The only philosophical theory that has anything to do with science is the scientific method. I don't think you even know what philosophy means; it's just something you throw around disparagingly.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Philosophy is anything which is formed by pure logic. The ontological argument exists only in logic (and not very sound logic), so it is a philosophy.
The instance something can be independantly confirmed, tested or otherwise verified, it is science.
I had a discussion about this with Student of the Word over in the "A good answer for..." thread in Xian Apologetics, and I pwned him thoroughly.

So lemme get this straight. Nobody has witnessed the last 4.5 or so billion years of biological history on the Earth, therefore it didn't happen?
Sheesh, with logic like that, I wonder if Michael T. Griffith believes the world disappears when he closes his eyes.

As a trained palaeontologist I tend to think that it is your knowledge of the fossil record that is hopelessly inadequate rather than the record itself.
Have you any training in, or even understanding of, palaeontology which allows you to make sweeping generalisations about the state of the fossil record?

In case you didn't know, the classification came first. And evolution is not defined as "whatever produces classification" . You, "truth above all else" ( And it does indeed seem to be far above and beyond you!). are the only one who has suggested such.
I think that would qualify as self-advertising public prayer. I would suggest that you go alone to your room, close the door and pray for yourself. When you have plucked the beam from your own eye, you may see well enough to pluck the mote from another's. Then again, maybe you don't see very well anyway.

Cool. I don't know if I could be much happier: beautiful wife, great job, lovely family and friends etc. But I will give it a go and tell you if I get any happier.
Not sure I can be at piece with your imaginary construct though, unless it is Zeus: Zeus is awesome, he has thunderbolts.
What has all this got to do with '"truth" above all else' not having the first idea what palaeontology is though? It's not like I'm ungreatful that you want me to be even happier, just it seems like a bit of a non-sequiteur in the circumstances.

Well he is WRONG!
Science has witnessed first hand evolution in fruit flies amongst others. Do you have any idea what evolution is? Have you ever bothered to read the theory?
Judge not in ignorance lest you be judged as ignorant!

You really don't care about the details do you? ToE's a doddle for you isn't it?
According to my reckoning I ''admitted'' to two drive-by posts, from that only an idiot or the woefully ignorant would construe that as an admission of anything in regards to all my posts.....I am glad to see that Foehammer has finally admitted that his posts are nothing but "drive bys" devoid of any original thought.

Ahh yes, the famous creationist past time of "argument by internet link". If you really think that these websites falsify evolution then please pick one and explain it in your own words. I am not going to spend my time debunking creationists websites that you don't even understand to begin with.

Indeed.
I'm with Loudmouth - I don't generally subscribe to "argument by link" myself, and I don't think it's reasonable to expect me to go into each of those links, extract and present the claims therein myself (particularly as my first perusal indicates that they are not worth presenting), and rebut them myself.
However, if you would like to do your part of the work, I'll do mine.
