No, you don't suggest that the Bible is supported. You outright state it's supported but when people ask you for the evidence for your claim, you just start saying that they're wrong, without any evidence.
On a science forum, the bible is not really required to be supported. That is a given for those who know. Those who don't know...well, it is a given many of them do not want to know. Of those who do not know, and want to know, I can say that science is not going to help any more than asking an ant would help explain how to bake an apple pie.

Science is a tadpole that was born in and swims only in a shallow pond.

You're not really helping your case, in the slightest.
When people ask you for evidence, it behooves you to provide evidence, if you can. You never do.

Please try not to divert your inability to respond using evidences for your science claims by focusing on other beliefs.

Wow, this really is the only kind of response you have, isn't it? Everything you post is going on about how science doesn't work and how you don't have to support your own claims, and you're wrong on both counts.

Ever wonder why you see people agreeing with me and you never see anyone agreeing with you?

Always curious to see how you waste our time avoiding the issues and the elephant in the room...your total inability to defend your own science claims.

Just another classic case of psychological projection. . . . attributing to others the fault in one's self. We all know, by now, Dad will continue to assert the scientists have not evidence in spite of evidence after evidence presented. He will assert has has proved his case when all he has done is stated it. There is no reasoning involved any more, it is all reflexive for him now.

Evidence is not projecting beliefs, despite your denial. Your attempts at defending your religion have been vanquished, and I see no real resistance here anymore.

Same old same old.
It's actually rather sad. The kindest thing would be to cease responding and leave him to his delusions. My late New Year resolution is to try to do exactly that. Feel free to run a book on how long I last.

Your idea of science is yesterdays news.
That is false. Even casual reading of Kylie's posts shows no relationship between your claim and her actual thoughts on the matter.

Perhaps you are using bombastic rhetoric in one of your weak attempts to avoid fronting up with data supporting your own position. If that was not your aim then you are simply lying (in a weak attempt to avoid fronting up with data supporting your own position.)

Either way I believe you owe Kylie an apology. Restore some honour to your tattered reputation by offering that now.

Edit: inserted missing apostrophe

Lovely defense. Too bad you have no specifics. She tried to defend her religion. You probably should also if you think she did a good job of it.

My position is that science doesn't know. Yet science uses the present nature for models of the past. This is undeniable. So...prove there was such a nature in the past, or have your so called science remain exposed as just a beliefs. Beliefs are fine, even when as baseless as your own. What is not fie is pretending they are fact or knowledge. Those who try to do that are faced with a burden to support their claim.

Apology? For...what? She had and has every chance to defend her religion as do you. She failed.

Your position is that the laws of the universe were different in the past.

You have never presented any evidence to support this position.
The evidence for a different nature is not within science. You accept no other evidences. How would anyone reason with you? History and Scripture are accepted evidences for me. Looking at natural evidences also, a different past makes the best fit. All evidences support it. Nothing but baseless beliefs oppose it. So why would I toss out what God says the past was like for no reason?

Because you are as inept at interpreting God's word as you are at defending your position. You are, quite simply, a troll. Trolling is against forum rules. I think it may be time to do something about your behaviour.
