A well-known atheist’s ‘eureka moment’ shows the desperation of evolutionists

Desperation of evolutionist? Me thinks the Creationists are desperate.

I don’t post on these threads much, as I really don’t see any point. However: Why does evolution preclude the existence of God? I believe in both, and see no reason why they’re incompatible.

I respect both sides of this issue however, they are both belief systems, the anecdotal musings of evolutionists notwithstanding.

What strikes me about most of the essays which purport to challenge the tenets of ID and Creationism, is the thread of smarmy contempt and denigration for those who hold those beliefs, which seems to permeate the writing. I don't understand the necessity for doing this. IMO, one cannot with the wave of the arm, or wry smirk, dismiss the compelling arguments of the ID belief system.

I prefer to read studied responses and essays which do not contain attempts to ridicule.

From the article: Biblical Christians believe that not only was there a ‘very good’ creation, but also a Fall due to Adam’s sin, whereupon God cursed the creation. If someone tries to show that a certain philosophical system is incoherent, it is perfectly in order for a defender of this system to invoke certain aspects of this system to defend its coherence. So when an atheist attacks the biblical creation model, it is perfectly in order to cite the biblical Fall to defend the integrity of this belief system. One result of the Fall was deleterious mutations.

What a steaming pile.

Defending a myth with a fiction. Creation "science" at its best.

Are “Desperate Evolutionists” anything at all like the “Atheist Nightmare” so seriously presented (to hilarious effect) by Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort?

‘Cause that was a hoot. Evolutionists are still giggling over that one.

I believe that the ToE is the best notion of how life came to be at present. That said, it in no way precludes my belief in God, nor my Faith in Christ, nor my trust in the divinely inspired nature of Sacred Scripture.

Whenever there is a perceived conflict between empircal science and revealed Truth, the conflict exists only in our limited human capacity to comprehend. The bickering is only good in that it helps us move forward with this comprehension. Demonizing and censoring one side or the other is stupid and wrong, however.

One day, it will all be clear.
