Good for you, but as expected, utterly irrelevant.
No one cares what you accept, that has NOTHING to do with truth or reality. Please provide evidence I ever referred to "MR/MRS/MS NATURE" It rained, Rain is natural. The puddle filled. That is natural. I said Natural cause. I have a puddle in my back yard, the cause is that it rained. There is evidence of natural causes. Please present the evidence of the creator or the method used by that critter to influence evolution. Until you present evidence equal to the evidence of natural causes you have nothing. Since there is evidence that there are natural causes but no evidence of a creator or any method used by that critter to influence evolution logic demands that until such evidence is presented that the creator or the method used by that critter be simply disregarded. Your continued posting of absolute falsehoods and irrelevancies does not make them true or relevant. It really is that simple.Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Hey Jar,
I get the distinct impression you may go hungry with your request. I say just keep asking until you get too bored to repost it. It is a good way for you to not get sidetracked by the other bullshit arguements.

Those are what I call "attractive rabbit holes". IAJ and DB as well as Buz and many others love creating attractive rabbit holes and once you enter you find yourself in Wonderland along with the small cakes that say "Eat Me".

Let me repeat for those who stuggle with such concepts: Logic is mainly used for the VALIDY OF ARGUMENTS - the inferences between conditions Logic is an abstract term we use to help us understand the real world. the real world or reality sets the parameters of what is or is not rational. while symbolic and mathmatical logic have their uses they are nontheless abstract concepts abstract words and concepts aside rational is initially obatined in what reality and the real word will allow Again, the real world allows us only two alternatives as to the explanation of existence. Any other explanation will fall within these two or be a combination of those two. now pay close attention. reality, not abstract ideas sets the parameters for what is rational. IOWs, reality is logic itself. It gives me the boundries and limitations of my applied reasoning, not the other way around So creationism is what reality will allow by the choices in that context. Since reality doesnt give us absolute proof of how things are here, it falls to a logical proposition of possibilites. those possibiltes have to mirror what is allowed by reality as you might guess the choices are limited from a physical and logical standpoint Your explanation of what logic is, is a single use of its purpose. its main use is defined by the physical world of reality
As you maintain from the outset a set condition (there IS a god) then you CANNOT invoke logic thereafter - it is pointless trying to make logic apply to situations where the initial conditions are merely ASSUMED. I really shouldn't need to tell you this twice! No one starts with the assumption of Gods existence. It is deduced from physical realites. Youve got it backwards
Written debate is superior in every one of those factors - have you nothing of your own to show here as an additive to those above? If not have the grace to concede! Instead of insisting I have nothing to offer, you need to actually respond to the actual arguments I have presented No one said written debates werent more exhaustive or comprehensive. Your implication was that creationist are able to use trickery in oral debates. Orcourse the is nonesense and stupidity of the highest order
How does one attempt a rebuttal of a pile of word-salad crap? Does it not make you think when so many people say you are less than lucid, that possibly a course on English grammar and content would be money well spent for you? I assume you would actually like people to understand you - then again you wouldn't be able to bask in a mish-mash of word salad would is this another way of saying you cant or wont make an attempt at a rebuttal. Give it an actual try and see how fun it can be please tell me your not another Dwise in the area of debate. In fairness dewise is an excellent writer and communicator. he really should publish stuff, he has a flare for it. In contrast he is less than qualified to debate philosophical ideas Dawn Bertot

Coyote writes: Creationism is a religious belief, not a "logical principle." Creation "science" was invented after creationism was banished by the courts. But creation "science" was itself shortly thereafter banished, as was it's stepchild, "intelligent design." All of these were disallowed because they are religion, not science. And still creationism is a religious belief in spite of these attempts to take on the trappings, and respect, relegated to science. Religious only implies that a higher power exists, being an intelligent designer. The term religion connotes beliefs relative to the designer/creator. Though the science of creationism research has a religious connotation, the evidence research regarding creationism and intelligent design, study of history, doing archeological research, etc so as to gather evidence data, substantiating the credibility of prophetic statements, cultures cited from the Bible, people, places and kingdoms, etc are all aspects of the science of creationism. These are not practicing religion perse. There are many logical aspects of creationism. ID more logically explains the order and complexity than the notion that chaos naturally emerged into order. That nearly all cultures of the world since the recording of history (abe: have been religious) is just one of many logical reasons to believe higher intelligences exist in the universe. Whether or not you believe Lennart Moller's marine research in Aqaba proved anything, he was not practicing his religion, what ever it be. He was doing science. No?

Whether or not you believe Lennart Moller's marine research in Aqaba proved anything, he was not practicing his religion, what ever it be. He was doing science. No? I did a search for information on Moller's claims. One website had the following (along with a couple of pictures):
I don't trust this at all. No reputable archaeologists comes back making fantastic claims about what he found and then shows pictures that may or may not be what he claims. Reputable archaeologists bring back the materials in question and conduct meticulous studies on them. Only when they can document their claims several times over do they publish! I would want to see measurements, to see if they matched Egyptian chariot wheels in size. I would want to see analysis of the wood and other materials. And metalurgical analyses. And radiocarbon dating (not sure what they were dating, and why they couldn't get dates). And multiple examples of those wheels, not just one. And most of all, not just a couple of vague pictures. You may want to accept the results because they agree with your biases, but real archaeology doesn't work that way. There is nothing that will send skeptics running faster than well-documented evidence. But why are all these claims you are making so poorly-documented?Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Coyote, you totally evaded all of my message. You did not address any of the pertinent points I made (abe regarding creationism doing science.)
(abe: Regarding the Mollar creation research, )I did not ask you about Ron Wyatt. My question was regarding renowned marine biologist Lennart Moller's science ship & crew and the research they did regarding the evidence they allege to be in the gulf. Was Lennart Moller and his crew practicing religion, doing this research or were they doing science which was intended to falsify/verify the evidence alleged to be in the area relative to the Biblical account of the Exodus event? (abe: You were trying to lead off topic, turning this into another Exodus debate. That is not where I'm going here. It's about the science/religion question. ) Edited by Buzsaw, : No reason given.
