LOL, I have to see this!
Let me try: ID predicts that gases are made of molecules which obey Newton's laws. It does?!
Evolution is contrary to both laws.
This requires demonstration. EG, calculate the entropy of a bunch of ancient people and and wolves, vs the entropy of a bunch of modern people, wolves, and domestic dogs. (Assume a constant flux of sunlight and that the rest of the environment is static). Or some concrete example.
You might as well be a rabbi arguing with an me as an imam about whether YHWH or Allah is true God.
Does the rabbi or the imam either one have any record of making correct predictions about what will be found in fossils and lab experiments? Biologists, using evolution theory, can and have, thousands of times.
So no, it's not the same thing at all - the rabbi's and the imam's jobs - theological speculation, trying to convince people their own scriptures really are the word of god, and so forth, have no counterparts in science.
Wait a minute... you don't already know what I am going to write? I thought these were the "same old tired arguments" you've heard over and over.
In spite of the words of Matthew 7:6 ringing in my head, I'll give this a shot:
The first law of thermodynamics indicates that nothing is currently being created or destroyed; the amounts of energy and matter in the universe are constant. The universe could not have possibly created itself; every effect must have a cause, and the effect cannot be greater than the cause. An omnipotent creator would be an adequate first cause; the universe cannot be it's own cause.
The second law ... a system left to itself will move from order to disorder. Evolutionists would have us ignore this and believe that a system left to itself rose from some primordial goop to the magnificent order we see around us in every bit of creation we study.
(This is the part where you bring up steady state theory...and I refute by reminding you that steady state is outside the realm of empirical science, just as creation or evolution is.)
the rabbi's and the imam's jobs - theological speculation, trying to convince people their own scriptures really are the word of god, and so forth, have no counterparts in science.
Actually, it would seem that your zealous defense of an indefensible position makes my point. Your religion is evolution.
