This guy had better be more specific. Evolution has been "proven".

No, it hasn't

Oh, sure it has. In fact, I have seen it myself in some of the labs where I work. Those bacterial cultures are easy to manipulate.

Please note the KEY OPERATIVE, manipulate, in your statement. Leave those bacterial cultures to themselves and reproduce another unsuccessful evolution THEORY validation attempt!

All proponents of evolution that have replied in this thread have missed the point . . . as usual. The intent of the $250,000 offer is not to prove or disprove a particular world-view. The individual offering the money is in no jeopardy of losing a single dime. Also, anyone offering money for the proof of Biblical Creation would likewise assume no risk. The offer is a means of coercing those espousing evolution theory to admit their conviction is based upon a belief system and not true science.

Are you referring to intelligent intervention? Hmmm?

But you see...the bacterial cultures were manipulated from an outside source...they did not change by themselves. The real conflict between evolutionism and creationism is the clash of observable empiricism vs. classical rationalism; the notion that true wisdom and knowldge must be induced from observable data vs deduced from accepted age old beliefs and norms. There is no room in modern scientific thinking for DEUS EX MACHINA as the founding power of the universe for this would diminish man's notion of control over his universe. How and where the very essence of matter came into being, how it separated into many disparate substances with their associated laws,energies and synergies are questions that are to be set aside as tautologous and there-fore not subject to rational discussion...though classical RATIONALISM which placed the DIVINE as the center of all existence would provide some very useful starting points in the investigation into the ORIGIN of EVERYTHING!
