    Weasel Words

    I see lots of debates on this forum with weasel words. Kind of like a straw man with words, using specific words to demean the opposition. Life coming from nowhere, or the big bang is an explosion, evolution involves random processes, and so on. I would like to see a debate without the use...

    Short Story Meant To Convey A Couple Points

    So critique me, say what you got out of it, yada yada:P This was truly the most peculiar thing to ever happen to me. In a matter of seconds, my memory and brain was instantly mapped with a lifetime of memories. In a sense, I was outside of time and space. Said I to god, in our...

    Catastrophism vs. Uniformitarianism

    By accepting that life adapts, you inadvertently accept evolution. Evolution is simply the change in gene frequencies in a population over time. This can be on the cellular level or among organisms. What I'm guessing you have issues with is Common Descent or speciation. But this is what I...

    Simple Idea That Should End The Debate

    "Just as Einstein scientifically expanded on and explained more than Newton's theories, so shall whatever defeats evolution" - Kahalachan Would anyone remember Einstein if he poked holes in Newton's ideas of gravity? Where would we be if he didn't work hard to scientifically formulate better...

    The Problem With Calling Things Designed.

    People tend to call things designed or created. If we say the universe is designed, naturally, we can assume a designer. But are we using the right words, such as design or creation? Design implies taking parts and making a different whole out of those parts. We find materials and ways to...

    Laws Are Subject To Change As Well, Right?

    I'm pretty sure Newton's Law of F = MA was changed after Einstein to include the speed of light as a variable. Correct me if I'm wrong. And the point of this topic is to say laws aren't any better than theories.

    Why Aren't All Christians Pro-Choice?

    Leading people to Jesus is the #1 goal of a Christian right? So if all fetuses go to heaven and get to be with Jesus, abortion seems best. 100% success rate for salvation. Letting a fetus be born and grow up to risk rejecting the gospel seems to be a less desirable alternative...

    Question I Haven't Seen Creationists Bring Up

    But maybe they should As we know it, nothing can escape a black hole. Quantum tunnelling, but not everything that goes into it. If I were a Creationist, I would start with omnipotence and say that something more powerful than anything in the universe would have to push all the compressed...

    Do Creationists Know Who James Hutton Is?

    We hear about Darwin a lot, but not of James Hutton, the father of modern geology. He pre-dates Darwin and figured out the earth had to be much older than previously thought. Many geologists of that time, believed God created individual animals but upon seeing the evidence presented, realize...

    What Is A Transitional Fossil?

    I'm curious, cause I see this brought up a lot. What implies a transition? Evolution is a slow gradual process. I can't even say there is any sort of transition. How can one offspring, suddenly be the transition? It is slightly different from its parents, and different enough to the...

    Evolution Is False Therefore.......

    Santa Claus made the universe The Flying Spaghetti Monster made the universe God made the universe according to Genesis. Is there anyway to give the last statement more credit than the previous suggestions? No, since they argue based on argument ad ignoratum. Yours is false therefore...

    With Much Of The Scientific Consensus Agreeing Upon Evolution

    Do you wonder if maybe your arguments against evolution look as absurd as arguments against a round earth? If you look through these forums.... http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forums/ The logic behind a lot of the reasoning is similar to what I've seen used by Creationists except flat...

    Do Your Abortion And Animal Rights Views Correlate?

    As far as brain development? If you're against all abortions at whatever stage, it seems you should be vegetarian. If you're for abortion at week 40 when your life isn't in danger, then it seems you should have no problem with people eating dog or chimpanzee. I'm a little bit off. I...

    Game Theory And Morality

    In simple terms, Game theory is an algorithm involving cooperation and competiton. Within a cooperative environment, the results are ideal when all parties cooperate. Within a competative environment, those who cooperate in the midst of those who compete will soon take on the strategy of...

    List Of People Willing To Learn About Evolution

    Post here if you are someone willing to learn about evolution. This topic will serve as a reference for me, and maybe others, so that I can know if any reply will be fruitful. If you are someone who will never accept evolution, then it is evident that no reply will help you understand this...

    What Does Theistic Evolution Mean?

    Does it mean God guided evolution? Or does it mean that you believe in a God and naturalistic evolution without supernatural interference?

    Archaeological Evidence Supporting The Bible vs. Fossil Evidence Supporting Evolution

    Is there a difference between the two? I'm curious why fossilized evidence supporting evolution is misinterpreted whereas, archaeological evidence supporting the Bible is accurately interpretted? Or vice versa I personally think both support their respective disciplines and both can suffer...

    If God Took Away His Power Would It Be God?

    Let's say God became Jesus but only decided to be a man. Not the man/God duality in Christianity. So would there still be a God? At that moment atheists would be right in saying there is no God, but they would also be wrong in a sense because there was a God who self-negated. Makes you...

    Here's Some Helpful Tips When Questioning Evolution

    If any of you others who accept evolution have some good tips, by all means post :) 1. Take it in moderation: I agree it is rather mind-blowing to think of a single cell in a vast ocean, reproducing and eventually leading up everything we have today. But evolution is a gradual and time...
