So was I missing something?

This thread was entitled "Creation Evidence," but the OP did not present any evidence that indicates a creation. All I read was a bunch of PRATTS about evolution being wrong. No creation evidence.

IMHO, the OP is off-topic.

"How much courage does it take..."

To stand up for one's beliefs? Particularly when they are surrounded by vipers?

A lot.
As somebody once said, intransigent belief is not a virtue but a sign of intellectual and moral weakness.

It takes more courage to question your beliefs than simply to stick with them.

There are millions of evolutionary scientists all over the world -- every country, every religion, every economic background. They are highly intelligent, well educated, and hard working.

If evolutionary theory actually had the flaws you imagine it does, do you really think those scientists are so stupid as not to notice?

Here's a crazy thought -- maybe instead you don't actually know the first real thing about evolution.

I'm pretty sure she's just busy publishing her ideas in Nature and will be soon collecting her nobel prize. These errors are so flagrant, it's amazing scientists how scientists just seemed to have missed them.

Maybe it's more amazing that she's refuting claims that aren't even made by evolution.

And you need to come across with something other than hate and vitriol. I have read a number of your post, and the only point you ever seem to make is how much you dispise what you term as 'YECs.'

Hate? What hate? The only think I think anyone hates is the incessant repetition and rehashing of tired arguments that don't work, and never did the first thousand times they were used.

Seriously - Louis Pasteur disproved spontaneous generation - that's old news. It's somewhat insulting when someone clearly thinks you're so out of touch A) with science and B) with the discussion at hand that they bring up this nonsense.

Mutations only scramble existing mutation? Where did nylonase come from then?

This isn't hate; it's frustration that no creationist seems able to acknowledge the body of evidence and state of discussion.

"She's not surrounded by vipers. Just people who are better educated than she is."

Ah, yes, the patented response of the enlightened ones.

We have decided there is no god, therefore we are smarter than everyone who believes there is. Because anyone who actually studies the theory of evolution will automatically reject any belief in the notion of a god or creator, which is the only path to true enlightenment.

"As somebody once said, intransigent belief is not a virtue but a sign of intellectual and moral weakness."

How about intransigent non-belief?

I was not the OP on this thread, I did not make the statements to which you refer in the OP.

In addition, my comments were not directed at you.

Not bad so far.

5) Therefore, everything in the Bible must be fact and true.
6) Thus, if you don't believe in the literal creation account in Genesis, you believe Christ lied, which means you don't believe in the resurrection, which means no salvation.
Christ did refer to the flood, and the time of Eden, so rejecting that is not believing Him on the matter.
Seems to me that the mark of one that believes in Jesus, and the bible, is that they believe in Jesus, and the bible. Many people are saved, that are not quite at that place yet, apparently, and may never be in this life. But, far as I can tell, the main thing is to simply believe Jesus, and accept His gift. The rest will follow eventually.

Therefore when I see Christians that do not believe Him, or the bible, I consider that an indication they have a long way to go in some departments.

Let's not be pretentious here, or hypocritical. Do you think anything would give salvation? I doubt it, since you bear the atheist icon. I have never heard anyone say that creationism gives salvation anyhow. What a load.


Oh so then you and the other creationist who accuse other christians of not really being christian because they don't believe as you do is what.... a joke?

I accuse who of what, where?? No idea what you are talking about. I may cringe at the utter lack of belief in the bible of some, and realize they are not really bible believers, however.

"She's not surrounded by vipers. Just people who are better educated than she is."

Ah, yes, the patented response of the enlightened ones.

That is also true, I certainly seem to be more enlightened than she is.

We have decided there is no god, therefore we are smarter than everyone who believes there is.

I know lots of Christian scientists that are smarter than me. She isn't one of them.

Because anyone who actually studies the theory of evolution will automatically reject any belief in the notion of a god or creator, which is the only path to true enlightenment.

That's a mighty fine straw man you are building yourself there.

Do you always attempt to put words into other peoples mouths like this? Or is it a form of dishonesty you have taken to recently?

And so you're saying the same thing. Reject belief in the Bible as literal fact, and you reject Jesus, therefore if you don't believe in the Bible you are not saved.

See? You said it, you just took a long way to say it.

Your rant isn't even on point. This is not a debate about the existence of God.

That said, I have a question: How come nearly every field of study - theologies included - gets to delineate its own parameters and sanction its own experts with little external objection, but when the hard sciences do the same, anti-evolutionists go all shriekingly post-modern, as if strength of belief is sufficient all by itself to supplant a decade of dedicated academic study?

Newsflash for you, Sparky. The people who spend summer after summer in hot deserts tediously extracting fossil after fossil and who literally strain their back testing every nook and crany of evolutionary theory do in fact know way more than you. Some people are smarter, wiser, and better educated than the rest of the idiots running loose in the world. The real problem is that the idiots generally believe they're in the former and not the latter category.


We have decided there is no god, therefore we are smarter than everyone who believes there is.

Excepting of course the many evolutionists who are also religious.

I'm sorry, what were you babbling?

How about intransigent non-belief?

In the absence of any substantive evidence, it's called common sense.

"You'll be in the lake of fire with billions of others who believe we evolved from monkeys!"
- Jack Chick, Famous Creationist Cartoonist
http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1041/1041_01.asp?wpc=1041_01.asp

But would it be the believing in silly fables that got them into hell? No. Besides, that lake of fire business, I think is misunderstood. The only folks I read that got thrown in were the Antichrist, false prophet, and the devil. Not all that crowded, apparently. Even if many real stinkers need to do lake time, I think that the lake is for the very very wicked. At least that is my current understanding of that.
