Re: More confusion!
I simply said more scientists are questioning Neo-Darwinism.
You can assert until you are blue in the face, but until you provide some sort of facts to back it up it is still just an assertion.
Now are you just going to make wild ass claims or provide some evidence?

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Re: Why so hostile?
That is if you ignore the critics!
Please show us the critics so we can determine if they are in fact critics. Just because you say there are does not mean that they in fact are. You could be misunderstanding them or you could be misrepresenting them. We can never know if you do not tell us who these critics are.

Re: Why so hostile?
Ok. A piss poor start, but a start nonetheless. Now, tell us who they are, what their academic credentials are and what they have written that refutes Evolutionary Theory.

Re: Why so hostile?
Found this on Bosanquet
quote:
There is a Dr. Andrew Bosanquet at an institute called Bath Cancer Research, associated with Royal United Hospital in Bath in the UK. I can not be sure this is the same person as in the list. This person has published over 80 papers in the scientific literature.
I have looked at the titles of all the papers, and read the abstracts of the ones that might possibly be evolution-related. None of them seem to indicate a creationist outlook. At least one paper reports on an evolutionary topic (the aquisition of resistance to cancer treatments via mutation-inducing drugs).
This is the usual result, as I have found it. This person does not appear to be a creationist in terms of his actual scientific work. I don't know how he came to be on that list. I don't know if he knows he's on the list, or whether he approves of it. I don't know what his personal beliefs may be when he is not acting as a scientist.
But he fails, completely, in terms of being a "creation scientist".

My gut feeling is that Kimberly Berrine does not exist. There may have been someone with a similar name with some sort of a scientific degree, but I doubt it was a person by this name.

Re: Why so hostile?
Word games, my friend!
YOur lack of self awareness is utterly amazing.
When you you graduate with an education degree you are not qualified to be a teacher, you are a teacher, you are qualified to teach!
You are not allowed to make up your own definitions. I have a degree in History but have never been employed in that. So does that make me a Historian. Someone that has a law degree but never passed the bar is a lawyer? You do know that an M.D. that has never practiced would not be given any rights and privileges of a trained and practicing M.D don't you.
It is amazing how you are willing to twist and manipulate facts, words and whatever in order to seem like what you ahve to say actually has any basis in reality.

Faith knows THE TRUTH
Not sure why anyone is bothering to discuss this with Faith. Faith has an indisputable answer to all.
Godidit!

Re: PRATT: The Bunny Blunder Strikes Again!
Bullshit. It reflects on the whole quality of the argument. If the debater is that sloppy with grammar they are probably with the rest of their argument. As shown by the crap this joker is trying to pass off.
