Untestable and unprovable "hypothesis" right now, would be much more accurate...Unsubstantiated claim.

Untestable and unprovable "hypothesis" right now, would be much more accurate...Unsubstantiated claim.
Hi there,
So I am just wondering: if I have the Respect of every Creature, I have the respect of Evolution?
Nothing is missing?
What would help me tell, if one thing or another was going to help?
Thanks,
G
As a hypothesis, i.e. an explanation for observed phenomena, it's completely useless. A good explanation should give a deeper understanding of a particular phenomenon. An explanation that can explain anything and everything explains nothing in particular. An explanation that raises more questions than it answers - particularly unanswerable questions, explains nothing. An explanation that introduces unnecessary entities is redundant.Untestable and unprovable "hypothesis" right now, would be much more accurate...

If you think it's a viable hypothesis, explain to me how 'God-did-it' is a better hypothesis than 'Its magic'. Handy criteria to judge by are testabillity, successful predictions, explanatory power, parsimony, and coherence with existing knowledge.
You guys who are skeptics and who are atheists...
Do you think all of this is "just all random chaos" with "no order to it all"...? or rhyme or reason for it or to it at all...? or does it indicate "order", and therefore "design", and therefore a "designer" or "maker" or "orderer" or "creator", maker, etc...?
Do you think there is "intelligence" behind it at all...? and if so, who or what would you call that intelligence or designer or whatever...? "Programmer" possibly, etc...?
What would you call it/Him, cause I call it/Him "God"...
Or if you believe it was made and/or created for a "purpose", a "purposer", etc...
Cause I believe all these things, etc...
It's what I see when I look at "everything", etc...
I do not see "chaos" or "random chaos", but the "complete opposite of that", etc... I see order and design, and therefore a "designer, maker, orderer, creator, programmer, purposer, etc, etc, etc... I see, and I think it's pretty clear to see, "intelligence" or a consciousness, involved and/or behind it all, etc...
But since it takes some small measure of "faith" to believe that "right now", your probably not going to believe it anyway...
I also believe that "apparent errors or imperfections" are not actually errors or imperfections either, or as well, etc, but that all is and always was, is and will be, etc, by "design", etc...
It doesn't take "that much faith" either to believe "this" that I am saying, or "that" that I am proposing, etc... Faith the size of a mustard seed or grain will do, but I guess I don't expect you guys to believe it, etc...
God Bless!
I do what I want, and it is a Christian site, so...If all you wanna do is preach there are parts of the site for that, this is however not one of them.
Ah, see, that's where you go wrong. That's where you creationists always go wrong, regardless of how many times it is explained to you.You guys who are skeptics and who are atheists...

That's where you creationists always go wrong
You can continue to argue for your "hypothesis" as long as you like... but after all this time, you should at least know what you are arguing against.
Which is what makes you a "creationist". It doesn't matter where, when or what you think this "creator" "created"... you believe that it did. Hence: creationist.I'm not a "creationist" in the typical sense, I believe pretty much the same thing you guys believe, just with a creator or designer, master orchestrator, maker, etc, etc, etc...
Why, thank you!Yes I do, the stupidity is very apparent... Ignorance, arrogance, etc...
God Bless!
I do what I want, and it is a Christian site, so...

Making and testing hypotheses has a key role in science - but so does assessing and ranking them according to the criteria for finding the best explanation. There are good hypotheses and bad hypotheses, and it seems to me that your God hypothesis is just a placeholder for a lack of a good hypothesis. Can you refute that?As if you don't rely on "hypothesis" sometimes, or scientists don't, etc...
Anyway, many of things we now know today, most of them all started out as "hypothesis"....
But the point of a hypothesis is that helps us understand the observed phenomena because it has some explanatory power, which makes your God hypothesis pointless.And if you asking me to "explain God" and "how God did it", other than creating the "processes" that we see and observe, then I can't do that for you sorry...
You don't have to apologise to me, I was already aware of the issue.... it does, and may always take some small measure of "faith" maybe, etc... Until it can be tested and proven, etc... and/but many people started out by putting some measure of "faith" and their own ideas and "hypothesis" that later on turned out to true, etc...
And that's all I can give or offer you right now, sorry...
Oh, the irony! You propose a hypothesis that has no explanatory value and suggest that the apparent errors and imperfections in the world are intentional, then call alternative ideas stupid, ignorant, and arrogant... I guess that speaks for itself.Yes I do, the stupidity is very apparent... Ignorance, arrogance, etc...
You mean "this world" correct...? And is that worth more than his eternal soul...?
Sure, but can we interrupt that respect?So I am just wondering: if I have the Respect of every Creature, I have the respect of Evolution?
@AllI'm not a "creationist" in the typical sense, I believe pretty much the same thing you guys believe, just with a creator or designer, master orchestrator, maker, etc, etc, etc...
See this thread here: Genesis and Creation, Days are long "ages" ect...?
The first post and post #29 are the most important ones, but all my posts in that thread are important, etc...
Also my posts in this thread as well: Millennials Turn Away From Creationism
Yes I do, the stupidity is very apparent... Ignorance, arrogance, etc...
God Bless!
@AllFirst off, I did not say you guys were stupid, but only that the idea or working off the assumption that there is no God is foolish and stupid, like scripture says, (Psalms 14:1, Psalms 53:1)...
And that He (God) can be clearly seen in what is made, or things that were made and/or exist, etc, (Romans 1:20), and how much more so is that true "today", etc...
To work of the assumption that there is no mind or intelligence behind it all, is foolish, and, sorry to say, "stupid", etc...
When it is very clear to people like me that there "has to be", etc...
Like I said, it's not all "random chaos", etc... It has order and therefore design, etc, therefore an orderer or designer, etc...
Now I don't blame some of you for not believing in a God, or for not believing that there is or has to be a "God", or God-like being, because of some "other people", and the way that they have presented the idea of a "God" to you, etc, I don't blame you at all for that, etc, but, that makes your opinion and assumption that there is no God, "bias", does it not...? And you have let "them" make you think that, have you not...?
So don' have any bias(es) due to "them", and then tell me what you "truly think and see", etc... Do you see that there has to be intelligence, or an intelligence behind it, etc...? Or not, etc...?
Anyway,
God Bless!
As I thought... you don't listen. It's very telling that you chose one of your own posts to quote. Because you don't even bother to address any post that has been made to respond to you.First off, I did not say you guys were stupid, but only that the idea or working off the assumption that there is no God is foolish and stupid, like scripture says, (Psalms 14:1, Psalms 53:1)...

I read all of your guys posts, and took them all in, etc, and instead of trying to respond to all of you each individually, I chose to respond to you all with one post, etc...As I thought... you don't listen. It's very telling that you chose one of your own posts to quote. Because you don't even bother to address any post that has been made to respond to you.
You ask a question, you get an answer... and you ignore it. That's... not very communicative.
Perhaps for the sake of not misleading those who try to communicate with you, you should stop asking questions and just resort to calling our positions "stupid".
And I was also talking about the "stupidity" around me "in general" as well, including many of my "supposedly fellow Christians" and" supposedly fellow believers", etc, that was or has colored or biased or negatively influenced many of your guy's opinions and thoughts and/or ideas about "God" and/or your perceptions, as well, K...As I thought... you don't listen.
