My Superiority Challenge

[AV1611VET]

Which is superior: Creation or Evolution?

 

[pitabread]

Reading between the lines, what this poll is actually evaluating is whether people feel that dogmatic religious beliefs are superior to scientific inquiry.

Obviously there are people here that do feel the former is superior to the latter. However, such claims seem non-demonstrable by any independent criteria.

I don't really get the point of the poll. At least when it comes to knowing about things like "Confirmation Bias" unless you are somehow hoping that people will either expound or debate their point of view.

Which is superior: Creation or Evolution?

Depends upon the criteria you use.

For many people the Creation of the diversity of life was achieved through evolution and therefore your challenge has no meaning.

I'll vote for Evolution for the obvious reason that it has nine letters whereas Creation only has eight. Clearly superior.

What do you mean "superior"?

Creation is superior in the dictionary. So there.

It's clearly a dumb poll and I suspect the OP knows it.

I always read dictionaries backwards as it aids digestion, so Evolution comes first. This is well known in avant garde circles.

No 'either' or 'other' option?

 

[AV1611VET]

Whew! I almost didn't call this a challenge thread!

If youre a sensible creationist, creation came first, followed by a history of change we call evolution.

The last shall be first.

I don't see how it's a challenge.
It's just asking "What is your opinion?"

I.e. dogmatic humanistic beliefs

Blasphemy and Contempt of Christianity
It is considered blasphemy to insult or mock Christianity or any part of the Trinity-Father (God), Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit.

...just...FYI

Huh?

 

[pitabread]

Never mind.

 

[Eftsoon]

Do you mean which process would bring about superior results?
Which process has superior explanatory power?

Interesting point. I took @Phred 's remark to be a kind of reductio ad absurdum put down of this Challenge thread the principle of which, in my opinion, casts an unjustifiably negative light on Christianity. Thus any mocking of Christianity is inadvertently coming from the OP and Phred is merely pointing this out. My own posts here have certainly had that intention, to highlight what a silly thread it is. Of course I may just be reading between lines that exist only in my imagination.
