    Gee I only repeated it three times now. What does your comments have to do with evolutionary theory? Please explain as it obviously has nothing to do with it.

    Why are we talking about evolutionary theory?

    What a sad, flaccid, diversionary attempt.

    Equally as flaccid as your fake god.

    I've been an atheist for decades, chump. Jeebus was just a man. Too bad you can't acknowledge the same about your Messiah.

    Sorry, cunt. I have no messiah.

    And you're still flaccid.

As evidenced in the garden of Eden, he caused the fall of humanity, the turn away from God and this is how "death" entered into our vocabulary.




    In reference to evolution, its still just a theory. For one there are no transition forms in the fossil record. For another 99% of all mutations are bad. Evolution is a mathematical impossibility when you sit down and look at the odds.



    For example, if evolution were true, what is the deal with all the fraudulent fossils? Surely there would be no need to "fake" the missing links between species, yet this seems to be a re-occurring theme that evolutionists cannot escape from.

    Please share you views on this, I am eager to gain in insight and knowledge and that is exactly what this thread is about. I don't want this to turn into a political pissing match. Let's not mock or demean, simply list your argument and your evidence and debate your points as you see fit.

    Good luck and God speed!
    The Theory of Evolution is an old one. The Theory of Abiogenesis is fairly old also. Almost as old as the Theory of Creation. None of it is science. I happen to believe in the Theory of Creation, just as you do.

    Neither. A religious discussion.

    A theory is simply an explanatory argument. Nothing says a theory has to be a scientific one. A theory of science is one that is falsifiable.

    This is a common conflation between the Theory of Evolution and the Theory of Abiogenesis. It occurs because belief in one often includes the other, and both are claimed to be science, when they are not.
    Quote Originally Posted by Mott the Hoople View Post

    Quite right. The Theory of Evolution and the Theory of Creation are compatible with each other. The Theory of Abiogenesis and the Theory of Creation are mutually exclusive of each other. One or both MUST be false.

    True. A theory of science MUST be falsifiable. There is no test of the null hypothesis available for the Theory of Creation, the Theory of Evolution, or the Theory of Abiogenesis. The only way to test any of these theories is to go back in time to see what actually happened.

    He is not claiming it is science.

    This is actually logic, not philosophy. The definition of a theory comes from logic. You are, however, quite right. The Theory of Creation is not science. Science has no theories about past unobserved events.

    I have personally run across literally thousands of people who accept the scientific tenets of evolution while maintaining their Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, or Hindu faith
    The Theory of Evolution is not science. It is a religion, like any other. It is based on an initial circular argument and has arguments extending from it...an excellent definition for any religion, speaking from philosophy.

    No. Satan actually has a purpose. If we are to know good, we must know evil. These two concepts are related. How can one know what is good without knowing what is evil?
    It is the tempting by Satan that teaches man the difference, else we would never know the difference.

    A child learning undergoes the same thing. Mistakes will be made. The child learns from them. A parent is there so the child does not make an error so great as to destroy himself. Experience is the best teacher.
