Now, if Darwinism had anything to do with conservatism, you might have a point.
Then "Darwinism" can't be the issue either, since it's only incompatible with Christianity (and/or theism in general) by the stipulative, gratuitous and utterly ahistorical definition contrived by the ID types.
Their definition of "Darwinism" has nothing to do with understanding of the term by self-described "Darwinists". It's exactly like stipulating that pro-lifers are, by definition, religious extremists. It completely ignores notable Darwinists like R.A. Fisher, Francisco Ayala, Ken Miller, Simon Conway Morris, etc, who were or are theists. In fact all the preceding are professing Christians specifically.
So you claim you know Jonathan Wells metal faculties - how did you gain this knowledge? Have you ever met this man? Did you evaluate him? What is your Ph.D. in?
We all know you likely know absolutely nothing about his mental faculties - your statement is just poor cover for your bigoted statement
100 years from now, our descendants will all be living in a North American caliphate, and this silly little debate won't be permitted.
It's propaganda.
Evolution certainly won't be taught. But at least we'll all be religious.
What difference does it make if it was plural or not - I did not direct the comment at any person therefore it can not be a personal attack.
If I say "Watch out for the idiots" - is that a personal attack? ...only if you think you are an idiot.
They're also separate species. I don't get your point. Whether they can't, or simply don't, or even if they do but hybrids are sterile, of if they do with sufficient rarity that population genotypes are unaffected, etc, whatever. In all these cases their populations are reproductively isolated.
"Define 'Christianity.'"
St. Paul teaches us in Galatians that Christianity is the acceptance of the belief that Jesus was the Messiah, that he died for our sins, and, through the power of God, defeated death, thereby giving the promise of eternal life to all those who accept that gift.
In Romans and other letters, St. Paul instructs us not to bicker about the denominational details (which is basically anything more than the first paragraph).
Yeap.
So why do Evo's enter cosmology debates?
Um, we don't *know* that light took a 'very long time' to reach us.
We calculate that it did based on an *assumption* that the speed of light is unchanged over time. In some cases, we add that *assumption* to another *assumption* that redshift equals distance for even older age calculations.
This quite a different thing than 'knowing'.
Well I am guessing you have not reproduced with Pussy Cat Dolls (a group) (even though you could) - me neither - we are a group - what do you want to call out species?
....jeeze, it's a joke - lighten up.
Enough of the unsupported accusations - can you explain what you think I took out of context rather than spew personal insults?
So porn is completely compatible with Chrisianity too? I think we need a more definitive answer, although I agree with you. Maybe the wrong question is being asked.
How about this, "define, based on what is in the Bible Christianities teaching about the origin of life."
And then this: "Does the Bible specifically say that types of living things were made "as is" or does it give 'wiggle room' for the idea that some species came from others?"

You are a real blow-hard. I went back to the post of which you claim I took you out of context - you are so full of it - I quoted the entire paragraph.
Lets review:
#160
mugs99: "I'm a Deist. We are agnostics. We believe that the question of God's existence isn't answerable. To answer the question of God's existence would require proof. Do you have that proof?"
LVD: "God by definition is a matter of faith - I think you are barking up the wrong tree"
If sure looks like you are the one being dishonest because I clearly did not take your statement out of context.
Evo's take personal insults to a whole new level.
Evo Strategy: if you can't intellectually challenge someone's positions - you can always spew personal insults (and they are so cute when you put them into a little song, like a preschooler)
