Origins TheologyForum for the discussion of Creation Science (Young/Old) vs Theistic Evolution. Discussion of Atheistic Evolution should be taken to the Discussion and Debate forums.
So, there are tons of holes in the belief of Creationism: The "turtles all the way down" problem; the anachronisms abound; the Old Testament includes two contradicting version; the list goes on ad infinitum.
But the point of the this is really Evolution. Evolution HAS NO HOLES. It leaves a few questions unanswered, sure, but the processes which it outlines and identifies mechanisms for are completely sound from the point of view of one well-versed in chemistry and biology. What I find is most, if not all of the arguments against evolution stem from misunderstanding the science.
NO! Man did NOT evolve from apes. We share a common ancestor.
NO! Lightning did not strike a rock and out pops life. That's creation. Life came from a system of organic molecules that stuck together because the environment and chemistry was right.
These things are just misconceptions of the science. Learn the science, and evolution will make sense!

Origin subjects are all about data and conclusions. Origin subjects don't deal with science. Creationism does not argue with science but rather history in the guise of science. We are saying its not a doctor but a nurse.
If evolution had science behind it on the important conclusions then it would show it and be persuasive to all people. Instead it all relys on faith in the authority of the self proclaimed "expert".
Show us the money.
There is so much yak about evolution is true and the bible isn't true but little meat and potatoes backing evolution.
Evolution will never stop its demise till it makes its case on the merits.
Evolution is being repackaged to be more acceptable. Kinda like Intelligent Design is repackaged Creationism. (I have no dog in this fight, however. I'm jes sayin'.)
Kyrisch: I thought that was a faun, not a satyr. How do the two differ? Are both different names for the same thing?
Busterdog: Remember the last time you tried to call someone on blasphemy? ^^

As it stands, I have to believe your definition is "stuff that offends busterdog."
