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.

The thing is, the theory of evolution's predictions about the past are predictive in terms of what we should expect to see. Those predictions have been shown to be correct, to the extent that even the genetic evidence on its own would prove that evolution has occurred without any fossil evidence (despite the fact that there is a plethora of fossil evidence). The theory of evolution makes predictions and there's evidence for them. Creationism tries to avoid making predictions, but it does anyway. They're disproven frequently. Literally none of them have been shown to be true. Creationism isn't just wrong, it's wrong in a way so extreme that any person looking at it from an objective standpoint would just be really confused as to how an educated person could accept it.

Not actually true.
If ANY pieces don't fit, that means that the understanding to which they don't fit is incorrect, and must be rethought.
As far as evolutionary theory goes, no pieces have been found that don't fit the overall picture. Occasionally we find stuff that requires minor tinkering at the edges. Sometimes we find stuff that sheds a great deal of new light on previously unknown parts of the picture. But there are simply zero pieces that "don't fit".

Pretty good description of the situation. The "faults" in evolution pointed out by creationists are always either misunderstandings of the theory, or points that pose no threat to the core of the theory but do invite scientists to investigate further and discover more about the nature of the world that we live in. It's sad when someone looks at information that could benefit society and reinterprets it as a sort of "evidence" against evolution.

You are taking it by faith that the Bible is God speaking to you. You don't know it for a fact. Same for me.

No he couldn't. People would not have understood him, and would have thought he was crazy. He would have lost all his credibility, and then no one would have paid any attention to the gospel.

No, it most likely means that something statistically improbable happened with elements we don't anticipate, that if we knew, would explain the mysterious results.

that's what I said in different words. my only point was that it doesn't usually overturn stuff when there is a whole lot of evidence for it.
