They only differ in degree, no? Evolution says Christianity is false, while evolutionism says all religions are false. I mean, as august has been...trying to get through to some of you, it's either omnipotent God or omnipotent chance-you can't say evolution is true and Christianity is true at the s...

Re: Which is falsifiable?
Bacterial flagellum, which are little tiny motor-driven propellors in bacteria capable of spinning at 10,000 RPM, are often called irreducibly complex systems. I contend that there is no unintelligent process that could have possibly brought this system about. Darwinists have no answer for how the ...

It is you who ignore the normative meaning of morality. then lay it all out for me, man. i'm a child, i need you to tell me what the normative meaning of morality is, because obviously, i don't have the slightest clue. all i see are simple interactions, i can't uncover the deep interworkings of com...

i observe my cats feeling attachment to me, or curiosity, jealousy, happiness, etc. That's personification. You are attributing human characteristics to animals. gorillas take care of each other in the wild, they know what is right and wrong in living together. any animal that cares for its young h...

all human (and many animal) morals consistently center around one main point: if an action is helpful to the survival of the community, it is good; if an action is harmful to the survival of the community, it is bad. Animals have morals? Any evidence? And recall the words of Hume-one cannot find ou...

Re: Richard Dawkins: Dangerous idea
I guess in his world, we can't be held responsible for our religious beliefs. "Assigning blame and responsibility on theists for their beliefs is an aspect of the useful fiction of intentional agents that we construct in our brains as a means of short-cutting a truer analysis of what is going ...

The topic of this thread is 'The Scientific Method of Evolution.' I think you just illustrated that there is none. Consider that your arguments in favor of evolution all center on explaining why evolution might be possible in spite of all the evidence against it. Usually hypothesis must actually pa...

Zenith, Dr. Wells in a quote on page two or three of this thread. It was one of my posts. i reread your posts in the thread. wells brings up some good points, though some of it is just misinterpretation of the theory of evolution. but he centers too much of his evidence against evolution on the fos...

As I said this thread was to show how evolution is based on the use of the scientific method to conduct experiments and collect observations. I am not interested in arguing indirectly with someone else. It is quite clear you have made up your mind about what you think of the theory. So I will leave...

Re: A simple explanation why there is no "Intelligent D
It must therefore follow that an intelligent designer is a naturally occurring entity. But that tells us that anything designed by an intelligent designer is ultimately also naturally occurring, as it originally can be seen to have got started with the natural occurence of the intelligent designer....

Hey, thanks for the long reply. i'm sorry about the misinterpretation. those sciences don't use as much experimentation in the traditional sense. but they still rely on experimentation just as much, only that it is a different kind. developing mathematical equations is as much experimentation as gr...

If this is not the result of genetic limits, what is it the result of? Even though evolution supposedly manifests at the macroscopic level, the variation has to happen at the molecular level. Also, why is evolution irreversible? No mammal has ever evolved into a reptile, or reptile to amphibian etc...
