Thats a silly arguement. By that logic, we cant 'prove' anything at all.Creation vs. evolution.
It CANNOT be proven, short of a time machine.
No one was there to witness the events.
We all take it on faith, based on our own belief paradigms.
Therefore the Bible cannot be proven and should be taken with a grain of salt, is that not correct? After all, no one alive was there to witness the events...Creation vs. evolution.

No sir... a scientist demonstrates how to use evidence, logic and inescapable conclusions to discover what happened in the past. If what was discovered agreed with what you believe due to your faith you'd be on the bandwagon cheering them on. But it doesn't so you do whatever you can to try and tear it down. In most cases what's been found is the only possibility rational men can accept. Given a choice between, "It happened this way or it was caused by magic to look like it happened this way but it was really just magic" I'll take the rational explanation every time.All an evolutionist does is demonstrate one (but not the only) possibility.

You can't prove anything at all about reality. We don't look for proof in science. We look for the most reasonable explanation of the evidence. The theory of evolution is, in short, the most reasonable explanation of the diversity of life on Earth. It is a process that we observe happening today, and a process of which we see copious amounts of evidence in the past.Creation vs. evolution.

Creation, by contrast, is very much contrary to the evidence.
No, it's not. It's not even remotely reasonable. After all, if the human body was engineered, why do we have an appendix? This little organ, after all, is the cause of quite a number of deaths each year.I'm glad you can acknoledge that it is not provable.
You may consider it reasonable to accept that nature engineered life, but I don't accept that explanation.
For me, a better explanation is that the Elohim engineered life.
The truth isn't subjective, Merlin. You can't claim that something is acceptable 'for you' when it is blatantly against logic. That's what is known as wishful thinking. And no matter how much you may wish something were true, that doesn't make it so.You even dare to claim what is acceptable For me?

Philosophically speaking, nothing can be absolutely "proven".Creation vs. evolution.

Thank you for making it clear.
You are deciding for me based on your own beliefs.
To echo FishFace, I am not deciding anything for you. I'm saying that your decision is irrational and unsupportable. All that you have done so far is attempt to claim that a belief in creation is every bit as good as a belief in evolution. This is simply false, because evolution has evidence. Mountains of it.Thank you for making it clear.

I am so glad Stephen Colbert came up with the word truthiness:I'm glad you can acknoledge that it is not provable.

Truthiness is a satirical term coined by television comedian Stephen Colbert to describe things that a person claims to know intuitively, instinctively, or "from the gut" without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or actual facts.
