Yeah I admit it was a snipe. It’s just that I have posted hundreds of times on the subject and don’t have the time at the moment to offer a full up analysis because I know that ultimately it will boil down to a set of beliefs, religious in nature posing as science from evolutionists.

There are many many fatal flaws in the logic of evolutionists.

And I am not creatist or Intelligent design type either. I have a PhD in Statistics and I know a little how scientists cobble a ‘story’ together from disparate facts and inferences, how they perpetuate a mystical script in a science wrapper.

At least Christians are honest in calling theirs a belief system based on faith. Evolutionists OTOH go to great lengths to measure and record and draw inference in a manner and style that mimics the scientific method but at its core requires a belief in an unproved ‘law’, the law being that of evolutionary natural selection of which certain aspects are compelling but never entirely convincing unless of course one is a true believer.

But true believers outside a system of faith are political entities, not scientists. For example, Paul R. Erlich of the 1968 sixties “Population Bomb” who is presently advocating street fighting with Global Warming deniers.

So I have been conditioned to react to any article that starts with a basis in ‘Evolution’ as a religious document.

Because in the final analysis evolution to me is nothing more than an interspecies map connected by relations determined from maximum likelihood estimates based on sparse data. To me the leap to evolution is a whole lot of whooey.

Also have you ever noticed how the evolutonists always want to point the argument into an assault on creatists.

While you just articulated it different than I did, it has always been my point that one does not need to be a creatist to doubt and ultimately reject evolution as anything but a religious belief and not a science. All one has to is study its works and I have

The evolutionists will resort to any distraction from a hard look at the points you made so they resort to various strawmen and other such tactics.

Corrected.

At least Christians are honest in calling theirs a belief system based on faith.

We are told over and over by Christians that there is only one truth and we are told it is a fact that anyone that doesn't know this truth will burn in hell.
