Two different meanings of "design" invoked in one post, but still no definition.

They are explained by the mechanism involved: randomly distributed variation and natural selection. You have no idea of how the randomly distributed variation on which evolution relies is produced, and neither did Pritchard. Pritchard had an excuse--it was a hundred and fifty years ago and no...

Why didn't Trump? Almost half of the illegals in this country entered it legally and are the responsibility of ICE, not the Border Patrol. It's been that way for years and all conservatives ever do is whine about local LEOs who wont' do their job for them. If it's economic migrants you're...

Only white Jews. ;)

You sure are playing fast and loose with the meaning of "design." I think it's time for you to come up with a definition or shut up.

I think that remark is self-serving and offensive. It is not only offensive to scientists, atheists and theists alike, but to Traditional Christians like myself who believe that God can do His work in a way that appears to science as a completely natural process, and have the theology to back...

No, I'm sure He entered the country legally, like almost half of the illegals in this country now--who ICE can't catch and whine when local LEOs wont do it for them..

I'm sure I don't know how to respond to that level of magical thinking. MS-13 Was a gang of Salvadorian immigrants in LA which had no presence in El Salvador until we started deporting them there--that's a fact. I didn't say that more drugs equals less OD deaths--that's a lie. I said legal...

I'm not sure what your point is here. The 9/11 terrorists entered the country legally and MS-13 originated here. Reducing OD deaths is one of the reasons for legalizing hard drugs.

Here is an article about the Wyoming when launched, with an interesting cross-sectional drawing showing three decks--just like the Ark was supposed to have had. Marine Engineering/log This link is to a general introduction to large wooden ship construction...

And the reason the original did not was because of a miracle?

It's an interesting coincidence that Jesus used those stories in His preaching in exactly the same way as a liberal preacher would do who didn't believe in literal inerrancy.

Of course. But that "some way" need not be detectable to science, that is, evolution will appear to science to be an entirely natural process.

They? Who's they? In any case, the stories of Jesus were composed many centuries later than the Ark account, by different authors with different literary agendas writing in different languages to different historiographical conventions. Comparing the Ark account to the Gospels is like...

The issue is to demonstrate to creationists why they should not expect the Flood--and YECism generally--to be taught as historic fact in the public schools. Nobody cares if they believe in it themselves.

We don't know anything about the Ark--beyond that it was said to be built of some now-unknown kind of wood to dimensions which no longer can be accurately converted to those presently in use. And it had three decks and a window. There is not enough information for any kind of structural analysis.

The existence of God is really only on topic here if it is asserted that the naturalistic theory of evolution is not an adequate explanation for the evolution of the eye. Creationists and IDists believe that it is not; theistic evolutionists* and atheists believe that it is. That looks to me...

Yes, and all of those are metaphysical questions, not scientific questions--in fact, as such they are off-topic in this forum.

LOL! Can you not imagine, say, a race of intelligent crustaceans who decorate their places of worship with a pot of boiling water? :) Just remember that God has more imagination than you do and a better grasp of the possible outcomes of an evolutionary process than any of us. Yes, atheists...

Where did I say that I think the author meant a local flood? I said specifically that I couldn't tell for certain from the Bible whether the author meant the entire terrestrial globe or just everywhere he new about or had ever heard of.
