian writings and the Islamic writings....
I'm assuming your remark is only in the context that both Christians and Muslims are theists, opposed to materialism and want to make sure they've got a seat at the educational table. If that is your point, what's wrong with that?
Scientist have failed miserably in linking the evolutionary theory from start to present animal groups and phyla to sell materialism to most people who truly look at it with an open mind. Too many holes. They cannot even explain how the eye evolved.
The complex nature of the eye and the probability that it came about by chance is a reason for me to believe that it was designed by a higher power. Ditto with fingerprints and DNA.
Until scientists can show continuous proof from the beginning to present animal groups and phyla, materialism cannot dismiss theism and it is arrogant for them to try.
From The Wedge Strategy:
THE WEDGE PROJECTS
Phase I. Scientific Research, Writing & Publication
Anyone whose goal is to promulgate "a science consonant with Christian and theistic convictions" is not doing real science. If a group with those goals ever comes to power I can see a lot of the sciences we do now being "de-emphasized." Biologists and paleontologists would be among the first to be "re-educated."
Even what I do, western US archaeology, would be subject to censorship because we consistently fail to find any evidence of a global flood, and we have documented continuity across the last 12,000 years or so--in other words, no flood, no young earth.
Given free rein that is what I see "a science consonant with Christian and theistic convictions" leading to. Don't believe me? You can see the beginnings of all of this right now, with the attempted censorship of evolution in schools.
Hey, clown, punctuated equilibrium was Darwin's idea.
Wake up and smell the reality.
Quit smoking the crack of Creationist websites.
You're the clown, jerk. No one is arguing that PE is not anti-Darwinian. It's known that the scientific basis and conclusions of PE originated with Charles Darwin. If you think Chien's mention of PE and Gould means he doesn't recognize Darwin's PE theory, you are the one who needs to put the crack pipe down!
Thanks, but I'll keep my Creationists views. Scientists have failed miserably in linking the evolutionary theory from start to present animal groups and phyla to sell materialism to most people who truly look at it with an open mind. Too many holes. They cannot even explain how the eye evolved.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!
If you would do a little REAL study instead of visiting those scam creationist websites you would understand the evolution of the eye. I believe a link was posted last Friday or Saturday with that explanation. If you wade around, you will see that their is a counter-argument for everyone of the lies on the creationist websites.
Besides, why did God give us an eye that is can't even see the radiation that causes blindness? Why did God make radiation from the sun that blinds us? Why did God design the eye such that the sensors block most of our vision?
Why didn't God, in his wisdom knowing that the eye was a faulty invention, give Adam eyeglasses?
