The problem is that you are just transferring the question of abiogenesis from earth to some unknown planet. You are not resolving the serious scientific problems with such a theory at all. Also such an assumption is not science. Science deals with what can be tested, such an assumption is untestable.
No, those educators are not insane, they are just very arrogant, very accomplished liars. They do not care about the truth, they do not care about education - that is why kids keep getting dumber every year, all they care about is their agenda, their atheistic agenda.
1. 100%.
2. Life on earth.
3. The proven impossibility of abiogenesis.
Now, it might be one thing to believe that one or two such events had ever occurred in the history of the world, "
The evolutionists cannot even prove that one such event has ever occurred, let alone the millions of times which totally new organisms have been created.
The evolutionists have no problem attacking and defaming our beliefs, but when someone attacks them in the same manner they get indignant. Here is what I was responding to:
If Jesus were here now He would say:
"Render unto science that which is science."
"Render unto mythology that which is mythology."
The above is extremely offensive to Christians and was totally uncalled for.
Thanks!
The way science works is that it proves its propositions. There is absolutely no proof for the theory of evolution but there is tons of proof for all other scientific theories. Half of what Darwin said in his books, on what he based his theory has been disproven by real science. The evolutionists never enter into discussion as to what the science is of their atheistic/materialistic philosophy because there is none.
You are absolutely wrong. Social Darwinism was not the misuse of Darwinian theory, it was putting Darwinian theory into action:
With savages, the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated; and those that survive commonly exhibit a vigorous state of health. We civilised men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination; we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed, and the sick; we institute poor-laws; and our medical men exert their utmost skill to save the life of every one to the last moment. There is reason to believe that vaccination has preserved thousands, who from a weak constitution would formerly have succumbed to small-pox. Thus the weak members of civilised societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. It is surprising how soon a want of care, or care wrongly directed, leads to the degeneration of a domestic race; but excepting in the case of man himself, hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed.
Darwin, "The Descent of Man", Chapter V.
That's your boy speaking, not social darwinists, not creationists, but your man himself, the immoral, the racist, the mysogenist Charles Darwin. And all the quotes given to you are not just a peripheral part of his theory but an essential part of his theory.
The point is, that a non-idiot could potentially belive that one or two such events in the whole history of the world might have occurred but that, normally, i.e. when there is no quasi-religious reason for it, when a person starts to believe that an essentially endless series of such events has happened, you're looking at a much bigger problem.
In that case, the person is basically saying "Hey, you know, modern mathematics and probability theory and all that stuff is a bunch of BS, and I don't buy it.
In what way was my pointing out your confusion of the Law of Gravity with the non-existant Theory of Gravity an "attack" on you (as distinct from an attack on your claim)? How was pointing out that Mendel's ratios are not only not "proven", but are not even factually true of numerous real world cases Clintonesque? How was my very politely demuring from your absurd implication that "relativity" tells us all we need to know about "atomic bombs" ad hominem?
For Gosh sakes, on that last point I even resisted pointing out to you that relativity theory deals with macroscopic phenomena, says nothing (directly) about nuclear interactions, and has little if anything to do with actually building "atom bombs".
Let us assume that I genuinely wanted to attack your claim that "gravity" is a "proved theory". Is there any possible way I could do that which would not cause you to squeal like a Palestinian caught with an explosive belt that you had been subjected to unfair personal attack?
Guess it is an insult to quote what the man said? Guess it is an insult to quote parts of the theory you so dearly defend? It is not an insult to call OJ Simpson a murderer. It is not an insult to call Clinton a pervert. It is a statement of fact. You may not like my calling Darwin by those names, however they are accurate and I have given proof of their truth.
It is also quite interesting that you equate an attack on Darwin as an attack on the Bible. It proves very well the truth of the article here. It proves very well what Christians have been saying here - evolution is an atheistic/materialistic philosophy, not science. Darwinism is your religion.
You were responding to post 201, which is no longer available. It must have been bad enough to yank...
Evolution was not hijacked by evil doers. Darwinism is the soul of Nazism and there is a direct connection to it through Darwin's big atheistic buddy Haeckel. Also, it was Darwin's other great buddy, the atheist Huxley who coined the term "amoral" as a defense of the immorality in Darwinian theory. Also see my post #214 for more proof of the perversity of Darwinism.
BTW - name one instance of the Sermon on the Mount being misused by evil doers (or the Ten Commandments).
