And isn't it also interesting how many creationists tap dance around the word "Creator". I also find it fascinating the while discussing intelligent design "The Drsigner" is left out of the equation.

"Isn't it interesting how some folks can dismiss a book that has been proven correct so many times by fulfilled predictions, archeological finds, scientific discoveries, and an unbroken line of history through ancient scribes,"

And whadda you know, here it is again! We just did a "soft shoe shuffle" right around the word," Bible".

Tippity-tap-slip and slide! Isn't it fun to watch the creation apoligests twist and turn to avoid using that nasty word "religion" in their arguments.
Having a "Creator" or a "Intelligent Designer" as the center of their claim but not being able to give evidence that such a deity even exists plus having to deny that religion has nothing to do with intelligent design as they attempt to force the public school system to teach it as science must put a terrible strain on them. But it is amusing to watch them try.
Not having a shred of physical evidence to back up the claim of either creationist science or intelligent design the best they can do is attempt to debunk evolution.
Keep it up guys! Tippity-tap-tap and a soft shoe slide! We're enjoying the act!

As a scientist I can tell you that there are many signs of evolution, that is we descended from other primates. Human DNA resembles chimpanzee's DNA 95%.

Resemblance doesn't prove descent. We live on the same planet and have to deal with the same gravity, radiation, atmosphere, temperatures and so on. So physically there will be resemblances which simply means that the same plan was used
To deal with the same environmental conditions.

And isn't it also interesting how many creationists tap dance around the word "Creator". I also find it fascinating the while discussing in belligerent design "The Drsigner" is left out of the equation.

Inability to see plain evidence and refusal to acknowledge, accompanied by
A mocking attitudeand false accusations doesn't constitute proof. Add to this inconsistency in reasoning and your whole argument, if indeed it can be classified as such, comes crashing down like a house of cards.

It seems to me that both sides of this argument can be accused of being rather closed minded and I find it amusing that both sides think their so right that now the arrogance and name calling as reared its ugly head! When did we get so sensitive?

More tippity-tap, (I love it! ) You saying that I have the "Inability to see plain evidence and refusal to acknowledge it" just adds more soft shoe routine to the act. You speak of "evidence", isn't that what I've been asking for ever since this thread started? PRODUCE THIS "EVIDENCE" that you claim you have. I don't see one answer to my previous post. Not one response except to put me down. You attempt to discredit my augments while not offering one tiny shred of physical evidence to back up yours.
One more time! Making me look bad doesn't make you look good. Try! I have argued reason and logic against faith and belief for decades with militant fundamentalists and am still waiting for the evidence to back ip their claims. I find you no different from them. Welllll! Perhaps a bit more humorous.

I agree. This thread is going to the gutter.

I agree. This thread is going to the gutter.

Yep, this is why I like to read these more than reply to them. I get bored hearing all the name calling, over and over and over again. :)

Respectful disagreement doesn't constitute putting you down unless you interpret it that way by identifying yourself worth with the ideas you put forth as fact. Your beliefs are not you. On the other hand, I agree that name-calling and mockery are ad hominem. However, I don't agree that my saying that you are unable to see my viewpoint is either. Actually, you have all the right in the world to hold whatever belief you wish and it shouldn't be any skin off anybody's nose unless your manner of stating your beliefs is offensive. In that case it's the manner of your expressing your views and not your beliefs that are questionable. I think that the problem in your case is that you express your views very vigorously and when someone responds with a little vigor you can't seem to tolerate it and begin to accuse these people of putting you down. I strongly suspect that if you'd tone it down a bit yourself then the responses you receive would most likely not be as irritating. No harm meant just a little advice.


As for the proof you require, I garnered some web site links that you might or might not wish to read. That's entirely up to you.

I find you humorous as well.

[talaniman]

I believe evolution to be fact ,somewhat. The thing you must remember is that whenever the facts can't explain things then man in his infinite wisdom fills in the gaps with his own impeccable logic. To a man whatever we come up with in our own mind, nobody can shake loose and we will fight to the death to preserve what ideas we think is the way it is. Most of us don't have the capacity to admit to not knowing so we defend whatever opinion hits our "logic" and present it as true. We have proven it here as well as our attitude that prevents us from SHARING ideas and concepts. I would find it really amusing if we come to find out that we all are ego tripping and none of us has a clue. No that's not thunder That's GOD laughing at our feeble attempts to understand our world. And sadly that's what we teach our children," we don't know squat but your a dumb *** for not seeing I'm righter than YOU!" End of rant.:cool: :rolleyes:

[speedball1]

Thank you Starman, The debate ends now. I couldn't prove my point any better then you just did.

"As for the proof you require, I garnered some web site links"

You sure did and as I have always claimed not one of the "Proofs" (Coppied from The Bountiful Joy website again?) give any physical evedence of Creation but not being able to prove Creation the only thing they can do is attack evolution and attempt to muddy the waters. All of your so called "proofs" do just that. Just look at the titles of the "proofs you put up. Tippty-tap tippty-tap and a soft shoe slide! (Sounds of hands clapping! )

Starman, I respect your views and you have good debating skills but you got to admit that the sites did more to attack evolution then to prove intelligent design. My point exactly! Rick and Tal are right, this debate's become both boring and repetitive. As far as I'm concerned, the debate's over, done, finished! ( And you did debate very well) Regards and respect, Tom

[Starman]

I consider all the sites attacking the existence of a creator to be muddying of the waters. So I guess we have that in common. Yes, there are more who choose to believe in mindless organization of matter into complex biological machines based on what evolutionists prefer to say. That's OK. But that doesn't constitute proof. It only shows preference of the majority to go in that particular direction for many reasons. To not be considered ignorant. Because of blind faith and unquestioning trust in scientists. In order to feel they are accountable to no-one and can do as they please. Because of lacking critical thinking ability, or simply because it makes more sense to them for some other reason.


But you are right, this discussion is really redundant and will not go beyond what it already has gone. But this isn't due to my reluctance to address the issue. This is due to the constant evasion of anything that smacks of being irrefutable via changing of the subject, refusal to be consistent in the application of the scientific method, a predisposition to view all scientists and their statements as silly if they believe in a creator despite their qualifications, and a tendency to fly off the handle via resorting to mockery and fallacious reasoning.

In any case, I am willing to throw in the towel and bring this useless discussion to a halt. No problem.

BTW

My only attempt at debating here was in reference to the arrowhead example and I was skillfully evaded via being presented with a false analogy and being classified as unreasonable for not accepting the false analogy. Another p[oster claimed not to understand inconsistency. That put an end to any attemprt at debate.

Everything else was just padding or pitter-pattering in order to counter the tipity tapping.
