Indeed, he is not here for honest debate.

You should be clear by now on what I'm after so with that in mind, instead of the cop out, put the blame on others, state your case, and then you can also make your case where I get dishonest.

Can you do that or are you just talking?

I’m not responsible for your education.

And that goes right back to blaming it all on me, my reality is bogus and yours is just fine....it's automatic and goes without saying here.

Does it occur to you that it might actually be you?

A rhetorical question as Ophiolite was correct, there is enough material in this thread to expose your antics (as there is on all the threads you “participate” in).

Good day to you and good luck to you in your trolling.

Actually, I feel sorry for Christians like Kenny, putting their their faith in Christ unnecessarily at risk by tying it to a dubious interpretation of Genesis. It must be very hard for them.

I was at least hoping for an original cop out....oh, well.

Cop out? From what?

As you clearly are wholly ignorant about even the very basics of science (and theology) there is no point in debating you until you have educated yourself.

I had thought from the content of his posts that he was a teenager, turns out he’s a grown man of 63, embarrassing.

again: 95% of your commet is about me rather then about the evidence. so i will give you evidence against your claim. since we can find nested hierarchy among designed objects (image below)the fact that we can find the same hierarchy in nature doesnt prove evolution. very simple.

Oh OK. Well, we didn't see creation happen either. Guess that didn't happen. And my conception? Didn't see it, so it didn't happen.

no. we can detect design without watching it designed. we do that all the time when we walk on the street and see a car or a pc. we know that such complex system are the product of design. right? on the other hand: we cant prove that a banana and a dog are related.

This is strictly due to pattern recognition. We're not actually "detecting design" so much as detecting patterns we recognize relative to their environment. However, even that pattern recognition is flawed given our ability to recognize familiar shapes (particularly faces) in things by pure coincidence. See the "face on Mars" as a prime example.

i just saying that we cant prove that a banana and a cat share a common descent. this is a belief.

2) evolution isnt scientific since we cant test it.

Like everything in science, evolution tested via forming hypotheses based on the underlying theory and then testing those hypotheses. In that sense, evolution can be tested.

But to understand how this works first requires understanding the scientific method and the theory of evolution.

so you cant detect design if you will see in your first time a flying saucer for instance?
