""..A common quibble laid at the feet of the creationist is that he/she is not qualified to speak about scientific matters relating to the creation/evolution controversy. For instance, Mark Isaak, the editor of The Index to Creationist Claims, stated that “for every creationist who claims one thing, there are dozens of scientists (probably more), all with far greater professional qualifications, who say the opposite” (2005, emp. added). Others assert that creationists make “the elementary mistake of trying to discuss a highly specialized field…in which they have little or no training” (Holloway, 2010). Do these assertions have any merit?

First, such assertions are ironic in light of other statements by some in the evolutionary community. For example, in the “General Tips” section of the article, “How to Debate a Creationist,” the Creationism versus Science Web site tells its followers, .. { Please see entire article}

Funny... this was the final “argument” from a libinlaw, regarding evolution -

“It must be true because so many learned people believe it.”

Creationists to everyone else: You are not qualified to go to heaven.

Well it is amusing that even after years debating evolution so few creationists can even define it or show even a rudimentary knowledge of what it is and the evidence for it.

Many creationists believe that every present day species descended from those few “kinds” that could fit on a boat of known dimensions a few thousand years ago. This is evolution, and semi-common descent of species, at a speed never proposed or observed by any evolutionary biologist.

Most ‘creationists’ need to take a Geology I course. Then we can talk.

Natural selection alters specific species over time, no question. But one species begating another species, i see no evidence of that.

A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty - it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man. (Albert Einstein)

I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings. (Albert Einstein)

I find this approach to be the best course with people that think science is the only answer.

[count-your-change]

I do not need to be an “expert” in what others believe but in what I believe.

I love it when they pull that one on me... and I get to explain that I have a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, have done research that has been published, and have taught at the college level. Most liberals cannot comprehend how I can be a creationist!

[sickoflibs]

Creationists are no better than those statements themselves.

They spend 24-7 donations complaining about missing links all while refusing to discuss and defend their own real opposing beliefs, that Noah gathered up all the Kinds including ants on a boat ~ 10K years ago and avoided a world wide flood. That only Kinds that exist today were on Noah’s boat. They wont debate that.

Evolutionists cant prove what happened millions of years ago they can just come up with ideas and test them(like a game almost) and some falsely claim its fact, but Creationists dont even do that.

What happened to scam #2 =ID ??

Government “Intelligent Social Designers” need to shut up about how much they seem to think we need welfare and other Government NON-Intelligent design programs like Social Security, Welfare, Food Stamps, etc etc.....

I thought all the libs beleive in Darwinism, but they beleive in “Intelligent Design” when the government is doing it with people’s lives....

[Dogbert41]

From what we know of the workings of a single cell, it is completely preposterous to have a view that life, that we came about via evolution.

It is absolutely impossible, even if evolutionists’ god, which is called “time”, had billions of trillions of centuries from which to shake up bags of elements.

Anyway, the whole argument will be moot very soon, because the Creator Himself is going to close on His property.

To qualify to discuss a topic, one must understand the topic first.

What kind of “Activism” do you think would be appropriate? At this point I think you’re probably going to need a global theocracy, and a lot of book burning and re-education to get the correct results.
