    Index of evidence?

    The problem is that both sides are unlikely to recognise the validity of any refutation, and that the whole thing will descend into another slanging match. Perhaps if we had an "arbitrator of refutation" (what a brilliant title, almost makes me want to be it)? A pretty good idea...

    The $250,000 dollar question

    I think the point may have been that your interpretation was wrong, not your bible.

    Fair point. But science isn't designed to answer these questions - just look at the complexity of quantum information! People are still arguing over what constitues a "measurement". I think we may be coming at the same argument from opposite sides :)

    Science Education

    OK, I'll go with that, but with the caveat that you should probably define "nature of reality" more thoroughly if you're going to use logical arguments! I certainly agree with you that God is a part of science in that he created the laws of physics etc. however, science as a method for...

    The $250,000 dollar question

    That's the second time someone's used that analogy at me on this forum. Maybe I should stop eating chocolate or something. Plus I've had the value of my education questioned 3 times already today. Wow! Some Christians are so tolerant! I'm so glad I became one! Rant over.

    The $250,000 dollar question

    What is this obsession with what school/college/university people went to? We could compare exam results or GREs or SATs or whatever if you want, but I prefer to have a discussion without getting too personal. I find it hard to believe that anyone could be so patronising. This clearly proves...

    Iacchus32 I think you may have misread my post So tell me what your hand is made of then. And how it holds together. And how it was formed from one egg cell and one sperm cell. And then tell me how it is you know - because you certainly didn't find all that out from religion. So science is...

    The $250,000 dollar question

    There's a good link that Jet Black posted on another thread that might help answer this - it on this page http://www.christianforums.com/t90303&page=4

    The $250,000 dollar question

    oh, I apologise. I have just read your post above - I think macro evolution is what I'm talking about. What you call micro-evolution I call genetics.

    The $250,000 dollar question

    sorry, I didn't know what you meant. None of the things you refer to are evidence for evolution. They would be evidence for what you think is evolution though. What words did I twist exactly? And how is it possible to have a discussion of evolution without referring to The Origin Of...

    The $250,000 dollar question

    No there aren't. The theory of evolution states that there exist characteristics that increase the fitness of an organism. Because these characteristics increase fitness they are more likely to be passed on. This is it - and if you take this argument to its logical conclusion (please read...

    The $250,000 dollar question

    I very much doubt you have ever read The Origin Of Species. And what on earth do you mean by millions of interchangeable species? May I ask you what exactly evolution is, in your opinion. I would also like to add that there are no such things as macro and micro evolution in The Origin Of...

    I could say exactly the same thing about you and the bible. But I won't.

    The $250,000 dollar question

    Wrong! Wrongetty wrongetty wrong! Evolution makes no claim about how we "happened" - evolution addresses the development and diversification of species not their origin. The title "The Origin Of Species" means "this book is addressing how different types of organisms developed from a common...

    Science Education

    I think this is a matter for belief, not for science (see below for why!). I think you have misunderstood exactly what science is. Science, or the scientific method, is a way of studying the world around us in a logical manner in order to understand some of its governing principles...
