The Vanishing Case for Evolution

ICR ^ | February 12, 2009 | Henry Morris, Ph.D.*

[Buck W.]

No. Are you saying that the Bible is literally inerrant?

[Jeff Gordon]

Behe and others make a strong case for intelligent design.

A strong case that has been demolished in court.

[Jeff Gordon]

how long does it take you ....?

What does this strawman have to do with evolution?

[wolf78]

It may not prove that a god does not exist, but Human Evolution certainly seeks to prove that the literal Genesis is false.

So what? The laws of physics already disprove that. General relativity, nuclear physics etc. all require a solar system that is significantly older than what Genesis says. Cars with satellite navigation, nuclear power plants etc. are all not compatible with Genesis. In that sense using the internet is more or less admitting that Genesis can't be read litteraly.

It's a theory that opposes the Christian's God; therefor, it is acceptable and must be forced on the masses by government.

It's also what produces a scientifically literate workforce and saves many thousands of lives during flu season (influenza vaccine). You simply can't have it both ways: Modern biotech and a purely literal reading of the bible.

[Jeff Gordon]

Are you saying that the Bible is literally inerrant?

No one who understands that the Bible of collection of bed time stories told by bronze age men would ever make that claim.

What does this strawman have to do with evolution?

Oh I get it...it's ludicrous to think falling trees could form a log cabin by chance...but it's "pure science" to believe that all life on the earth is by chance. Gotcha.

[Darwin Fish]

Evolution posits that there are likely to be transitional organisms as one species evolves from another. It does not hold that there are going to be large numbers of such individuals and large numbers of fossils from them, nor does it hold that those fossils will be preserved and found.

You will quickly find that you are wasting your time. The young earth creationists have taken over. Scientists are being driven out.

[Jeff Gordon]

Gotcha.

You have been watching too much Obama. He, too, uses ridicule when he does not want to confront an issue head on.

The laws of physics disprove the literal Genesis.... LOL... I missed that in physics class. I can't wait to hear that one.

all require a solar system that is significantly older than what Genesis says

Why do they require that?

Evolution does not produce a scientific workforce, and Human Evolution, most certainly, is not science at all. Modern bio tech does not disprove the literal Genesis in the slightest. Human Evolution is the only evolution that disproves the literal Genesis. Human Evolution is one of the most laughable scientific theories ever recorded, so I'm quite certain the literal Genesis will always be accurate.

[Cedric]

Get ready for a big surprise.

[Jaime2099]

Scientists are being driven out.

If by scientists you mean religious zealot followers of evolution who use the government to force their religion on people, then I agree with you.

But if you mean scientists as in men who respect science and its methods of testing, then I strongly disagree.

[Rockingham]

On the mark. God is not a trickster, putting before us natural processes to contradict Revelation and faith. More likely is a misunderstanding of what God has told us.

[Cedric]

Let me guess: You're a fiscal conservative.

[wolf78]

I missed that in physics class.

High schools usually don't teach general relativity and advanced cosmology.

Why do they require that?

General relativity and instable universe as evidenced by astronomical redshift, stellar nucleosynthesis of heavier elements etc.

[steve-b]

High schools generally do teach enough astronomy to demonstrate that much of what we see is more than 6000 light-years away (and therefore existed more than 6000 years ago in order to be seen at all).

[Pox]

A conservative is not defined as a bible thumping absolutist in my dictionary, although the MSM has waged an effective propaganda campaign to the contrary.

By all means, if you want to see Republicans and conservatives permanently out of power, continue to alienate young voters with your scorn and ridicule. In their eyes, once again thanks to stereotypes promoted primarily by liberals in the MSM, Republicans are no different from the Taliban.

What is needed is to convince to young voters that the stereotype that the left has crafted is in fact a despicable exaggeration. Pushing your beliefs upon others who have rejected them is not the way to go about eradicating that stereotype, IMO.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I believe that a day is a day is a day. God created and did it in 6 days.

[LeGrande]

Can you show me anywhere where “Evolutionists allege that evolution is a proved scientific fact, based on a multitude of scientific proofs,” aside from your Deist sources?

Science is not about proof, it is about falsification. When someone says that science claims to have a proof, that person is simply ignorant or a nut case.

Do you think that science has proofs? Do you support spreading lies and misinformation?

[Jaime2099]

General relativity and instable universe as evidenced by astronomical redshift, stellar nucleosynthesis of heavier elements etc.

If you're talking about the Big Bang Theory, then say hi to the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny for me. If not, then I apologize.

[GLDNGUN]

You have been watching too much Obama. He, too, uses ridicule when he does not want to confront an issue head on.

No, I'm afraid it's Rush I listen to. He uses ridicule to point out the ridiculous. Evidently, this too is over your head.
