For creationists: give me your arguments against evolution.

Your post is the best example of why no one takes creationism seriously anymore, except for a cult of paranoia.

I've not found one spaghetti monster believer yet.
Still not one even interested in hearing about it.

Oh, that flying spaghetti monster thing is a big fat joke! No one takes that seriously... I, on the other hand, am a follower of The Invisible Pink Unicorn. I have been touched by her majestic horn. Its not a religion, but a personal relationship.

Good thread. For starters: Weak faith. for instance, I don't have enough faith to believe that all the information contained in DNA came about by natural selection rather than an Intelligent Being.

But then, I also have a hard time believing the newspaper in my family room, which also contains information although far far less than a DNA strand, came about by natural selection (or pure chance) rather than intelligent beings; so, no big surprise, huh? i just simply don't have enough faith.

Well, the theory actually makes sense. So as a logical deduction, instead of by faith, one can accept it. After all, we see natural selection working today, we can computationally try it out and observe it to work, and we have the fossil record consistent with common ancestry of all life.

You have great faith! Tell us more truth about your relationship
and how it has impacted your life! We love to hear true stories
and appreciate your honesty.

Thanks for backing me on that!

I can't tell whether or not you actually comprehend the idea of a parody religion.

Apparently not.

I don't have enough faith to believe in creationism. That is why I accept the theory of evolution as the best scientific explanation for the diversity and distribution of life on Earth.

I appreciate your honesty, and I think you are getting to the crux of the issue. You and I see the same evidence, we hear the explanation, but we don't have enough faith to accept the explanation.

Have you ever believed something strongly, but later changed your mind so that you believed a different thing just as strongly?

I seek value.

If it brings you value, and you're being honest, that's fine.

I was just explaining the concept of a parody religion.

It parodies religion for purposes of comedy, and comedy has value.

Why do you need faith when evolution is supported by evidence?

The problem that you have is that you will never allow evidence to be considered.

You're guilty of the fallacy of using "evolution" as a monolithic term. Its' not.

If you want to offend people and goad then into beheading you.
Freedom of speech is actually an insult to nature and evolution.
