Then why do scientists say there is evidence for it? (Sep 17, 2012 | post #97767)

Out of curiosity, what would you consider a non-materialistic based science? (Sep 17, 2012 | post #102361)

Well, sure, excepting the fact that no one on the Evolution side finds abiogenesis discomforting or a threat. (Sep 17, 2012 | post #102360)

I think you are reading more into what was actually said. This isn't a case of a tired, stodgy scientific establishment barring new thoughts and new ideas. If actual, honest, scientific inquiry started poking holes and undermining the evidence for Evolution, scientists would be pretty excited about it. But instead they are just being inundated with the same refuted arguments over and over again from people with an agenda. The refusal of scientists to dignify these arguments is not due to close mindedness or fear of being wrong. And the support for Evolution is not due to some need for Evolution to be right. As for saying all the great discoveries have been made, I haven't seen anyone come close to making that argument. (Sep 15, 2012 | post #102178)

It is still universal in all cases where life exists. If life was discovered and there was no Evolution taking place then that would definitely be a good argument for saying Evolution is not universal. And that doesn't answer the question of Evolution attributing 'natural' causes. (Sep 15, 2012 | post #102177)

I am curious what you mean by the ToE attributes natural causes for evolution. As opposed to what? As for the last bit, evolution has been observed in 100% of instances where life exists, meaning Earth. Is it possible that there is life somewhere else in the universe where there is no evolution? Sure, I guess, but saying that life only being observed on Earth is a weakness of Evolution is a bit disingenuous. (Sep 14, 2012 | post #102154)

It was a line from Star Trek 4? (Sep 14, 2012 | post #102153)

You accept the information from experts all the time. Do you fully understand how everything in your life works? Your car, trains, planes, your watch, your computer? Do you need to fully understand medicine as well as a doctor before you will accept medical advice? We accept the information from experts that say Evolution is supported by evidence not out of blind devotion but because of two things: 1. They understand the information and facts far better then critics of Evolution do, and 2. They represent a wide variety of religious beliefs, philosophies, political affiliations and cultural backgrounds so have no incentive to agree to lie. (Sep 13, 2012 | post #45454)

In which post did you reply to me? That is why the quote function is so handy. You realize so far the only person who has thrown a temper tantrum is you. Although I am a bit insulted that you haven't called me a jew yet. Am I not worthy of the conspiracy? (Sep 12, 2012 | post #102056)

And this has what, exactly, to do with Evolution? (Sep 12, 2012 | post #45231)

So why are you wasting your time arguing here? If anyone else in the world had 1/10th the scientific insights, discoveries, inventions, etc. that you claim to they would not be sitting around arguing about them on Topix, they would be out getting patents, writing papers, presenting dissertations, recording informercials, starting businesses, lecturing. You are tolerated and coddled here mainly because your over the top trollishness and insanity is too amusing and fascinating to turn away from. (Sep 12, 2012 | post #102038)

So if we don't know 100% right now we should stop doing research altogether? What, exactly, are you advocating? (Sep 12, 2012 | post #45228)

If it exists in the natural world, then it is naturalism. There is absolutely nothing scientific that is not naturalistic. (Sep 12, 2012 | post #45227)

I am not sure what you mean. This isn't a discussion of Atheism vs Christianity, but Evolution vs Creationism. There is no conflict between believing in God, as these clergy certainly do, and accepting Evolution. (Sep 12, 2012 | post #45226)
