Quote:Ten years ago people who believe in creation would have turned red in the face in flat out refusal of that part you accept above. What's the point? That the creation theory has attempted to ignore and deny every part of evolution including the age of the earth. Over time, the less moronic believers have been forced to accept those parts which are absolutely provable. What's the end result? The whole thing will be accepted and it will just become "the plan" of the design. That's fine if you need to put a name to things for whatever reason but that will be the end result, IMO

 

Saying that scientific extrapolation requires faith in the same manner as intelligent design is an insult to the scientific process. It's no different than misusing the word theory in a scientific sense. Totally different kinds of faith. 

 

So wait a minute....  let me get this straight.  Eric85 rightly pointed out to you that there is little to no evidence to support your extrapolation (the idea that species morph or evolve into other isolated species over time "macro evolution") and your response is to blindly insult people who disagree with you, name call, and top it all off you blatantly  fundamentally and falsely categorize creation theory?  And you're the person who wants to be in charge of the way information is disseminated in schools?

 

Before we go any further, there have been people of faith in all of the scientific disciplines before James Darwin was thought about and long after he died.  To fundamentally label everyone who sees providence in a blade of grass as some wacked out flat earther is both insulting and WRONG.  For whatever reason in this strand of conversation its the people most ardently espousing adherence to proven scientific evidence and reason that are the first to resort to name calling and snarky remarks.  Why I don't know but frankly, I expect better!  

 

You still have yet to acknowledge the simple fact that in reality, evolution is not the opposite of creation.  I have yet to make any case supporting the field of abiogenesis which is essential to any belief in a universe devoid of a creator.  If you have an opinion or evidence that you would like to bring to the conversation i welcome it with open arms, but i would politely ask that you keep the insults and the backhanded compliments to yourself.
