Yes, the first release was not Johnson's statement. It was apparently not intended for distribution, but was accidentally sent out in a press packet. The strategy was originally brought to the public's attention by a leaked fund raising tool, informally known as the Wedge Document, used by the Disco...

(Yehren observes that man evolved from other primates, not amoebae) Do you have any evidence of this? Yep. The evidence consists of fossil evidence, molecular evidence, genetics, and a few other things. What would you like to hear about first? Most evolutionists admit that they cannot find the creat...

A scientif fact ? Suppose you try and provide some solid evidence from the origin of an ameoba to human bieng. That isn't what evolutonary theory predicts. Humans evolved from other primates, not amoebae. Amoebae, BTW, are too highly evolved in their own fashion to have been the ancestors of metazo...

If you were walking along a desert plateau and stumbled upon a wristwatch what would you assume to be the origin of that watch? Since it's an artifact, not a natural object, I would say it was designed, rather than created. Would you guess that after billions and billions of years the sand was melt...

My take on it is that only God is eternal, always having existed, and that He created all things.

Clearly, that creation was both instantaneous, in which He created the universe, and ongoing, in which it continues to unfold.

Yehren observes: I guess the best way to test the idea is to make a list of apomorphies for birds, and a set for dinosaurs, and then see if any are shared. Anyone want to try? Let's take Archaeopteryx. Who wants to make a list of the number of bird characteristics, and the number of dinosaur charact...

Yehren suggests: Maybe you should define "transitional." There seem to be a great many number of them... Really? Yep. Tell me what you think "transitional" means, and I'll see what I can do. Is that why you seem to be having problems naming even one? Well, that's what we're about...

Barbarian suggests another test that would refute evolution. 3. Show the fossil of a mammal in undisturbed Cambrian deposits. Since mammals are a sort of index fossil, Nope. But if they were found with index fossils for the Cambrian, such as certain types of trilobites, evolutionary theory is in big...

(Yehren points out that ID's stated reliance on religious faith rules it out of science classes)
Which means evolution goes out the window as well with it's religious implications.
That's already been settled. It hasn't any religious implications.

Facts are like drops of rain. They don't knock over walls, but they can wear them away, a little at a time.

The point is not to convince people, but to get them to think.

The problem for the Discovery Institute was the accidental release of the Wedge Document. This was intended to be an internal paper only, but it was inadvertently sent out in a press package. Here's the smoking gun... Governing Goals To defeat scientific materialism and its destructive moral, cultur...

(Yehren notes that people most familiar with biology are more likely to accept evolution) Nope sorry, not true. It's true. The vast majority of biologists are evolutionists. Right now, it appears that about 2% of all scientists reject evolution, with the figure much lower for biologists. I understan...

Yehren observes: Since the current Pope says that it is "virtually certain" that all organisms on Earth have a common ancestor, it's virtually certain that such a view is compatible with Christianity. Nice posts Yehren. Thank you. I've spent a lot of time studying the way science and faith...

For example, the first directly-observed instance of an irreducibly complex system evolving was in bacteria. If it evolved then it wasn't irreducibly complex. What did it evolve from? Let me guess from a bacteria. Bacterium. Singular is "bacterium." Yep. As you know, they evolve a great de...

Sorry can't help myself. This book calims that Darwin instructed his followers to not use to many zero's in their dates because it gave the impression that one was guessing. ROTFLMAO Seems unlikely. Initially, Darwin went with Hutton's early notion of "no vestige of a beginning, no prospect of...
