Why should I bother to support something that is self-evident?

I see. You don't need to support your assertions because they're "self-evident," but if I don't support my responses, I'm a troll. Forgive me if I don't accept those rules of engagement.

the fact remains that “science,” falsely so called, is predicated on a denial of the existence of God.

That's not true. Oh sorry, I forgot, it's "self-evident."

When you make the claim that the evolutionists “don’t care” about the origins of cell life, you do spread a falsehood,

I didn't say evolutionists don't care about the origins of life. They're scientists, it's an interesting question, of course they "care" on that basis. What I said was that the theory does not care how life started. And it doesn't. Now who's spreading falsehoods?

They must appeal to these ridiculous things

I suppose the ridiculousness is another one of those self-evident things.

You’re not a scientist. You’re not writing research papers. You’re not in the universities teaching. You’re not putting forward papers detailing how God would have created the first living cell.

Scientists write research papers based on experiments they perform and the evidence those experiments provide. What research program would confirm creation by God? What would be the evidence? I don't mean the "I can't think of anything else so it must be God" kind of negative evidence--I prefer not to confine God to the ever-diminishing space left by what science has not yet managed to figure out. I mean evidence that would show exactly what God did, and when, to create life. Scientists would love to uncover such evidence--do you realize how famous the scientist that found it would be?

This is why I don't like to discuss this issue on a religious basis. People believe what they believe, and evidence doesn't enter into it. Believe what you want and go in peace.

I suppose if you’re an infidel, aliens or whatnot are perfectly reasonable explanations for life on Earth. (Better than supposing that there is a God!) But then the question becomes, “where did they come from?” Thus, at best, these ridiculous things are only a vain dodge.

“Scientists write research papers based on experiments they perform and the evidence those experiments provide.”


Nonsense, how many experiments have there been of one type of creature evolving into an entirely different kind? And yet they do not cease barking like dogs about it. Aside from the wailings of the atheists and evolutionists that science cannot test for the existence of God, and therefore He ought to be put out of all consideration, they still make all of their assumptions on mere models that assume only naturalisstic mechanisms for these things, by your own admission.

“This is why I don’t like to discuss this issue on a religious basis. People believe what they believe, and evidence doesn’t enter into it. Believe what you want and go in peace.”


Indeed, believe whatever “science fiction” you wish to believe, and hopefully hell is not too hot!
