• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

I can only speak for myself, but I'm familiar with the mountains of evidence, which is why I accept ToE.

Yet, you can not give one piece of evidence that the appearance of design in living forms is an illusion.

Right, I have zero proof to support your opinion that there is appearance of design.
So you feel Dawkins, Crick and others also have zero proof to support their claim that living forms have the appearance of design?

I feel that you are blatantly misrepresenting what Dawkins meant when he said that - which I've already pointed out to you.

Nothing in your bible that provides evidence for the appearance of design being an illusion.

It's not a bible. Why do you try to discredit scientific findings by making them look like your religious beliefs? You are revealing more than you would like.

You didn't deal with any of the pieces of evidence on that list.

Because to verify that it was indeed designed by an entity you need to show a connection. You are not showing a connection to a designer.
Design connects the designer. If something is designed there is a designer.

We don't have to know the designer to see this is designed. We connect the design to a designer we don't assume that the shelving just fell into place. We recognize design from a random set of visuals.

Present your specific evidence for the appearance of design being an illusion, or present Dawkins evidence but don't put up a link that is evidence of evolution because that is a cop out and isn't the issue in the first place.

IF it isn't a bible why can't you present evidence without posting that link repeatedly when asked to provide evidence for a particular feature or system?

Why do that, when it is simpler to shift the burden?
Just because you think that materialists have no burden of proof, they do. You need to understand the nuances of the process of discussion. Your side of the issue does not get a free ride.

I don't have to deal with your subjective opinions since they are not relevant to the scientific question.

You asked for evidence. I gave you a link to the evidence that we have presented to you several times now. As usual, you are in denial.

IF it isn't a bible why can't you present evidence without posting that link repeatedly when asked to provide evidence for a particular feature or system?

I am presenting the evidence that we do have. I wasn't aware that we had to have omniscience in order to evidence a scientific theory.

He also says that you are impressed by design. Why did he say that, do you think?
And why do you continue to ignore the fact that I have presented his view of that appearance of design he has said exists. He wants you to believe that it is an illusion and he tells you stories of how that is an illusion but there is no...no evidence given that it is an illusion.

Once claims: Appearance of design = Designer!
Once fails: No evidence of design/Designer
