That is a rather interesting question? I have taken no position on the article therefore you demand I take a position? You definitely operate on bizarre logic.
Whatever. I will play your game
I see no evidence to support this claim by Wells: "The truth is Darwinism is not a scientific theory, but a materialistic creation myth masquerading as science. It is first and foremost a weapon against religion – especially traditional Christianity."
I would like to see valid objections to the content of the article - I think personal attacks on Wells are silly and claims that the article is full of lies without presenting any evidence are pointless.
Now I answered your question - are you going to state your position.
Can you provide an example or is this yet another baseless empty accusation? Show me where I "dished it out"
The statement itself is an implicit indictment of both the authors and proponents of TToE and paints them as having constructed a fraudulent theory for the puppose of destroying religion, and I question why Wells would make such a statement without providing the evidence to back it up.
As usual, I either skipped this or missed it somehow.
Can you point me in the right direction to read this?
But it IS one of my favorite cartoons!
Interesting...
HOW do you 'know' there is a GOD and yet NOT 'know' if he (HE?) has a plan???
Then you, in your vast powers as a Human, have limited what your 'god' can do!
I do, however, tend to agree with this!
Darwin became, if not an atheist, at least an agnostic.
I wonder if they'll really, really feel that their choice of rebellion against God and His perfect Word was worth it then.
Go figure, huh? I guess it's worth it to pretend for a very short period that you know much more than God.
And that's the funny thing. Being wrong if one is a Christian costs one nothing (with the possible exception of having tried to live an exemplary life based upon one's Faith in Jesus Christ).
Those who kneel instead at the altar of Darwinism cannot say the same... what they risk for their twisted belief-structure (if they are wrong) is hardly worth the effort.
Pass the barbecue sauce...
:-o
I think you are trying to say *unique* evidence, not just evidence.
That was the point of Sir Fred Hoyle's quote:
"We know that the difference between a heliocentric theory and a geocentric theory is one of relative motion only, and that such a difference has no physical significance."
Sir Fred Hoyle, Astronomy and Cosmology, 1975, p. 416, (Quoted in Spring, 02 BA, p.64.)
Do you understand what 'no physical significance' means?
Dude, I'm starting to worry about you. I suggest you check Post 726. It has your name on it. So, either I'm hallucinating, or someone has pinched your nic....
'Millenia of erosion' is, of course, consistent with a 6,000 year old earth. 'Millenia' being 1,000 years. I think you meant something different, but you did not state it correctly. Or perhaps you meant YEC because that's what you said.
And please, don't give us the 'evolution is teleological' argument. Evolution is not teleological and has no bias toward complexity.
Conspiracy is not required. Merely an 'a priori' assumption of naturalism. This *requires* long ages simply because 'evolution' cannot create humans in 6,000 years.
Faith in the unseen (abiogenesis, big bang, millions of years) is required for all religions, even pantheism.
You merely say that you believe that you must limit your acceptable theories to naturalistic ones. That's fine. You admit what most don't. In the end, it is a metaphysical choice. One that will definitely return the wrong answer if, in fact, you are observing a supernatural creation.
Are you able to understand that your metaphysical choice will return an incorrect answer if you are actually looking at a supernatural creation?
Then you, in your vast powers as a Human, have limited what your 'god' can do!"Touche!
Again, this metaphysical decision on your part will guarantee an incorrect conclusion if you are, in fact, trying to understand a supernatural creation.
Do you understand the limitation that you have placed on yourself?
I do not kneel at the altar of man, but only at the altar of God.
OBTW, some of the biggest knives in my back were placed there by people who concealed their (lack of) character behind an avalanche of 'born-again' lingo.
My advice to you is this: treat others as you would want to be treated, and you will bring people to a knowledge of The Word; open your mouth and you will drive them away.
This elemental rule applies to 90% of so-called evangelicals, many of whom (obviously) have not gained the "gift of discernment" judging by some of their statements...like yours above, for example...
I think you are trying to say *unique* evidence, not just evidence.
You think wrong. Now please tell us all what evidence you have for your belief that the earth is the center of the universe.
As usual, someone comes along, such as you have done and decides who will and who will not go to Hell...you have no authority, and no power...all your have is your own wishful thinking...which of course, counts for nothing at all...
...Evo-chimps are scorched for eternity in Hell.
Pass the barbecue sauce...
No comment. Just wanted to repeat the highlights and the essence of the post.
