angryoldfatman: "There's hundreds, if not thousands, of these quotes that prove you wrong.
Better yet, declare these evolutionary scientists 'incoherent' and shoot yourself in the foot."

Those quotes prove only what I've already explained to you, at great length, for example, in post #30 above.
And yes, they are incoherent, because they assert, as fact, what cannot be observed or confirmed, namely that: the methodological naturalism of modern science necessitates a corresponding philosophical naturalism -- a.k.a. atheism.

Since philosophical naturalism cannot be observed or confirmed, and since it denies the existence of something many people personally experience in their lives, it falls into the category of "faith" and "religion", not science.

So to review, I'll ask you once again, grab hold of your wandering mind, and force it to think logically:
Modern science (including evolution) is methodologically natural science, meaning a search exclusively for natural explanations to natural processes.
Such methodology does not deny the existence of a supernatural realm, simply refuses, by definition, to examine it.

So people with scientific day-jobs are perfectly free to go home to their families at night and practice whatever religion they wish, and indeed, huge numbers do just that.

But your quotes, angryoldfatman, all come from believers in, in effect, an atheistic philosophy/religion called, among other things: "philosophical naturalism", or "ontological naturalism" or "metaphysical naturalism".
It simply means they have made the choice to deny the existence of anything outside the natural realm.
That's their free-will choice, it's not science.

So, how many times do I need to repeat this before the basic concept sinks into your, excuse me, fat head, FRiend?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAAHAA!!

Your extraordinary claim is the one that is incoherent. You can't prove it.

Evolutionary scientists have proven themselves correct.

And I stopped reading your idiotic textwalls several pages ago, because of your incoherence, have the reading comprehension of a retarded goat, and an REMF besides.

Here is the only type of post you understand:


"Evolution is the greatest engine of atheism," [says Cornell biology professor William Provine]. Attempts to join evolution with God are futile, as seen in beliefs that God is simply natural law itself or that God created but now is silent. "Those gods, frankly, are worthless," Provine says. "They don't give life after death, they don't answer prayers, they don't give you foundations for ethics. In fact they give you nothing." - Larry A. Witham.
