Altar Boys and Cardinal Sins
Let me step in and edit you in the interest of the Spirit.©
Life Isn't AZ addressing Cardinal Dredge:
In your impossible ever to achieve perfection of knowledge you can't ever prove anything ... especially your god. Jesus Christ

But a preponderance of the evidence and the accuracy of our models informs us evolution is the reality. Everything else Jesus Christ is stupid religious fantasy.
Creationism vs. Evolution
quote:
Creationism or Intelligent Design is the belief that life and the universe were created by a supernatural being (an "intelligent designer"), an omnipotent, benevolent God. Evolution is the process by which different kinds of living organisms developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the Earth. The theory of evolution purports that life on earth evolved from one universal common ancestor about 3.8 billion years ago. It is a "theory" in the scientific sense of the word, which means it is supported by evidence and accepted as fact by the scientific community. The intelligent design hypothesis is not supported by evidence. Since 1929, the term “creationism” in the US has been associated with Christian fundamentalism, and specifically with a disbelief in evolution and a belief in a young earth.
Im testing to see whether or not AZPaul3's hatred of God and religion is warranted. Jesus Christ is the true symbol behind the church. Without Him, churches would become secular humanist do-gooders clubs. An adult form of the Boy(and Girl) Scouts.

Alien Intelligence Has Kidnapped ringo
ringo, replying to Dredge writes:
Demons are a fantasy.
I think one may have kidnapped ringo. I've not heard nary a word from him in over a week. Or perhaps he is just on a vacation.
Since this is a science topic, I won't elaborate on demons any further.

Junk In The Trunk
sensei,responding to Taq writes:
95% of your evidence is junk for sure.
This brings up a valid question. What is the methodology for deciding/determining or testing evidence? Is there a preconceived bias in the process or is the process simply done blindly, so as not to skew the results?

Re: Typical?
sensei writes:
If we were sharing a common ancestor with plants and insects, given the estimate that over hundreds of millions of generations have passed (or even more for many species with shorter life cycles), every base should have gone through several mutations already in the vast majority of individuals today.
It seems that we share too much DNA with such supposedly distant relatives, it does not really add up.
What is "it" supposed to add up to? Is there a number in mind?

Cult Of The Darwinoids:Topic Synopsis
There are a lot of science y things that I dont fully understand as I read through these arguments. Perhaps you can Dredge up some insight for me!
First of all, why do you call "them" Darwinoids? Charles Darwin was but one scientist who happened to originate a theory. He is hardly the Einstein or Edison of Biology! Am I wrong?
Dredge writes:
Satan will not allow the scientific world to take creationism and ID seriously.
Are you suggesting that ole Slew foot messes with peoples heads or are you suggesting that he mixes up the evidence?
Our very own dwise1 is one of the EvC members whom I respect and admire. He has a website where he has argued and investigated the claims of Creationists for 37 years. I dont agree with him on everything but I respect him because he respects us. He will take the time to write a detailed lengthy post filled with anecdotes from a life well lived. Furthermore, the God whom I believe exists (through the character of Jesus Christ) is present on this planet today. What many people (especially Authoritarian Catholics and Protestants) would find implausible is the idea that Jesus uses dwise1 to get us to think. God works in mysterious ways, Dredge.
Now...what were you saying about "Darwinoids"?
