the big bang theory certainly existsInteresting. So there can be no theory concerning first cause nor eternal universe?
Reason and argumentation. Questions of semantics, grammatics, historical assumptions. Is it absolutely definite Genesis is meant to be read literally and not allegorically? Nah, it just seems the stronger possibility.What if the creationist Biblical interpretation wasn't true? What then?
YECs reject any model of origins that precludes God (in a literal Genesis 1 context). But our grasp of contemporary STEM does not suffer for it.As pointed out repeatedly now, evolution is not synonymous with atheism.
So....the BB points at God, you are saying?the big bang theory certainly exists
No i'm saying that the big bang theory is a theory of "first cause" and is based on evidence and observation and can be and has been tested.So....the BB points at God, you are saying?
I'm impressed.I am a member of Mensa ...
No, theories are ways in which facts are organized whether they are testable or not(in fact, if falsifiability is your criteria then evolution fails that test). "Evidence" is meaningless until it is placed in a theory that provides both a description of facts and a explanation of what those facts indicate.Intelligent design or creationism are not theories. Theories are based on evidence and observation and can be tested.
this will probably depend on your understanding of what a scientific theory appropriate to teaching in a classroom is. As to the properties of God, they are not directly relevant to the ludicrosity of any particular theory in general.You're not answering.... ...So you are, or you are not, going to call Creationism ludicrous? After all, if God is Omnipotent... or is that ludicrous too?
THEORY theory - Dictionary DefinitionIntelligent design or creationism are not theories. Theories are based on evidence and observation and can be tested.
A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world and universe that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results.No, theories are ways in which facts are organized whether they are testable or not
care to back this up?(in fact, if falsifiability is your criteria then evolution fails that test).
and the theory of evolution does that"Evidence" is meaningless until it is placed in a theory that provides both a description of facts and a explanation of what those facts indicate.
You left out the majority of the definition. Why?THEORY theory - Dictionary Definition
noun
a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena
word salad, or cryptic?this will probably depend on your understanding of what a scientific theory appropriate to teaching in a classroom is. As to the properties of God, they are not directly relevant to the ludicrosity of any particular theory in general.
Good poll.
I voted: I'm a creationist and I think creationist beliefs do NOT encourage anti-intellectualism.
Well you are closer than average to a decent understanding of "theory" but can you tell us why evolution is not a theory, or why it fails as such if that was your meaning?No, theories are ways in which facts are organized whether they are testable or not(in fact, if falsifiability is your criteria then evolution fails that test). "Evidence" is meaningless until it is placed in a theory that provides both a description of facts and a explanation of what those facts indicate.
Because this one suffices. There are several different uses of the word "theory". Yours was only one of them too.You left out the majority of the definition. Why?
I think Alfred is both smiling and winking at us all the time.Are you being ironic? It's hard to tell.
you are the one who claimed that evolution has been falsified...can you back that claim up?What piece of evidence would prove it false?
That wasn't my intent, but to highlight that whether "scientific" or not ID and creation are both theories, though not necessarily empirical.Well you are closer than average to a decent understanding of "theory" but can you tell us why evolution is not a theory, or why it fails as such if that was your meaning?
suffices for what?Because this one suffices.
