hey, PH, I have a question for you...frequently on these threads we see creationists spout the same old tired lies and charicatures of the TOE. Those erratta and misconceptions are routinely pointed out, as are the misconceptions regarding scientific methods. Evidence (that "doesn't exist") is presented in voluminous amounts, as are refutations to probably EVERY creationist claim.

To your knowledge, has ANY creationist here EVER said, "Sorry, I did not know that. I was wrong to say that evolution covers the origin of life...(or whatever else was proven wrong)"?

I want to know if any have ever shown a shred of honesty and inquisitiveness, or even simple contrition.

The slurs fly fast from them, as does the whining when they feel "attacked". I wonder if any are courteous enough to admit their mistakes when proven?

Not really. But many, when presented with information that clearly contradicts their creationist views, just go away. I don't know if they ever question their sources of information. The hard-core ... well, you know.

"From 'them?'" Though uninvited, may I hazard a reply? What slurs? What whining? What attacks? Prove the "mistakes" of your opponent: and then, if they amount to a hill of beans, maybe if fairly persuaded by your carefully qualified evidence and rigorous reasoning, he'd thus be courteous enough to admit them....

Rhetoric only goes so far. So speak in particulars please, so that your objections may be out in the open clearly enough to be publicly refuted.

OK, where does ToE begin? Single cell? Amino Acids? Frog? You guys propose a process and talk endlessly of the process, but you never EXPLICITLY state where that process begins? It is like someone talking about Fords and Chevys and how they run and their horsepower but never mentioning Detroit.

Sorry but ToE infers that life ultimately came from the inorganic by natural processes. Even current textbooks in secondary education still show pictures, or give the hypothesis of life climbing heriocially out of the muck.

You evolutionists started this game, you don't get to change the definitions and the rules in the 4th quarter.
