spendi. Youve come to these discussions later. ALL the arguments invoking the mountains of evidence have been presented. The Creationists have a single methodology, they keep bringing up the same "arguments" infront of new people. Either the Creationists are terribly senile or they are, as Setanta states , merely wishing to be seen as the "last guys standing" You dont help matters much because youre points are often in a phrase structure thats only clear to you. Now where I comew from, when only the speaker understands what hes saying thats either
1Glossolalia of the truest kind or

Quote:billions of words have been written fulminating against scientific evolution applied to last things,often by very eminent people,and some think they can just dismiss it all with a "stupid" or a "silly" or a "crap"

All of the points that are brought up by the "eminent" scientists who published these "Billions" of words, have been carefully and concisely demolished with clear evidence. Science has always been polite in considering these evidentiary musings and philosophy (AT LEAST THE FIRST TIME) However, when the same arguments that appeared in 1975 to the ICR by Duane Gish are being presented today as "new stuff", IT is crap. Youve not taken the time to do a historical survey. Sine, I believe you stated that you were a philosopher? Youd appreciate Michael Ruse" book
The Evolution-Creation Struggle2005, Harvard Press. Its his latest and, like the earlier works of this man, he exposes his Christian beliefs and then proceeds to take apart anti-evolution for what it is, essentially fact free products of a small, yet vocal number of religious groups that have gothemselves painted into a modernist v fundamentalist corner. They are unable to back themselves out without disassembling their religious beliefs.Thats none of my concern, as long as they dont try to seep their sewage into our schools . The battles will rage on and science will prevail because it has nothing to rely upon except facts. Thats good enough for me. Whatever name you wish to attach to scientists remember, they live for ignorance, they get up in the morning to plow in the fields of ignorance. Thats where the work is.
