Does Darwinism Equal "No God"?

It might help if you said who these two leading evolutionists were upfront.*ABE* I see that it was James Watson and Edward O. Wilson, I would stil appreciate it if you put this in the OP as people won't neccessarily read admin comments once this becomes a thread.*/ABE*I don't see this really being suitable for 'Biological Evolution', how about putting it in 'Miscellaneous topics in Evolution/Creation'. I think that the first of your reasons might prejudice the thread into sliding off into a discussion of abiogenesis, similarly some of your other objections are merely the topics of a lot of extant threads.I think the essential question of whether Darwinism or modern evolutionary theory in anyway constitute some sort of disproof or contra indicatory evidence for the existence of God, or any intelligent designer, is a very valid one. At the moment however I think you have couched the central issue in unneccessary statements about random mutatons and abiogenesis.Could you remove this extraneous material and focus the OP a bit more clearly on the central issue of whether Evolutionary theory must be considerd to have a philosophical or metaphysical impact on the concept of god/God/ID.TTFN,AWThis message has been edited by AdminWounded, 15-Dec-2005 10:53 PM

I will promote this. I have my reservations since I have no idea what these two men actually said on TV, and I have heard dissenting opinions.I would once again ask you to try and focus on the central topic and not drag this thread off onto things which are already under discussion on other threads. If you wish to address evidence for abiogenesis or random mutations the appropriate threads are available for you to do so.TTFN,AW

Thread moved here from the Proposed New Topics forum.

This isn't even an off topic detour, this is simply a critique of the character of another member of the forum.If you want to address the topic please do so, if you don't then please find a thread where your post is suitable.TTFN,AW

Randman,Jar's religous beliefs are not at issue here. This is a pointless divergence from the topic at hand.This thread is already starting to drift into yet another semantic debate on the concept of 'random', please try and retain focus. It is your topic after all.TTFN,AW

This is a nice clear exposition of your views, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Darwinism or the theory of evolution.As you suggest this whole line of discussion would be more suitable for another thread.TTFN,AW

Do you really feel that this added to the debate in some way? Asking people for evidence to back up their claims should be part of any healthy debate, calling them names shouldn't.TTFN,AWThis message has been edited by AdminWounded, 19-Dec-2005 01:04 PM
