Not that "before Evolution: you must become a fish", but Jesus never said "before man, be ape"

Didn't Hans say:
Emphasis mine.Yes.It isn't.

This is confused, contradictory and nonsensical.

 

[FrumiousBandersnatch]

I agree.

I like to call those things you mentioned (combustion engines, photons, viruses) "Easter eggs".

Things God "hid" (or embedded) into His creation, pending discovery when the right time came.

Combustion engines were there 'pending discovery'? It seems odd, given the human exceptionalism Creationists tend to espouse, how little credit they're prepared to give humans for their hard-won inventions...

Isn't it remarkable in AV's little world God takes credit for these basic inventions.

God should also take credit for the following classic inventions.

The Detachable Dog Sack. Enjoy a drive with man's best friend, but hate the hair he leaves behind?
The Cat Wig.
iPhone Fingers.
The Pedal-Powered Wheelchair.
The Inflatable Dartboard.
iFlyz Portable Media Player Airline Holder.
Battery-Powered Battery Charger.
Method for Collision Recognition With a Pedestrian.

To name a few.....

LOL -- I was expecting that to be the very next post.

Have you seen my thread, where I [somewhat] vindicate Ray Comfort's banana video?

Probably, but one thread of nonsense is much like another...

Yeah, that one works.

That may be, but I'm not the one who doesn't understand.

 

[AV1611VET]

Yeah, that one works.

That one (Post 100) is more informative than the other one anyway. The other one just had the top half.

Is this your idea of a refutation to a list of God-gifted scientists who made our lives better?

And what's your point?
I can refer to other lists as well and not confuse correlation with causation.

Example 1.
List of inventions in the medieval Islamic world.

Example 2.
15 Professors who were also criminals.

Example 3.
List of atheists in science and technology.

Evidently God does work in mysterious ways by bestowing intellectual gifts on Muslims, criminals and atheists.
Your anti-intellectualism is so deeply ingrained you can't even give credit to those who have ultimately improved the quality of your life but do not conform to your distorted views.

It's the weirdest thing to me where today science can take a hike by way too many folks, yet at the same time so many Christians have participated in the development of scientific knowledge.

Do you remember making Post 63?

I just didn't want you to miss anything.

Here is another list.
The anti-Catholic garden variety type of creationist would look at this with horror.

Why don't you try constructing a coherent post instead of engaging in childish riddles.

There are inventions:

Psalm 106:29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

Psalm 106:39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

And there are inventions:

Proverbs 8:12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
