It is a fact, not an opinion, that as the positive claimant, the burden of proof is yours. No amount of wheedling or self-aggrandizing will get you out of this.
It is a fact, not an opinion, that all you have supplied in light of your responsibility is a parade of vacuous naked assertions, as anyone with a functioning brain can plainly see simply by reading your own words.
Or truth in general. What you have is called imagination, which you've mistaken for reality.
Again, you can't remedy a naked assertion by piling more naked assertions on top of it. I shouldn't have to explain this to an adult.
That's how it is in your imagination, I have no doubt. But meanwhile, in reality, it's a naked assertion in point of fact. It fits the exact definition.
I understand your position, though. You see, I am actually forty-seven feet tall. You might say 'no you're not', but that is because you are perishing. You are but a mewling babe, unable to comprehend the supreme nature of my forty-seven feet tallness. Only those who possess the Truth® are able to see it.
How do you acquire the Truth®? I'm glad you asked, child. It's very simple. The chosen people who possess the supreme Truth® of my forty-seven feet tallness are those who already believe I am forty-seven feet tall.
It's perfectly logical, as you can see.
Actually, it's a fact. You misattributed a fallacy. Again, anyone with a functioning brain and the ability to read can figure this out on their own with about thirty seconds worth of research into basic logical fallacies, so I'm not sure who you think you're fooling.
I find it hilarious when the religious use religion as a putdown. By all means, keep it up.
That would be another imaginary concept invented by clueless creationists, so no.
You can stop pretending to be amicable now. You're not even fooling yourself at this point.
Um, I would appreciate any feedback. And I've posted these questions on another board, in case if anyone accuses plagiarism. Thanks.
1. If God created humans and animals within a decently small timespan, why dont we ever find homo sapiens fossils from the same era as Australopithecus? We can see with hominid fossils that they come from different eras, and it just happens that as the dates approach the present, they become more and more similar to us. It seems quite mightily convenient for Evolutionary Theory that we find a similar trend throughout every fossil hierarchy. It doesnt seem to fit with the Creationist stance that God created the animals at around the same time why would they happen to exist in distinct eras with clear progressions from one set of fossils to the next?
2. Id asked earlier how creationists explain vestigial organs. More specifically, why it happens that these vestigial organs happen to have had a purpose in earlier species Evolution predicts were ancestors. Why would a Creator give animals vestigial organs in such a manner that so conveniently lines up with Evolutionary theory? Is this Creator actively deceiving us? And even in organs that do serve a purpose, Im sure any first year medical student could list numerous organs just in the human body that could be made orders of magnitude more efficient.
Indeed, many of our physical and mental traits seem uniquely adapted for survival in a hunter gatherer society, which makes absolutely no sense if you prescribe to Genesis, or any creator that would recognize we would eventually become agricultural and industrial. Evolution not only explains but expects such imperfections, as natural selection is a slow, blind process, the nonrandom selection of random mutations. But creationist theory has to perform mental gymnastics that reduce to god works in mysterious ways, or rather occams razor can go [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] itself.
3. Why dont Biblical creation stories mention Neanderthals and other sentient hominids? Youd think this would be a pretty major point, that there were once other intelligent beings, presumably also with souls. What happened to them?
4. Where are Creationisms testable predictions? It isnt falsifiable it is based on no observations and is not applicable to any other field. Evolutionary Theory can be used to explain numerous phenomena in biology, biochemistry, psychology, neuroscience and animal science, while creationism is entirely self contained in that it makes no predictions and no observations.
5. Building off of the last question, if, as with most creationists, your primary justification is some variant of the first cause argument, how do you extrapolate this to anything specific in your mythology? How do you know God created Eve out of Adams rib, or that he created the plants before the stars? Where does any of this come from?
Dear Readers, Unworthy of comment.
Simple common sense is also useful.
What concrete proof for evolution do we have from mathematical and scientific laws?
Probability and Thermodynamics prove contrary to evolution.
A sand castle on a beach proves that a human was present.
Human organs that were aforetime considered vestigial were later found not only useful, but essential in function
A dog marooned in the wild to adapt to its environment and propagates its generations over an extended period of time ends up still a dog.
Geological and fossil evidence studied are consequences of the flood that the Bible spoke of.
Why doesn’t the mother elephant suffer pain birthing an offspring that’s much larger than a new-born child?
If creation truth is ever proven false and evolution true, the DOI that says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are CREATED equal” would be rendered dead and worthless as a protector of liberty.
The bottom line in the creation-evolution controversy is the opposing mandates whether to accept or reject God as Supreme Authority.
I am a creationist simply because I know as a fact that there is a God that created. ...
How do you know for a fact that there is a God?
Taste.
Psalm 34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
First you asked how I know for a fact, then when I answer, you Arab phone it to "proof" to challenge my belief.How do you know for a fact that there is a God?

Er, I said "How do you know for a fact that God exists".
That is no more a proof for God's existence than "I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" is for Santa's existence.
Translation: 'I'm in way over my head. Time to cut and run.'

This is the kind of behavior I've grown to expect from you scientific methodists.
You really don't care, do you?
You're just here to ridicule, aren't you?
My mother died recently, and yeah, it got me thinking about my beliefs.
But sadly for you, very accurate.
Dear bhsmte, Only to those on the fringe of a teeny weeny tiny Minority Godhating opinion. What percentage of the population hate God so much that they spend their days fighting against that which they claim they don't believe?
Real Godhaters, who waste their days in such pursuit, are probably less than 1% of 1% of the population, and some of them post right here on this board. So don't feel sad for me. I've alive forevermore thanks to Jesus. Feel sad for those still held hostage by the devil himself.
In Love,
Aman
How do you hate something you don't believe exists?
Wrong kind of taste.Remember the Pepsi and Coke taste test? Good times.
Are you suggesting taste doesn't mean taste?
