Evolution debate persists because it's not science
By Raymond H. Kocot
...
But did you ever wonder why Darwinism's general theory of evolution, sometimes called macroevolution, has been debated for over 150 years without resolution? The surprising answer is Darwin's macroevolution theory is not a legitimate science. The National Academy of Sciences clearly defined science in its 1998 guidebook for science teachers. The definition begins with [stating that] science is a particular way of knowing about the world, and ends with, "Anything that can be observed or measured is amenable to scientific investigation. Explanations that cannot be based on empirical evidence are not part of science." In other words, a legitimate scientific theory (a hypothesis or idea) must be observable in real time and must be testable, yielding reproducible results. That is the core of the scientific method that has brought man out of the Dark Ages.
Because confirmable observations and generating experimental data are impossible for unique events like life's origin and macroevolution theory, world-famous evolutionary biologist Ernst Mayr prompts evolutionists to construct historical narratives to try to explain evolutionary events or processes. In other words, stories are all evolutionists can muster to support macroevolution theory. If macroevolution theory, which must rest on faith in a story and is considered to be scientific, why not the creation story. With that in mind, it is no wonder the molecules-to-man debate has persisted for 150 years...

What you jerks can't get through your skulls is that I don't want you screwing around with the first amendment.
The foundation of our society is rooted in the Judaic culture...
Our rights are not from and earthly monarch as Moses did say. Moses was a real person.
I don't care for your ecclesiastical government ripping Bibles out of people's hands. I am contented with people making up their own minds.
The only thing that makes man civilized is the fear of death for transgressions against his neighbor. I ride a pale horse.
You are not a conservative, you are well on the left, most likely a social liberal, which is why your tact matches that of the far left.Yes I know, everybody that doesn't agree with you is a leftist. You morons are one of the main cancers destroying modern conservatives.
By all means, go ahead and drive all of the smart people out. Usher in 30+ years of Obamanomics. Don't worry, you won't have to blame yourself, you can just claim the homos made you do it.
Interesting parallel. Of course evolution critics have adopted the same deconstructionist language perfected by radical feminism.
In fact just arguing motives as opposed to arguing the merits of the science itself is exactly the kind of argumentation that te marxists perfected.

LOL. You must be fun at parties.

EAT SH*T... I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK... GET OUT OF THE WAY...
oooh...I feel so terribly scorned by your cutting intellectual insult!
Riding a Harley is about doing whatever the I please with my hard earned, God given money and the free time He gives me to enjoy the beauty of His creation. Not that it is any of your fickin’ business.
You’re just so mad because you are convicted that my tag line points
RIGHT
AT
YOU
*chuckle*
You evos are all so easily bruised.
You god of science and this world offers you nothing but emptiness.
But then again it must be difficult to have to publicly confess that your own beliefs are that you claim to have evolved from LOWER life forms(as in LESSER..less that human....sub-human...primordial soup with no cognitive abilities whatsoever...also known as your relatives!) and as such, life is meaningless to you, with no value, because in your world view you came from nothing, end up as nothing and everything in the middle is nothingness with no real everlasting purpose whatsoever, with no real hope for things like justice, or mercy (for that is against survival or the fittest, riiiight?).
No wonder you feel that you gain some sort of simple-minded “gotcha” by attempting to criticize my personal spending and recreational enjoyments.
Next time I ride my Harley in the nice South Florida sun...at one point, I’ll think back to your comment and grin as the wind blows through my blonde hair and my GF’s pretty hair, as I know, deep within myself that you were so jealous of my Harley. And again, I will laugh out loud at your world view that you actually believe you are related to primates....ad proudly admit it! And I’ll laugh again after the initial laugh.
Then, hopefully, I’ll remember to pray for you.
Until then...take care.
Oh...what kind of technological marvel of a bike did you say you ride?
Oh...that’s right...you didn’t
..still laughing
Oh, I’m a lot of fun at parties. I just love beating the living crap out of drunks...
Texas-Prosecutors say UNT student was raped, strangled, then set on fire (Illegal alien suspect)Awwww... did I make the widdle unabomber wannabe mad? Better get started on the manifesto before they put you in the looney bin. Can't ride many pale horses in there.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2192457/posts

Somewhat. Like Covenantalists, I believe that, in all ages, the only way to salvation is through Jesus Christ. However, I do not believe in infant Baptism or other, similar rituals. And I do not hold to the Dispensalationist idea of a pre-trib rapture. I was once an avid proponent of a pre-trib rapture, but after 20 years of study, I finally admitted to myself that the doctrine was lacking.
When Jesus spoke at Mt. Olivet, he was talking of the end of the Jewish age. When you understand that (you've got to study the Greek), it makes perfect sense.
I believe that Nero was an anti-Christ. However, when you study the major and minor prophets and don't focus solely on Daniel and revelation (as most pre-tribs do), it is clear that the anti-Christ is an Assyrian and is a descendant of the people who destroyed the temple -- Syrians, Turks, and others. The Italian Romans actually tried to keep the temple from being destroyed. Thus, the anti-Christ cannot be a European
I also believe that the war of Gog and Magog as described in Ezekiel is the same war as Armageddon. Again, you have to study the Bible as a whole to arrive at this understanding. It took me many years. A good place to begin is Joel's Trumpet. I had come to the same conclusion independently and was pleasantly surprised to find that there were like-minded people.
No, you haven’t made me mad... Your stupidity is frustrating...
Young-Earth Creationism means that you never have to worry about facts.
No, you haven’t made me mad... Your stupidity is frustrating...My goodness that calmed you down quite a bit. Where'd the pale horses, homos and eating pooh go?

Do you have anything more recent than the debunked “transitional” whales?

Trust me, you need way more study. The “end of the Jewish age” will be at the end of the millenium. Read Romans 11 carefully. The Jews will be saved through Christ, but they get a pass until the end of the Gentile age.
The Jewish culture is here to educate us to the understanding of the Lord’s four appointed times.
Cedric: Documentation or link please.
A link to this thread or any one of the innumerable GGG threads proves the point perfectly. Young-Earth Creationists are incapable of engaging in rational, reasonable arguments. If you don't accept their dubious beliefs, you're going straight to hell.
And like I said, I don't have to be a religionist to want the same things (like free thought in education) for my country as you do.
Like I saked you earlier... a-hole...
