Science, Creation & EvolutionAge of the Earthtedlusk wrote: i left certain topics out that were kind of side issues. so these "ages" are inferred? and are not absolute? no. NOT really. dinosaurs have not been observed evolving into birds or anything else. this is a faithful position on your part, not helped by the fossil record. that's not even the point. the point is that PE was a good explanation to explain the LACK of fossil evidence. whether they agree with gradual theory or not, they STILL admit a fossil record lacking what they need, or had expected. your idea of accidental mutations and additions of accidental new information accounting for the enormous complexity and diversity of life is probably the silliest thing i've ever heard in my life. to say all these organisms arose accidentally by some undirected process is pure absurdity. as much as you are. well, you've clearly shown that you believe the idea of God is silly (unless you're just talking about the God of the Bible), so why wouldn't you reject Him? they are. and many are former evolutionists. some of it did, like i mentioned the earth's magnetic field. and no doubt the Bible. you choose not to see these things. simple. if everything is naturalistic, then so must evolution's beginning be.
good science, logical thinking, correct philosphy and common sense. like i said before, it's not really the evidence that's the problem, but the axioms of the one attempting to interpret the evidence. so you can try and make your "evidence" as absolute as you want, but most of it will remain nothing more than your subjective interpretation of the evidence. i gave you a couple of examples, and you dismissed them with foolish reasoning. i'll ask again, "Does an elephant have a tail like a cedar?" and since you quickly dismissed the idea of the sphericity of the earth, saying that the Greeks had already discovered that, then show me exactly where and how the passage i gave to you was influenced by the Greeks. and also, why do so many evolutionists liken creationism to a flat earth belief? if i've shown you that the idea of a round earth is already in the Bible from centuries ago, why is this canard always used to attack us? why do you guys constantly set up straw-men? another philosophical statement given as undisputed fact. well the fact that it hasn't been able to be duplicated even by intelligence seems to cry out against the idea. the unbelievable odds against such a thing seems to close the case for most scientists who aren't completely driven by their evolutionary faith. so why then don't you reject abiogenesis as well since there is no supporting evidence for that either? no, but it does explain that the idea of the appearance of functional new genetic "information" isn't reality. and i couldn't find the article or paper anyway. why don't you show it to me. so tell me then how your belief system, without a transcendent moral standard, could not have this as its logical outworking? what is it that would legitimately allow these things to be fully rejected under your belief system? please tell me. yeah, thanks. i was able to see the foolishness of that argument and you weren't, and you're inferring that i'm not intelligent? hmmmm.... and i find it bizarre that you're not sitting here writing pages and pages about the amazing contraption sitting in front of you called a computer. things become common place, and therefore suffer the fate of commonality and can be easily overlooked. the very fact that he was writing in a time when this creature was alive is enough to dismiss your silly idea for good. it would be like me writing to you now and telling you about a lion or a zebra or even a massive blue whale. since you're already familiar with these things, there's no need for me to go into great detail with them (or even any detail at all). you need to think about CONTEXT and TIME when these things were written. that's why it's so funny to see someone who knows nothing about the Bible or hermeneutics attempt to argue against the Bible or interpretations or meanings from it. |
