Don't tell me there's any proof for creationism.

Yes, and I've simply asked that you define what you mean by this.
And I did provide the definition of intersection. You have not yet provided any dispute of that definition.
Quote:

If two fleets of ships pass through each other on the Pacific without a collision, have they intersected?
Why would you think they had based on the definition of "intersect?" Did you give us a definition of the boundary for each fleet? Why didn't you define that boundary? It seems you can't define the boundary.
Quote:

Or does it require a collision for an intersection to occur?
Since you haven't defined the boundary of the fleet there is no way to tell if they collided. :wink:
Quote:

Does matter/energy in one universe have to collide with matter/energy in another for your definition of 'intersection' to have been satisfied?

To answer this, you will have to know something about the boundaries of each proposed universe, and their properties.
Let's look at your fleet scenario. They pass through each other with none of the individual ships colliding but both fleets were able to observe the other fleet as it passed by. Both fleets would have felt the effects of the other fleet as it went by in the movement of the water. Your intersection of 2 fleets proves a point you were trying to disprove. We don't need to know the boundary of the fleets to know that they would observe the effects of any intersection. We don't need to know the make up of the fleets or the rules the fleets sail under or the boundary of the fleets. We only need to know that they have "intersected" on the ocean along with the basic rules of how the ocean works.

Quote:

I've asked how you know specifically about the boundary, the properties etc of an UNKNOWN universe. (Does it even have matter/energy?)
For 2 universes to intersect they would have to share at least one dimension.
Quote:

Your response is , well , you just know.
Really? I said that? Where? When? Or are you just making up stuff because you can't make a rational argument?
Quote:

Quaint.
I find your tactics to be obvious and predictable.

Quote:

I thought you were all about evidence and proof and I was supposedly the one who did without?

You talk about 'multiverses' that are outside our universe and not subject to the laws of our universe.
No, I talked about universes that are outside our universe that are subject to the same laws that our universe is subject to. They just don't share the same local laws as our universe.
Quote:

When a question arises of the implications of such a view, you fudge that these alternate universes really could be subject to our laws after all.
Really? I said that? where? when? You just LOVE to make up things don't you real life.
Quote:

The point is you really don't know, and are unwilling to look at the consequences of either possibility. You just jump back and forth between them.
"What you 'know'" I don't know "and what you 'assume'" I don't know "are mostly products of your own bent thinking."

Quote:

So let's deal with what we know of our universe.

We have matter/energy.

It cannot be created by natural means.
Really? So when did you disprove quantum physics? I would love to see your math on it.

On the basis of that criterion, you have no business in this discussion.

What evidence do you have for creationism, "real life?"

Yes, we've asked for evidence of creationism many times, and the only attempt at an answer we've seen is along the lines of, "sunsets are so beautiful I can just feel god in my heart". I guess we forgot to specify that only non-delusional evidence would be accepted.

Plenty of evidence has been provided - 'you' do not accept the evidence.

It should be a simple matter for you to link those posts in which the "evidence" has been provided. Care to put the links where your big mouth is?

Once you've provided an equitable definition for "evidence" - one that does not move - my big mouth will be more than happy to do so. :wink:

Have you never felt that ros? And sunsets are ten-a-penny. What about great art?

I'm mighty glad my education didn't cause a sterile effect like that.

I will provide it without you having to jump through any hoops. Here it is in its entirety, ALL THE EVIDENCE that BD says he needs:

Follow the responses from there if you want to see the ridiculous at its best.

Rememer? Testable means: "Requiring a doctrine of faith".

I have highlighted above that portion of your response to the effect that evidence has been provided. Incredibly, you quote yourself before doing this quixotic weasel act in which you attempt to suggest that you cannot provide evidence because you don't know how i define evidence.

Use the definition of evidence you were using yourself when you claim that plenty of evidence has been provided, and link the posts in which that evidence was presented.

Just how stupid can the bible-thumpers get ? ! ? ! ?

Whistling in the dark mate. Composing words into turgid configurations in order to reassure oneself. Pathetic!!

They used to say that Harold Wilson was "too clever by half". And he was a Methodist, whatever that is.

The type of evidence we are looking for is scientific evidence (using the accepted standards of such).

Perhaps we should ask, what type of evidence are you offering? Are you defining a new class of evidence called anecdotal evidence? Or perhaps you would prefer to offer your "gut feel" as a new class of evidence.

If you are not offering scientific evidence, then what type are you offering?

You need to look in a mirror when you make remarks like that.

You said that plenty of evidence has been presented. I asked you to link posts in which that evidence has been presented. Instead of doing so, you began to whine about what would constitute evidence, even though you had said that evidence had been presented.

If plenty of evidence for creationism has been presented, it is a simple matter for you to point out which posts presented that evidence. The fact that you don't seem inclined to do so suggests to me that you are talking out of your @ss.

ros:

As I stated - the definition must be EQUITABLE for both sides.

I've successfully provided evidence based on the standard definition and was subsequently ridiculed for using such low-tech drivel - being told that science uses different means or something to that effect. [Eons ago when I attended college - the prof's maintained an eye on fundamentals, which included traditional definitions. Obviously at some point since the early 1980's, the science departments in our universities instituted a super high tech dictionary that is also super secret because I cannot put my hands on one. Even my alma mater claims that none exists. Shame on them for being so antiquated - or secretive, whichever the case!]

Since the standard definition was not accepted by some on here; I'm asking for an equitable definition that can be utilized as a new standard. So far, member setanta is raising holy heck about this, yet still refusing to provide a definition - presumably for personal reasons.

I'm not asking for the dead sea scrolls here - it ain't rocket science. A simple, equitable definition for the word; evidence.

By the way, the title of the thread is "Don't tell me there's any proof for creationism"--not evidence, proof. Big difference there, Bubba.

Right. :wink:

Your past shows your intentions. Take the time to find the information yourself in order to fulfill your ridiculous desires. And offering to agree to a standard definition of the word 'evidence' is likewise a reasonable (and much more logical) request - so please do so.

Provide an equitable definition for 'proof' as well - I am all for it.

You're the one making the claim that you have provided evidence for creationism. If you make a claim, you have the burden of demonstrating your claim. I'm not obliged to do your leg work for you, you pathetic, dim-witted bible thumper. The same goes for proof--if you claim you have proof of creationism, present it, and take your punishment like a grown up.

The title of the thread is "Don't tell me there's any proof for creationism." I've seen no such proof. You claim you have provided evidence (which is not the same thing as proof)--but given your unwillingness to show the evidence you provided, and furthermore to explain why it should be considered proof--i consider you a liar.
