Foolish demand. Person to person it would warrant a slap.
You can't say it's foolish because that requires logical thinking from a mind that has been designed and cannot be the product of time and chance. If you believe you are a product of evolution then your brain is just a collection of molecules and incapable of logic. Logic can only come from a brain that has been designed to think logically, and therefore has to be the product of a greater logical mind.
I am sorry, but your logic is faulty. That is why I offered to go over the basics with you. No need to bring up evolution or the other sciences that you do not understand.
I have gone over the basics of evolution by reading the book "Evolution" by Ken Ham. He explains it very well and to my satisfaction.
No, Ken Ham is at best a fool when it comes to the sciences.
When a person cannot answer logical questions, abuse is the only recourse. Better be careful of the flaming rule!
What abuse? I was being kind. Please, no serious debater would site such a dishonest fool.
I must have a look at that one to see for myself!
I watched the debate and I didn't see anything of what you are describing. Both put their views plainly and one didn't
That the world and everything in it shows intricate design which could never have happened by time and chance.
Two points:
Based upon the content of your posts the evidence points strongly towards the absence of logic in our minds. Fortunately, a single instance from seven and a half billion is not a convincing demonstration.
We don't know and we probably cannot know. However, if we adopt a pragmatic approach, assuming that we are here and that this is real, we find that things proceed pretty much as we would expect if we were here. That experience, seemingly duplicated by billions of people, strongly suggests our initial assumption was valid. Nevertheless, it remains unproven, and we should remain alert for contrary evidence. I do. Do you?
I don't. Surely that is obvious? I do know that if we use the scientific method then we can validate the answers multiple times, in various ways, making it increasingly unlikely the answers are wrong - or, thereby invalidating them and acquiring new answers that stand up to repeated testing.
Of course we don't know all the right questions. Surely that is obvious? Each new validated answer generates more new questions. That is the beauty and inspiration of science.
The logical mind is a product of time and chance and natural selection and environment. Unfortunately, most humans do not have a logical mind and those who do, do not have it fully engaged all the time. Fortunately, the scientific method overcomes these limitations, imposing structure, logic and order upon our investigations.
See above.
That's right. I'm pretty sure I read of its imminent demise in the 1980s, then the 1990s, the turn of the millenium, the first decade of the new century. It's end was just around the corner. And yet here it is, with several tens of thousands of further papers validating and explaining more and more aspects of it and the number of deniers steadily falling, while their withered arguments continue to tumble in the wind. When the last of them is gone I may have to get a proper hobby!
No, he did not say that. Abiogenesis is a separate but related topic. Regardless of the first source of life evolution is a fact.
