CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Misunderstandings are common among creationists. It's why I posted the video.
Did you watch the video?

We're still waiting for you to address it. And SRGAP2C and ARHGAP11B. Any chance you can actually do so?

Truth is I've been thinking of doing exactly that but it's kind of difficult to get into this in detail given my personal problems, work and such. But to answer your question, of course I want to do that but I'm not really up to a serious study greeted by pedantic one liners and fallacious remarks. I'm always into one of these jousting matches when time permits but here lately I've been a little limited on time. Love to get into it with you on these issues, when I get a chance. Till then guess I'll just have to shoot down these pedantic fallacious arguments and wait till I can put together yet another well researched argument the descends into rhetorical head banging once again.

Tell you what Sarge, you and I have both been around for a while and we're not going anywhere. Address them when you can and as you see fit.
Thank you for your service.

Will you please just stop with the random throwing around of "ad hominem" accusation?
Literally not a single time was your accusation valid.
It's becoming quite ridiculous.
(and not, this is not an ad hom either - please go learn what it means first, before throwing out yet another false accusation).

No. That's a claim / assertion about the origins of life on earth - and a religious one at that.
It is not an "explanation", because it has no explanatory power whatsoever.

I understand that it's not an explanation that you accept, but it is an explanation. In the same way the multiverse is an explanation for origins of our universe and life on earth. The evidence will point to the truth, even when we don't agree or like the truth.
One really shows their denial if they can't even acknowledge a possible explanation. It's quite similar to how creationists deny evolution as a possible explanation for diversity of life on earth even though if evolution turns out to be true, it really has no bearing on God forming biological life to do what He wants it to do, which is change and evolve and flourish into higher realms of existence and understanding.
There's denial on both sides and only the truth can clear things up, we just need to be careful not to say certain explanations are not explanations when in reality they are explanations, just not explanations that we personally accept as possible or true and we should expect evidence to point to the truth, whether we like that truth or not.

Not a poor one, just one you do not agree with, which is fine. These forums should be for promoting understanding from both sides, not a battle.

This is a bit of a strawman on your part since that is not the claim of the evolution side. We simply point out the fact that life evolved and that the Genesis account is clearly wrong. In no way does that say "God did not do it." It is a rather bold assumption on your part that your version of "God" is the only and correct version of "God".

Your all over the road here. I contrasted 'God did it', with, 'God didn't do it', neither are scientific because natural science is an exclusively naturalistic epistemology. What you called a strawsman is inverse logic, there's always a flip side to logic.

The nature of logic is hot or cold, black or white, go or no go, With the statemet God didn't do it you have an inverse logic which is intuitively obvious. No escapi g it.
