Re: There is no Theory of Creation

There is no Theory of Creation or Theory of Design .......
That's because it's so logical and matter of fact according to real life. What is designed and created does not require elitist complicated mathmatical and theoretical concocted assumptions to explain. It is how observed things complex in real life come to be; by planning and intelligently designed work.
Most of what we observe in (abe: here and now) real life tends towards chaos, decay, corrosion, extermination, non-complexity and disorder when void of intelligent design and management. Secularist minded science elitists tend to theorize their way around realism so as to avoid accountability to a higher power.

Dr Adequate writes:
Miracles are "matter of fact according to real life"?
Complexity and order allegedly effected by chance implicates miracle more than complexity by intelligently planned design . That's an observed real here and now observation.
Dr Adequate writes:
We have obviously lived very different lives. I find reproduction with variation a lot more matter of fact, 'cos of being able to observe it.
If you're referring to matter of fact micro-evolution, the intelligent designer had that in mind when designing life forms.
Dr Adequate writes:
From which we deduce that gravity was not designed and created, since it does.
Yes, but the concocted theory involves the debatable topic of the properties of space. There's yet a lot of questionable mystery involved in the secularist explanation of gravity for which there is no empirical model.

We have obviously been observing very different things. I've been observing the real world.
You haven't observed that everything made in the here and now (I say here and now) world around us required intelligent planning and requires preservation management? Are you a blind deaf-mute, by any chance?

Actually it's barely an English sentence.
When you have given some evidence that this "intelligent designer" exists and that you can read his mind, I shall take this assertion more seriously.
Are you suggesting that a better understanding of it would involve no theory and no equations? Otherwise this waffle hardly answers my point.
No, and I also haven't spotted any flying pigs.
That's not actually why I don't suffer from audio-visual hallucinations, no.
Dr Adequate, the only reason for bringing forth your responses to my pertinent points is to ask why you even bothered to respond and whether you have something besides substanceless yada to say supportive of your positions.

ICR would probably tend to agree with you, and this anti-science attitude combined with appeals to a higher power were probably significant contributors to Texas's decision to deny ICR accreditation

Re: Creation Science
Coyote, my point was intended to refer to things designed in the here and now. Your examples no more refute my point intended than if you gave examples of animals etc.
New things made showing design which have not existed in the past are all indicative that complex things are designed, made and managed by intelligent design. They tend toward disorder and disintegration if not intelligently managed and maintained.
ICR's version of science should not be subject to what the government of Texas considers to be suitable for accreditation.

Hi, Buz.
It looks like your list is just a bunch of technical papers never published anywhere but the ICR site.
Is that right?
My understanding is that all involve ICR research. They are examples of what ICR teaches in their graduate school as well. Not cited on my list of examples, if you access the link and read the whole list are papers on both Mt St Helens and the Grand Canyon. I have videos of both from ICR showing their on site scientific research.
Please cite evidence if you think I'm mistaken.

Are you opposed to all accreditation of schools?
I expect some fairnes and balance. As usual secularists insist on their majority bully pulpit science to be exclusively allowed for accreditation. The peer reviews have the same attitude towards what is considered science. None other need apply.

Re: ICR Science
"Secularist minded science elitists?" "Higher power?" Those are clear expressions of an anti-science attitude.
The above (abe: does not reflect non-science. ) It (abe: aludes to two science premises; the secularistic scientific interpretive mindset and the creationist "higher power" interpretive mindset; interpretive relating to how researched observations are interpreted.
For example, in the Grand Canyon video which I acquired from ICR, floodist interpretations are expained as on site researchers show on site layering and explain their floodist interpretations of what those sediment layers tell us.

Re: Creation Science
Coyote writes:
Now Buz, do you see any resemblance to science in this? I don't. What I see is overriding dogma, which will not permit any scientific evidence to the contrary. They have no interest in science, nor are they willing to follow it's methods because it's findings contradict their beliefs.
So don't pretend what the ICR, and those who follow in it's footsteps, does is science.
Though I wouldn't agree to some of what you cited, I see it all as relative to from which science hypothetical premise one interprets scientific research.
For one thing, the non-floodist premise assumes a more relatively recent uniformitarian planet and atmosphere than the floodist premise assumes in scientific research interpretations.

Re: ICR Science
Percy writes:
In reality there's only one kind of science. It employs observations, experiment and the scientific method to develop an ever improving understanding of the natural universe. If ICR wants accreditation from Texas then they must begin teaching this kind of science.
Are you alleging that ICR does not do observation research, experiment and has no science methodology to develop an ever improving understand of the universe?
Why must creationist ID scholastically accredited scientists conform to a naturalist only form of science in order to be considered for creditaion?
Admittedly, accreditation to ID institutions will limit the graduates in finding jobs, but there are a number of employers who would rather hire ID scientists and educators over secularist evolutionist ones.
Why can't Texas allow creditation based on the science premises of both naturalistic and ID science premises so long as they meet reasonable academic standards?
Admittedly also, I would be very surprised if ICR wins the law suit.

Exactly. ICR cannot do science as long as the begin with an assumption that the Bible is factually correct.
LOL. Secularists define science very narrowly so as to accomodate their own science agenda and disqualify alternative premises from which alternative scientists postulate.

It's alternative sciences that need be left alone and recognized as an alternative real science by definition, in that real accredited scientists subsribe to it, albeit that it is from the ID premise, ID having some supportive aspects.
This IDist premise vs naturalistic premise debate has not been won yet by either side, though you non-IDists would like to think and act as if it was.

Basic science premises vary according to how evidences are interpreted. Premises are hypothetical prerequisites to research.

The "alternative" science you are referring to is the opposite of real science. It starts out with a conclusion and seeks only evidence that supports that conclusion, ignoring, misrepresenting, or denying any evidence that contradicts it. This is called creation "science" and it differs from religious apologetics in name only.
Coyote writes:
Some premises lead to discoveries, others seek only to support certain a priori beliefs.
Again, ID supportive discoveries such as the Nuweiba Aqaba Exodus evidence is simply waived off by secularist members here and by secularist marine researchers like Robert Ballard who has yet, so far as I am aware, to even research the site.
