Nope...see FR is a place where liberals get exposed. And where liberalism is exposed.

And ignorance. Sometimes the same thing.

And when you keep arguing that people don’t know what science or falsifiability is, when you’ve been shown over and over that SCIENTISTS, trained at MIT, Princeton and Johns Hopkins for starters...,

You don’t know what science or falsifiability is. Maybe you could tell me what they said about the falsifiability of Creationism?

And you still can’t explain how Creationism or ID is falsifiable. LOL!

I thought we were talking about the origin of life? Is your car battery alive?<

Don't crystals form structures with no intelligent influence? What do I win?

Nothing. Crystal formation is no indication of lack of intelligent influence. You're assuming the conclusion.

The molecules performing the way they were designed to and that is not evidence that there was no intelligence behind their structure.

Besides, you're comparing apples to oranges, at least. Crystals are very simple lattice work patterns. DNA contains vast amounts of information and code. Show a source that that can produce information that is KNOWN to not have intelligence behind it.

Those sneaky scientists, hiding the word "Theory", right at the front of the phrase, "Theory of Evolution". How long did it take you to see that word....right there....in front?

WE get it.

It's some of you guys that can't seem to get the difference between theory and fact.

That's right. And when they support liberal big government thought control of the public school systems, they are exposed as the liberals they are.

Could you rephrase this? Not sure what you're trying to say.

You're assuming the conclusion.

No I'm not. Simply gave an example "that chemicals grouped together on their own to form structures".

The molecules performing the way they were designed

Huh?

and that is not evidence that there was no intelligence behind their structure.

And no evidence that there is.

Besides, you're comparing apples to oranges, at least.

No, just answering a simple question. Maybe you could do the same?

How is Creationism or ID falsifiable?

It's some of you guys that can't seem to get the difference between science and religion.

One can never disprove that there was not no non-intelligence behind the structure.

I didn't go to public schools. And my schools managed to teach science in the science classes and religion in the religion classes.

I'm sorry that the public schools you attended left you bitter and ignorant.

I don’t need to do any such thing for someone who can’t even first explain his own untenable position of suing scientists into silence that disagree with his UNscientific ideology/worldview...

I think when you asked your question about “Why couldn’t God make us from algae”?, your response to my answer told everyone what they needed to know the truth about you. Your interest isn’t at all about science.

Yeah, but if it WERE possible would it be from a great ape, you know the same animal that can’t quite figure out the reverse is also true?

Sorry, that's not my position.

Funny coming from someone who doesn't know what science is.

Any chance then that your folks can get a refund?

A refund because I understand science? What school system failed you?

Yup...ignorant liberals. Good point.

I know enough to know when I see ignorant liberals. Arguing about things that they call science, when they're clearly not at all about science. All while demanding answers to questions WHILE they hide behind science as only enforced by courts.


But you no doubt will continue with your talking points like so many helpless liberals before you.

And ignorant conservatives, who don't understand science.

Like Creationism, I agree.

As opposed to hiding behind religion. Got it.

But you no doubt will continue with your talking points

Let me know if you ever figure out what falsifiability means. LOL!

Your parents deserve a refund after you so foolishly and publically exposed yourself by failing to understand the difference between ideology and science, and your mis-understanding of religion.

Your earlier response to the algae question was where most people knew for certain you were a hopeless liberal.

The more you struggle in your quicksand the quicker you sink!

We saw more evidence of their idiocy today with ACORN saying the Republican party is just trying to suppress voter turnout!

Liberals demand everyone not see the forest for the trees, just like they can’t!

Sorry, die hard Reagan Republican here.

If more scientific evidence were found or a better theory were proposed, I'd have no problem replacing the Theory of Evolution with something new. That's how science works.

Could new evidence or a better theory convince you that the "Theory of Creationism" was wrong?
