Evidence for God from Science

You can ignore the evidence, but it remains. As I said, most Christians acknowledge that evolution is consistent with our faith. You see it. You can check on it, if you choose. "Everyone is entitled to his own opiinions, but no one is entitled to his own facts." Find a way to accept it.

Could someone point out to me how the theory that life arose from natural selection No such theory. Abiogenesis does not involve natural selection. Perhaps other evolutionary processes were involved. Were you confusing the methodological naturalism we were talking about, with evolutionary theory in...

ARgon-Argon yields correct dates. Yep. Directly calibrated with a known date. ARgon-Argon yields incorrect dates. When improperly used, and only then. Argon-Argon isn't reliable. No method is reliable when used improperly. But as you learned, it is both reliable and accurate. IT is not known what a...

Many good Christians hold Genesis to be literal. Many good Christians don't.

There are good, and God-loving, and learned people on all sides of the issue.

Not a salvation issue.

Yep, polyploidy does produce new species. The new species is completely unable to reproduce with the old, which is the definition of species.

Polyploidy is interesting, because it's sudden, and produces species quickly enough that humans can see it happen.

Personally, I think that the existence of people like Kurt Wise (a very intelligent, well-educated, God-loving, and sane person, who is a YE creationist) shows that it is possible to reject evolution without being evil, stupid, ignorant, or crazy. He simply says that the evidence would have no effec...

Well, let's see if we can make this easier... There are now about 1.1 billion Roman Catholics, slightly more than half of all Christians. http://www.adherents.com/adh_rb.html The Catholic Church's position on evolution: Concerning biological evolution, the Church does not have an official position o...

Yehren on the notion that evolution couldn't work by blind chance: Me, too. Fortunately, evolutionary theory doesn't say blind chance is how it works. Actually, in many parts, yes that's all you got. Nope. When in comes to life coming about naturalistically, all you have is blind chance, Two errors ...

According to the assumptions foundational to potassium-argon (K-Ar) and argon-argon (Ar-Ar) dating of rocks, there should not be any daughter radiogenic argon (40Ar*) in rocks when they form. Right. When rock is liquified, the clock is reset, because it's offgassed. This is why even very recent flo...

What is that noise?

His creation proceding, I suppose.

Yehren observes: As most Christians acknowledge, there is nothing in scripture that is inconsistent with evolution. Bizzt and August have both told you this is in fact not true. So stop lying. But it is very true. If you doubt that the Catholic Church says that evolution is consistent with Christian...

Hmmm... I don't think so. There are old Hebrew prayers that say God is not corporeal, and that He does not have human features.

To which words do you refer in Hebrew?

Recently, radiometric testing was verified in a brand new way. The volcanic flows that covered Pompeii were dated using argon/argon methods. And it worked. Very accurate, even with extremely young deposits. A powerful geologic dating technique called argon-argon dating has pegged the 79 A.D. eruptio...

Blind chance is not a good naturalistic cause-it looks more like hand waiving to me. Me, too. Fortunately, evolutionary theory doesn't say blind chance is how it works. And since we're talking origins here, instead of operational science, it is absurd to require only naturalistic explanations. That...

So you would think a concept such as "Directed Panspermia" (as advocated by Francis Crick, the co-discoverer of the DNA structure), should also be taught in a philosophy class? Yep. See above. Pure speculation. No evidence. Or that classes on archaeology, foresics, I have a little formal ...
