    [/B].


    There is no ban on any type of evidence being presented.

    But, when a claim such as a God is argued, the court or the scientific method will demand that that claim meet it's burden of proof. It's had thousands of years to do so. Yet never has. And it never will.

    I like you posted a clip of "expelled".. A Bein Stein creation I think. What a fool that fella is.

    At the end of the day. Science is able to produce real life applications that improve human life on an on-going basis.

    Please let me know what application ID has led to or is currently working on ?

    I already know the answer, but please let me know what scientific applications ID is currently working on that will lead to a real life application that can benefit people in the future.

    Which is any different than God creating himself how? you can't use the nothing can come from nothing argument then have a god who appeared from nothing.

    Without the bible ID falls apart, you know this, you just won't admit it.

    Evolution claims absolutely nothing about the origin of the universe or life. Are you sure you're a qualified scientist?

    JC is as much of a scientist as I am, none at all. At this point it's plain as day he's just a fruit loop and a liar, it just keeps getting funnier though.

    Plenty of scientists are religious FFS. Again, you have no idea what you're talking about.
    They may be religious ... but they are operating under rules that limit science to the search for natural causes to explain natural phenomena.

    Science therefore must be Atheistic under its own rules, to the point of denying overwhelming evidence for the action of God ... and there is an outright ban on any research and its publication, where the research is into the evidence for the supernatural origin of life - even though all logic and physical evidence is pointing in the direction of God.

    ... Science is a 'creature of Atheism' when it comes to investigation our 'origins' and anything it says about Evolution, Abiogenesis or the origins of the Universe needs to be tempered by this reality.

    ... and 93% of the National Academy of Science are reputedly Atheists ... which means that anything that this 'august body' may say about 'origins' science research needs to be tempered by this reality as well.

    For the third time, what "logical and physical evidence"? feel free to keep ignoring me but honestly I can ask all day because...well thats what Sundays are for, slating unfounded claims of the existence of anthropomorphic personifications and all the psudo-science related to said ridiculous claims.

    You just counter argued yourself there, equally ID must be based on the bible by it's own rules, as the science behind it doesn't add up without it. (well it doesn't add up either way but still).

    Do you think all evolutionary scientists are just out to get people like yourself and Dembski? or are they merely using proper science not pseudo guff to prove their theories. There was a good show about Creationism on BBC a while back where they put in simpletons terms (for the Creationists) why Creationism just simply doesn't make sense. I realise deep down you know it too but just don't want to back down from something you've spent years arguing for but hey



    The bit at 8.30 is priceless, geologist states flood water simply couldn't have caused the Grand Canyon. Norn Iron idiot Creationist asks if he's ever read any Creationist literature "Oh I've read them but I don't count them as scientists" Norn Iron idiot looks like he's just found out there's no Santa :pac:

    I'm a fully qualified conventional scientist ... but, as I'm not an atheist, and I no longer believe that life had a natural cause, this disqualifies me from doing 'origins' research within conventional science ... so myself and my fellow Creation Scientists and ID Proponents do our research of necessity outside of conventional science.
    It has the full status of conventional 'origins' research' ... just with the Atheist-bias removed.:)

    ... and the fact that you (and practically every other Evolutionist poster on this thread) thinks that name-calling qualifies as evidence that I am wrong and you are right says something very profound about the intellectual bankruptcy of Evolutionism.
    If evolution was valid then surely the evidence would be presented every time it's validity is challenged ... and not just handwaving and name-calling.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,615 ✭✭✭✭J C


    Why do you keep harping on about abiogenesis and the origin of the universe in a thread about evolution?
    Evolution and Abiogenesis are both part of the Atheist ... and, surprise, surprise ... the conventional science explanation for the origins of life and its diversity.

    Yet you won't post your credentials, if you're not doing any research within the confines of conventional science your job isn't at risk. More lies.

    There's no atheist bias in science, something is either a fact or it isn't the lack of a belief of a god or gods has nothing to do with gravity or physics or any other measurable basic scientific principle.
    There is Christian bias in Creationism, failure to see that makes you look pretty stupid. No bible, no Creationism. It's that simple.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,335 ✭✭✭Saganist


    Again with the strawman. Evolution=/=atheism=/=an explanation of the origins of life.

    Evolution is a theory that explains how life changes over time.

    Atheism is simply the lack of belief in a god.

    The two are not connected. Compatible, yes, but not interlinked.

    I think we could tell him that till the end of time and he'll still say it is.

    It's a case of putting fingers in ears and going *la la la la la, I can't hear you*

    If thats the case then any theories or research you put forward will be flawed and, more importantly, utter rubbish. If you had any decency you'd go into whatever organization you work for tomorrow and just submit a piece of paper with the words "A Wizard did it" on it and save them some money that they could give to a real scientist.

    Firstly, the 'Norn Iron Idiot' as you so outrageously refer to him, is a qualified Barrister ... so I would go easy on such unfounded prejudicial statements about an identifiable individual, if I were you.

    Secondly, the fact that Phil recognizes and respects the geologist as a qualified geologist ... but the geologist doesn't recognize other equally and conventionally qualified geologists, simply because they are Creationists say that the Atheist dominance of science has gone too far.

    You're just being a small minded twat now.

    I've seen the documentary, Phil comes across as a really dishonest person during the course of the trip. I could care less that he's a Barrister, doesn't take away the from the fact that he comes across as a closed minded fool.

    There is no way that the Grand Canyon could have been caused by a "Flood". The geologist explains that, Phil disagrees, then puts forward his "scientists" to which the geologist says that he's listened to them, but doesn't class what they do as science.

    Why ?

    Because it's not science. Simple as that.

    Mmm, no, the geologist doesnt recognise them because they're not proper geologists, anyone who takes a basic principle like how flood water acts i.e something that can be measured and viewed, and then tries to explain that god just made it act differently that one time, isn't a scientist.

    Again you're more preoccupied with hand wringing and crybaby antics than addressing any points, you're a joke.

    That guy Phil is a notorious windbag, I wouldn't put it past you knowing him in real life either :pac: Not sure what him being a barrister has to do with anything?

    You can claim there's an Atheist dominance to science if you want, it just makes you look even more pathetic than you currently do, since you wont back up ANYTHING you say.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 264 ✭✭Squeedily Spooch


    Exactly, these people seem to think you can just walk around saying 'I'm a scientist' as if that has any kind of weight to it.

    One time I had a science kit and nearly set fire to my mother's carpet. I'm a scientist.

    The killing and the general denial of Human Rights all happened in the name of atheism (and ironically also in the name of 'Reason' and the 'Rights of Man') in the French Revolution ... and the blood-letting reached it's peak with the Atheistic Communists of the 20th Century as they tried to the build a world without God or religion.
    They literally killed people to 'free' society from religion ... while gleefully ignoring the fact that they held an equally human-invented idea that there is no God. They also destroyed churches or turned them into 'Museums of Atheism'. This cathedral in Eastern Europe that was taken over and turned into a Museum ... and it is now back in use as a church, after the fall of Communism
    https://www.flickr.com/photos/norfolkodyssey/376765112/

    Quote:-
    "The former Soviet Museum of Scientific Atheism, better known as St Isaac's Cathedral in St Petersburg, photographed in December, 1985. Internally, it is the second biggest cathedral in the world.

    Under Stalin in the 1930s, by which time the city had been renamed Leningrad, the building was cleared of all religious clutter and turned into a Museum of Scientific Atheism. Exhibits included a pendulum which proved the rotation of the earth.

    Stalin's enthusiasm for Scientific Atheism led to the regime treating faith and belief in God as a form of mental illness. Anyone who was openly Christian had their path to promotion at work blocked, and many professions closed to them.

    Thousands of people who stubbornly persisted in the Christian faith were treated as delusional, and found themselves carted off to special hospitals for treatment and re-education. Many of these people ended up in the gulags, a system of concentration camps, many in northern Siberia, where millions of people met their deaths.

    Scientific Atheism also promoted the idea that bringing up your kids in the Christian tradition was a form of child abuse. Inevitably, many children of militant Christians were taken into care by the State, to be brought up in vast orphanages."


    When you guys make unfounded assertions of 'delusion' and 'mental illness' against Christians, ye are following in very ignoble, evil and sinister 'foot-steps' indeed.

    This church wasn't as lucky ... and was destroyed by the Atheistic Communists in a fit of wanton destruction and barbarism that beggars belief:-



    I fully accept that all beliefs are open to challenge ... whilst respecting the person who holds the belief.

    Any belief system, and scientism is a belief system, can fall into the error, just like any other belief system.
    Creation Science believes that it has evidence for the truth that God Created the Universe and all life ... Evolutionists believe that it created itself.
    ... and could you please make even one point without resorting to unfounded name-calling.


    I have posted the basis for ID ... it is scientifically based and logically sound ... and nobody has yet successfully and part of it ... so I'm quite entitled to publish it as the truth.

    You have to stop repeating yourself in the hope that the things you say become true, its almost a sickness that you have.

    You have not posted anything as the basis for ID, ever, at all.

    And also, evolutionists don't claim to know how life began, thats not what evolution is the study of. So this again calls into question your "qualifications".

    You are also very quick to just reference Communism under stalin, so let Hitchens sort that out for you, and you can rest your little head easy.
    Stalin—easier still. For hundreds of years, millions of Russians had been told the head of state should be a man close to God, the czar, who was head of the Russian Orthodox Church as well as absolute despot. If you’re Stalin, you shouldn’t be in the dictatorship business if you can’t exploit the pool of servility and docility that’s ready-made for you. The task of atheists is to raise people above that level of servility and credulity. No society has gone the way of gulags or concentration camps by following the path of Spinoza and Einstein and Jefferson and Thomas Paine.

    So science has bizarrely excluded itself from being able to objectively evaluate the evidence for Direct Creation ... and has 'hitched its wagon' firmly to Abiogenesis, Spontaneous Evolution and any other idea that is acceptable to Practical Atheists ... and only ideas that are acceptable to them.

    The point is that Stalin referred to Christians as 'deluded' and 'insane' ... words that are routinely used by you guys on this forum about me and my fellow Christians ... and this led to the enslavement and death of millions of people under Stalin's evil empire.

    Spinoza and Einstein and Jefferson and Thomas Paine never used such words ... and that is why you guys seem to be heading in a Stalinist direction ... rather than a Jeffersonian one.:(

    The study of theology, as it stands in the Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles; it proceeds by no authority; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing; and it admits of no conclusion.

    Yes. Science is the search for evidence. Creationism is trying to explain things by ignoring evidence.

    And why the fcuk have you capitalised practical atheists?

    And what the fcuk is a practical atheist? Is there any other type?

    And who wants practicality anyway?

    We. Are. Not. Discussing. Origins. We. Are. Discussing. Evolution.

    They. Are. Not. The. Same. Thing.
    You may nit-pick all you like ... but Evolution and Abiogenesis are both part of a continuum from non-life to life to Human life that Atheists and their Atheist-dominated science presents as fact.
    The hilarity of a creationist criticising anyone for being hitched to a certain belief system is just amazing though.

    People of all faiths and none can see the evidence for evolution.
    If they can why is there a ban within science, limiting it to the search for natural causes to explain natural phenomena?
    Only those with a very specific belief system can see the 'evidence' for evolution.

    There is only one conclusion a rational person could come to based on that.
    Why is there a ban within science, limiting it to the search for natural causes to explain natural phenomena?
