    Five Most Common PRATTS?

    If you take evolutionism out of evolution, there isnt much left. It all starts with the fruit flys: 'See -- MUTATIONS' Everyone agrees fruit flys have genetic variation, and this is the hot talking point every evolutionist wants to discuss. Some time later you get the sales pitch: 'btw genetic...

    Five Most Common PRATTS?

    They are not equal, however evolutionism is clearly 'based on atheism, materialism, naturalism' (Darwins's notebooks) include many statements showing that he espoused but feared to expose something he perceived as far more heretical than evolution itself: philosophical materialism -- the...

    The Possible Effects of Anti-Evolutionism

    Do you concede that Darwin had a problem with Christianity? In scientific controversies, there is rarely any argument about facts. It is rather their interpretation that is controversial. ~ Ernst Mayr Facts do not "speak for themselves"; they are read in the light of theory. Creative...

    The Possible Effects of Anti-Evolutionism

    My point was not 'Evolutionism is false because Darwin was a 'Satan worshiper'' I was responding to the OP characterization that Darwin was a divinity student and the implication that evolutionism has nothing to do with attacks on Christianity. Darwin's motives are relevant. OJ Simpson may tell...

    The Possible Effects of Anti-Evolutionism

    Thus disbelief crept over me at a very slow rate, but was at last complete. The rate was so slow that I felt no distress, and have never since doubted even for a second that my conclusion was correct. I can indeed hardly see how anyone ought to wish Christianity to be true; for if so the plain...

    St. Augustine on allowing science to inform how we read Scripture

    I do not know who you are or what case you claim to have made. If you feel you have a compelling case, lay it out, and allow forum readers to decide for themselves the merits of each side. Ad hominem is not argument. Disputation is not refutation. Evolutionists have often protested ‘unfair’...

    St. Augustine on allowing science to inform how we read Scripture

    bible just proved older!

    Probably, so far as I know, there is no professor of Hebrew or Old Testament at any world-class university who does not believe that the writer(s) of Genesis 1-11 intended to convey to their readers the ideas that (a) creation took place in a series of six days which were the same as the days of...

    We have evidence that something may have happened pretty ugly the night that she collapsed. ~ Suzanne Vitadmo, Terri Schiavo's sister The trauma can be from an auto accident, the trauma can be from some kind of beating that she obtained from somebody somewhere. It's something that should have...

    Piltdown Mystersy on Nova Tuesday 11 Jan 05

    The thing I find fascinating about these quotes is the supreme confidence behind them. The only difference between Sir Arthur Keith, Sir Arthur Smith Woodward, Henry Fairfield Osborn AND Richard Dawkins, Stephen Jay Gould, or Ernst Mayr is that the ignorance of the first group is public...

    a proposition to allow creationism in Science class.

    My position has always been that Science is incompetent to determine Origins. http://www.christianforums.com/t68408 Do you intend to address my original post? http://www.trueorigin.org/theobald1a.asp Do you intend to address my question?
