Where does that say I can't tell the difference between something designed and something that isn't?
The fact that you would class it a "painting" infers a judgement on your part."
Ditto for the person doing the inferring. It is a "painting" because the person was able to infer that.
Don't be foolish. Being a scientist has to do with science, which obviously answers this charge ---He stated a fact: "Creationists don't do science."---, except for someone with a severe lack of mental capability.
He understood a great deal. I met him when I was in college and he was retired. He was a client of my father and my father introduced me to him. We never discussed evolution, but back then I would have been discussing it differently than I am now.
I won't be posting for awhile. One of our residents in our homeless ministry was murdered today.
I'm not sure what they think as they have not said. I wonder if they have a ping list. Cheers to you to!
Sorry about the trouble at your ministry Shubi. God bless.
I'm sorry about the news. I pray for you, your ministry and those that loved the victim. I will also pray for lost one.
God bless you,
Andy
And yet the anti-science side has no explanations of anything at all. Do you fall into the Creationist camp or the ID camp? Or will that remain unexplained as well?
Our prayers are with you.
I guess it COULD be that 'reading for context' thing.

I've noticed that too. For example Elsie has wilful blindness about almost everything to do with the Theory of Evolution, because it makes her uncomfortable.
I hope that you are a POOR example of what passes for 'an objective observer'.
To see all the evidence about me on these threads and still come to THAT conclusion makes me wonder about how much actual 'study' you have done on your own about other subjects..
I further note that later in that thread you made repeated postings that made you seem almost totally ignorant of the Theory of Evolution; a bizarre ignorance in the light of your claim to have studied the evidence for it and your religion's dislike of false witness.
In that thread on more than one occasion you professed that you had found contradictions in my posts and others where non existed. I speculate that if you have read mainstream evolutionary texts your demon-filter has been highlighting "contradictions" to you, absolving you from the necessity of actually considering the arguments in those books properly. That seems a reasonable speculation given your evident behavior in these threads.
You have carried on that behavior (finding non-existent contradictions, and wilful misinterpretations of "e" posts) in this thread. I am not the only person to have noticed this behavior on your part.
I've drawn my conclusions about your mental processes from the evidence available to me.
Which thread is that?
It seems you should be making these comments THERE instead of here.
I'll gladly go over any thing I've posted again, to find out what you are refering to, as I can't from this reply.
I already did. I am afraid I don't believe your assertion that you will now take them seriously. It was only about (6 weeks?) ago so I don't think it likely that your memory is so poor that you don't remember us having this conversation last time round. (Or if your memory is that poor then I don't see any point in discussing much of anything with you)
Anyway, I'm making the comments here because your are repeating the behavior here, with both Dimensio and myself. Why not discuss it here and now where you are doing it again?
Ok, bring up the stuff you wish. I've go for it.
I will if I have to, but I'm not sure why you are making me go and look it up. (I know you have to back up claims in open debate, but this is a conversation with YOU only a few weeks ago) Do you not remember it? In the meantime you could address the same issues as they've appeared this thread.

So, are you claiming to not remember the very similar conversation last time round? I'm still not clear on what your answer is to that.
