Evidence for God from Science

The definition offered was yours, quoted from one of your own posts (complete with a link). Draw your own conclusions.

I thought I could prove the validity of the scientific method... What does that mean? (I would think you would need an epistemological argument, but that wouldn't constitute proof , just rationale.) By "validity", did you mean "utility". If that's the case, I think your readers ...

This same kind of argument has already been discussed almost a hundred times, do we really need to go into it again? I think we can simplify the argument by saying this: There is alot of power and truth in the bible alone. The philosophy and teaching of Christianity has had such a profound effect o...

"Too complex" begs the question: too complex for what? As I said, all you're doing is freakin' quotin things you don't understand. Begging the question has NOTHING to do with this. KMart, On the whole, I find your posts to be devoid of useful content and common courtesy. From http://www.d...

Testing evolutionary theory is hard, because evolution occurs over many many generations. Therefore, in order to test evolutionary theories, we need to use animals that reproduce quickly. The hypothesis would be that genetic mutations that benefit a species (i.e., result in greater reproductive suc...

Rather, all elements of the Universe were compacted into a single location that became unstable. At that density, elements change, such that we can't radio-carbon date beyond that. It's like a reconstruction of the elements. We make inferences about how elements would behave at that density (largel...

Blue ranges from 420 to 490 nm green ranges from 470 to 590 nanometers in wavelength. ... Operationalization is necessary in a scientific study. Therefore, I'd still like to know the operationalization of "too complex" for the scientific theory of ID. I don't see the connection. The defin...

Proponents of many other theories (e.g., the Big Bang theory, ...), would say that the Universe is infinitely old, ... I realize that you are a philosopher and not a scientist, but what proponents of the Big Bang theory would say the universe is infinitely old ? Since you referenced Cal before, her...

What kind of evidence would it take to change the mind of someone who believes in intelligent design? This is the fundamental pre-requisite of a scientific theory. Could you give us non-philosophers an example ? What kind of evidence would it take to change the mind of someone who believes in evolu...

All I'm doing is comparing the ID theory to alternate theories. ... I am consulting with the ID experts and advocates to explain their case. ... You didn't just believe in it because someone else told you you should, did you? This is sort of a tangential chicken-and-egg question but we don't get ma...

I'm sorry, but I cannot see how the argument I quoted does not fit the template of denial of the antecedent, which is a logically unsound form of argument, also called a logical fallacy. I wrote it out as plainly as I could, so please explain how the argument is different from: If A, then B. Not A,...

Ncooty I won't argue with you about this. With all honesty I can't. You would not beleive what I have to say. Creation is still going on, there are pictures on the net to prove it. One picture is of a new universe forming. You might not need a creator explaination but your asking those like me to d...

Then, it doesn't matter how small the odds are that complex systems would form, if time is infinite, it becomes a logical, mathematical necessity that complex systems would form. [I'm not so sure that this statement is true but don't want to get sidetracked.] Let us assume that it is, for the sake ...

Even the Big Bang theory doesn't suggest that something came from nothing. The conjecture is that the physical elements of the universe (again, I'll include energy and mass in that broad term) were confined to a small space. We know these dense masses exist. That's what a black hole is. [You might ...

If something like the universe is infinite, then how and why is it infinite, what caused it to be infinite? Did non-existent nature create nature? How does material of any kind form from nothing? The problem you seem to be having is that God had to be created, but we are told He wasn't in the Bible...
