    Something from Nothing

    No, the inability of it to produce testable hypotheses and the lack of evidence as a basis make it less of a science(in fact they make it pseudo-science). No, they postulate hypotheses that are predictions based on... wait for it... evidence. More importantly these hypotheses can be tested...

    Man no better than Bacteria?

    In these quotes of Pianka's speech the point that is being missed is that he is speaking from a mainly ecological and not a purely evolutionary standpoint. We are the ones screwing up the planet not lizards or bacteria: that's why he picks on humans. Although he was in favour of an airborne...

    Cambrian Explosion

    Oh wow, a whole five types? Considering there are 20,000 types of fern now and many evolved in the Cretaceous it really makes the five types insignificant. Besides which, if you look at the size of the surface area they could cover, and the different types of climate, then the existance of...

    What’s your problem?

    In that case I entirely retract my final sentence. I really didn't mean to tar all Christians with the same brush. However, it is an understanding of science and not an understanding of Christianity that is the motivation for these churches to speak out on the matter. Perhaps my sentence...

    Dembski

    Yeah, that's probably why they say: "You don't have to be a statistical mathematician to understand that." Instead of: "You don't need to be a brain surgeon to understand that." Anyway, I was mocking Dembski for that stupid quote by implying he wasn't smart enough to see evolution as an...

    An announcement - I was wrong.

    The fact that he has to have an English teacher examine what he writes says a lot about his standard of education.

    Dembski

    Wow... just wow. It goes to show that you don't have to be smart to be a statistical mathematician(no offence to the smart statistical mathematicians out there).

    What’s your problem?

    Mendel's work only dealt with how traits are passed on to further generations, not how mutations and natural selection figure in the evolution of new species. Therefore there would still be a large gap in understanding if TOE was falsified. Your example of a standard in carpentry would not...

    Spiritual Light

    A belief isn't the same as a claim. All I have done is ask you to explain the foundations of your claim; I have not made any of my own. This is an attempt to deflect the subject of the arguement on to me. As I don't claim anything, or that others should believe what I believe, I need to prove...

    Spiritual Light

    Thanks for the welcome. I am not claiming anything. I was wondering what leads you to believe that the laws of nature in the past worked in any other way than they do presently. If we immediately abandon science upon finding one thing it cannot fully explain then we abandon with it any...

    Spiritual Light

    Hi there, long time lurker; first time poster here. I thought it would be rude to chime in to a long running thread so I chose this relatively new one to "make an entrance" as it were. Dad said: :eek: - Wow! This guy is really on the edge. Dad, what empirical evidence will you produce to...
