Evos have constantly posted both support for the theory, and evidence the creationists are wrong. I don't know how long you've been on these threads, but PH's List-o-links and Ichneumon's massive "evidence postings" are good examples. Hell, I've created about 21 iterations of "The Ultimate Creation vs. Evolution Resource" myself. After a while, though, hearing the same worn-out, tired tactics used by the creos gets to be a little tiresome.

Creationists use the same techniques as Democrats. They avoid the evidence, and when they find themselves losing an argument, they trot out the "Nazi" tag (and the "commie" tag, too, which you'll never hear from a Democrat). They also perpetually scream about "Christian bashing" to cover their poor qualifications for this fight.

Now, like I asked, do you actually have any POSITIVE evidence for the creationist position?

Interesting that you should use the word 'positive' repeatedly, since the basis for the present day scientific community's acceptance of only the impersonal as evidence, and the denial of the metaphysical in science, was the philosophy of 'positivism.'..........

In reference to your demand that I come up with something 'positive' let me begin with this caveat. We, as Creationists have been put in a defensive posture because our classrooms have been inundated with teachers and professors following textbooks that have continued to teach guesswork as fact, so we have been forced to try to prove what is NOT as opposed to what IS.

Scientists who come up with positive evidence for creation are censured or fired. Students who challenge teachers with evidence contrary to the evolutionary philosophy are punished with lower grades or ridiculed. Even here on this forum, we are repeatedly called stupid..........or worse.

The positive evidence for creation can be found in the intricacy of nature; in the encoding of the extraordinary material for producing protein and the building blocks of life in a DNA molecule that defy any Darwinian mechanism; in the human body - it's functions and reproduction; but most profoundly in the human spirit, creative ability and abstract thinking, that cannot be explained by your 19th century materialistic philosophy.

The very fact that you are bright enough to question your Creator is evidence that you were created, and not the product of an impersonal process such as evolution.

Junior...........you asked me a question, and I answered it in order to begin a dialogue with you.

Is there a reason that you (once again) left our discussion in midstream?

I'm beginning to think that you are unable to maintain a rational discussion on this subject.........
