A Mathematician's View of Evolution

Strawman. That wasn't what was being discussed.

Actually, it was.

[js1138]

I know a lot of people who claim to know all about God, but since they all contradict each other, not more than one of them can be correct.

I feel enormous awe while contemplating existence. It is certainly beyond my ken. But I am not particularly amused by people who claim to have figured it out.

I am much more likely to trust people who study the original manuscripts, the world itself.

[freedumb2003]

I backtracked the discussion.

The question was whether theology is in play when addressing science, not the other way around.

Non Sequitur.

[freedumb2003]

Like I said, you flipped it over.

[Tribune7]

This is pretty much the start of the discussion.

"And just how important is the age of the earth?" is in no way a scientific statement.

[Tribune7]

But I am not particularly amused by people who claim to have figured it out.

Unless of course he writes for TalkOrigins. LOL

[js1138]

I'm not aware of anyone at talkorigins that writes about God. At least I haven't encountered any such writing.

[Tribune7]

They certainly seem to have everything figured out.

[steve-b]

the second law of thermodynamics--at least the underlying principle behind this law--simply says that natural forces do not cause extremely improbable things to happen

What nonsense.

Consider thirty objects in a room. The probability that they will all be in the lower half of the room rather than the upper half is one in 2^30 (about one in a billion) -- and yet a natural force (gravity) produces precisely that outcome.

[js1138]

Only those things accessible to science.

[Tribune7]

Just so long as they keep you amused.

Just-another-Eliza-troll-wannabe placemarker.

[Tribune7]

You're no wannabe, Bal.

You are the gold standards of trolls!!!!

[Jaguarbhzrd]

How did I miss this placemarker

[balrog666]

You didn't miss much ...
