Your entire post #237 misses the point, fails to address any of the points raised by other members and filled with strawmen.
There are plenty of creation scientists who disagree with Darwinian assumptions.
1. So what? It is well understood that creationism (of the YEC variety) does not fit with science. No one here is disputing that.
2. The term Darwinian is arguably obsolete in relation to current evolutionary theory and so mentioning it here is irrelevant.
3. Any assumptions in Darwinian theory and its developments have long been validated through observation and experiment.
Modern science is not supposed to be a political game where scientists take on the mentality of vacuum cleaner salesman.
It is fortunate that doesn't happen then, isn't it?
"And if natural Philosophy in all its Parts, by pursuing this Method, shall at length be perfected, the Bounds of Moral Philosophy will also be enlarged. For so far as we can know by natural Philosophy what is the first Cause, what Power he has over us, and what Benefits we receive from him, so far our Duty towards him, as well as that towards one another, will appear to us by the Light of Nature. And no doubt, if the Worship of false Gods had not blinded the Heathen, their moral Philosophy would have gone farther than to the four Cardinal Virtues; and instead of teaching the Transmigration of Souls, and to worship the Sun and Moon, and dead Heroes, they would have taught us to worship our true Author and Benefactor, as their Ancestors did under the Government of Noah and his Sons before they corrupted themselves." ~ Isaac Newton, "Opticks" (closing statement).
"
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
~Jane Austen "Pride and Prejudice" (opening paragraph)
I shall happily match any of your irrelevant quotations with one of my own.
Modern science was never meant to be a war against Christian morality.
Provide evidence to demostrate that it is, otherwise retract the statement.
It took centuries of Christian morality to reach the kind of discipline necessary to achieve modern science, as scientific accomplishments are moral achievements and not just a means to boost the ego. One teaching in Christianity not commonly shared with atheist dogma is how Christians aren't suppose to lie. Those that lie, as Scripture very clearly teaches, will not be saved. So telling the truth and being honest was a major milestone achievement which made scientific method possible.
Nonsense, false dichotomies and strawmen. Morality is an expression of natural behaviour arising through evolutionary pressures. Every religion has absorbed and restated these moralties.
Now atheism teaches that morality is relative which is at odds with Judeo-Christian doctrine which teaches that morality is an absolute. Newton was the father of modern physics and had he been a moral relativist I doubt modern physics would have had a place to begin. All scientists before Darwin were Bible believing Christians and it was their great achievements that ushered in and established modern science as a discipline.
1. You fail to note that the morality of the NT is not the same as the morality of the OT.
2. Not all atheists believe morality is relative.
3. The arab scientists who preserved and built upon the science of the Greeks were not Christian. The Chinese scientists were not Christian. Your facts are as vacuous as your arguments.
Evolutionists have turned science into a political career where most evolutionists are not even trained in scientific method but are merely indoctrinated in the new religion of atheism and the moral relativism that comes with it. Science has become more ego centered compared to the Christ centered Christians who made modern science possible and without the help of atheists to make it happen.
Empty rhetoric with out a single ounce or even milligram of support. If you think otherwise provide the three best supporting arguments for your assertion.
So Christians owe no apology to science since modern science was only possible with creationist scientists.
Christians owe no apology to science since most Christians embrace the methods and findings of science, rather than the prejudiced, delusional beliefs of fundamentalist minority.
Evolutionists hitched a ride on the science train and hijacked science through political rivalry and sensational words aimed at stirring up emotions among the gullible. And where has decades of moral relativism from atheists taken us? Well today somehow we got Islam from atheism as most atheists today have become like the Ansar (i.e., "the Helpers") not to mention afterbirth abortions, a push for world communism and the list of ills goes on.
Irrelevant nonsense. (Did you actually give
any thought to answering any of the questions you were asked, or did your absolute morality not appreciate that failing to do so was rude and offensive?)
Lying and deceit in atheism is not a sin because the atheist don't believe in sin or see themselves as sinners. Once a person convinces himself the is no sin and there is no hell, lying and cheating for personal gain become options to those who egos have turned into a god-complex. For a man without sin is infallible and atheists have pronounced themselves as infallible.
Sin is a loaded word. The majority of atheists and agnostics have clear notions of right and wrong and seek to do the former and avoid the latter. They do so for the same reasons that most Christians do: it is the proper way to behave. They do not do it for the reason expressed by some Christians: fear of eternal damnation.
Every word spoken by the atheist scientist is the infallible word of science until a younger generation of atheists comes along and refutes the previous indisputable facts with new indisputable facts and the story continues to change and old characters disappear and replaced by new characters.
Balderdash!
I see no logical reason why I or anyone else should believe anything from moral relativists. Consider the source and the moral character of the source in all analysis.
Good advice. I tend to ignore those who refuse to answer questions, avoid pertinent points, employ strawmen, express nonsense, deal in irrelevancies and make unsuppored claims.
