It seems that you could say evolution of religion is the best way to describe its diversity and distribution.This stupid video seriously under estimated the complexity of Christianity. In fact, every Christian has his or her own version of Christianity. It is more than just a few hundred versions. It is in millions or billions.
And, that is another unique beauty of Christianity.
And yet, each Christian believes they're the one who's right, the True Christians (tm).
That is very true. And it is all true. (I don't think you can understand, unless you are a Christian)
As I said, waiting on you. And no offence juve, but you're nothing to be afraid of - never were, either.
As SR said, they cannot all be correct - and from the point of view of science, they are equally void of explanatory ability.
How can I? You are asking me to predict the future. No-one can. This is like saying what creationists latest God of the gaps argument will be.
Evolution has not been falsified yet. It would be naturalistic, but could explain both what evolution could explain and could not explain and was falsified by.
I'm not sure why you're thinking that science wouldn't eventually formulate a new theory if evolution was falsified - evolution has already gone through one major overhaul already from Darwinism to the neo-Darwinian synthesis. It's what always happens - asinine to assume otherwise.
The very reason is that if there were one, we must have thought about it already. If we have not, then there is none.
This is not something like a new law of physics. This is about the idea of a major system.
If we can't even imagine it now, then it does not exist.
Of course panspermia is not included in evolution, I was offering it as an alternative to evolution!Panspermia (including Directed Panspermia) is an alternative to evolution, because it would also explain the distribution and diversity of life on earth.
OK, how about Spontaneous Generation, then?
So, would you like to answer my question, now? Can all creation stories be correct?
Then you should've said that.
Regardless, P V Q is neat and all, but you still have yet to give any good reason why we should care.
Depends who you talk to.
Try being a theistic evolutionist (who, as a group, tend to least fall into the trap of True-Christianism).
So you're that confident we'd have thought of it already? I'd love to know how one is supposed to think of a new theory using hypothetical anomalous data out of all the trillions of scenarios such data could occur in a given system.
This is just verbal fluff. Laws of physics are ideas of major systems, in case you hadn't noticed.
Assertion, and assertion only.
Instead of investing so much energy in trying to win by default, how about you actually work on providing support for creationism?
They could come from another part of the solar system as spores, etc. In the case of directed panspermia, life would have intentionally been seeded on earth by an alien species.OK, then what is the origin of panspermia? The seeds of lives have to come from somewhere.
Well, I would say: Hundreds of creation stories you don't ascribe to, creationism, evolution, panspermia, spontaneous generation.So we have three ideas of origin: creation, evolution, and (multi)-abiogenesis. Is that right?
No. Spontaneous generation is not directed by any god.Creation = Spontaneous Generation.
How can they all be correct if they contradict each other?Answer you want (I thought you figured it out on yourself): Within the domain of this argument, yes, any version of creation will work.
No effort on our part is going to make us a "True Christian".
What is going to make us a "True Christian" is what Jesus did for us.
Ephesians 2:4 ¶ But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, ( by grace ye are saved; )
Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Ephesians 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
You guys who are mocking what you call True Christians don't realize that you're only repeating Acts 11:
Acts 11:26b And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
Back then, the saints' antagonists mockingly called them "Christians"; today, our antagonists mockingly call us "True Christians".
They could come from another part of the solar system as spores, etc. In the case of directed panspermia, life would have intentionally been seeded on earth by an alien species.
Well, I would say: Hundreds of creation stories you don't ascribe to, creationism, evolution, panspermia, spontaneous generation.
No. Spontaneous generation is not directed by any god.
How can they all be correct if they contradict each other?
And I'm sure that you and I disagreeing doesn't bother us like it bothers those guys for some reason.I agree with you 100%.
But I do have different idea on what you said.
So, as far as NOW, creation or evolution is a T/F question.
I don't care if it will become a MC question in the future.
Then the OP is answered.
And I'm sure that you and I disagreeing doesn't bother us like it bothers those guys for some reason. They like to bring up that we don't see eye-to-eye on things, and ignore the fact that our moon has five major scientific theories behind it.
That is very true. And it is all true. (I don't think you can understand, unless you are a Christian)
Yes, we can interpret the Bible incorrectly -- but even an incorrect interpretation can pwn evolution back to where it came from.So, every view of every Christian is true even when they disagree with each other?

I accept TEs as my brothers-and-sisters in Christ.But you won't accept TEs, of course.
Any time you want to start making sense, be my guest.
