"Embedded Age" Requires Fake Fossils

[Nic Samojluk]

humans and chimpanzees have a common ancestor.

Common design posseses a far superior explanatory power.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Thank you for admitting this serious limitation of evolution.

Nope. You are simply misunderstanding it. For example, we share a common ancestor with other great apes, we are still great apes, no change in kind. We share a common ancestor with other simians, we are simians, again no change in kind. We share a common ancestor with other mammals. We are still mammals, no change in kind. I could go on and on.

 

[RickG]

Yes, but they are interconnected. Evolutionary theory leads to a cul-de-sac. The common design is able to bridge that mystery gap. This means that it has a superior explanatory power.

I'm not quite certain that I understand what you mean by "common design". Are you suggesting that a common designer (God) created each individual species of fauna and flora that has ever existed throughout earth history in a sequence that mimics evolution?

 

[Subduction Zone]

Common design posseses a far superior explanatory power.

No sorry it does not. How has it ever been used in the world of science? If it has never been used then it has far weaker explanatory power.

 

[Nic Samojluk]

We share a common ancestor with other simians,

This is because we share a common design!

 

[Subduction Zone]

This is because we share a common design!

That is merely an unsubstantiated claim. What evidence do you have that supports this? Why is our DNA so extremely close to that of chimpanzees, the closest ancestor of ours as shown by fossil evidence? Why does DNA match the phylogeny shown by the fossil record as a whole so well? Why do we share ERV's with chimps in the exact same locations?

What I mean is that the entity responsible for life used common elements in the creation of all major life forms.

 

[RickG]

What I mean is that the entity responsible for life used common elements in the creation of all major life forms.

That still leaves me a bit in the fog but I won't press it. Let me ask another question. Are you a "young earth proponent". That is do you believe the earth is only some 6,000 to 10,000 years old based on biblical genealogies?

 

[Nic Samojluk]

If it has never been used then it has far weaker explanatory power.

It has never been used in science simply because evolutionists have closed the door for any explanations outside of materialism. Reality includes everything that exists. If the entity responsible for the origin of life exists, then true science should not ignore it.

Nope. Now you are sounding like a conspiracy theorist. You really need to try a bit harder.

Well, that's kind of the nature of science. It cannot investigate what it cannot observe, in fact it shouldn't because that would not be science. Oh the other hand, I don't know of any published peer review scientific research that states that it excludes a divine creator, nor do I know of any "legitimate" scientific journal that would allow such a statement to appear in a research article.

Because we share a common designer.

 

[Nic Samojluk]

I believe that when compared with the evolutionary theory’s millions of years alternative, life on earth is relatively young.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Because we share a common designer.

That does not explain the ERV similarity at all. You do realize that "Junk DNA" is alive and well, don't you?

Why haven't creationists used it?

 

[lasthero]

Because we share a common designer.

He couldn't have designed U.S. differently?

 

[Nic Samojluk]

Nope. Now you are sounding like a conspiracy theorist. You really need to try a bit harder.

Evolutionists have closed the door to a major portion of reality. Even Richard Dawkins admits that the scientific evidence suggests that there is an appearance of design in nature. I believe that we are surrounded by such evidence.

When scientists explore an ancient cave and find some drawings that cannot be attributed to chance, they have no problem admitting that some intelligent creature was responsible for said drawings.

This morning I was watching a video showing how flowers grow. When humans manufacture a contraption mimicking life, we have no problem admitting that intelligent action was responsible for this.

Evolutionists refuse to use the same logic when dealing with evidence of design in nature because admitting design leads to the recognition that an intelligent designer might be responsible for such evidence.

 

[Nic Samojluk]

Why haven't creationists used it?

Because evolutionists have a monopoly on scientific research dealing with origins.

 

[lasthero]

Because evolutionists have a monopoly on scientific research dealing with origins.

So creationists have no money to do research with? They don't have huge organizations? They don't get financial support from private contributors?

Did Ken Ham's museum just pop out of nowhere?

 

[Nic Samojluk]

He couldn't have designed U.S. differently?

Yes, but the designer chose not to. Car manufacturers have been using common design for many decades.
