Those statements are not even remotely supportable.

If the mods want to get rid of me under the guise of "30/30", I guess my original statement is INCORRECT!

Knows all about 30/30, doesn't follow it. I'm calling it

Don't look now but I think I've found a sinner.

As if they are gonna chooses of the the world's many Gods!

They don't whisk away a creator. They just find no evidential reason to include one.

Before it can be said that scientists whisk away a creator, those that posit a creator have to be able to justify their claims that a creator is even a viable candidate explanation in the first place.

Propositions with no: demonstrable, falsifiable, and verifiable evidence, and no valid and sound logic to support, have no reason to be considered in science at all.

It's not the fault of science that theists continue to fail to support their claims, and god seems to be playing the longest running game of hide and seek, ever.

When you see a Tinkertoy (do they still EXIST?) construction do you say that it was Evolution (Blind Chance) that made it?

How condescending of you.

Have you taken your medication today?

As I stated before. You show a distinct lack of understanding about the topic of evolution.

Not to wory. We can work through the problem.

Cheers.

Not at work.

Refusal to answer a simple question, and then denial. Ho-hum.

First of all, the biodiversity on earth is not a product of blind chance. Evolution by the way of natural SELECTION. Notice the word "selection"? Selection is pretty much the opposite of blind chance.


Second, your entire "argument" is what is known as an "argument from ignorance" or, maybe more specifically, "argument from personal incredulity". Just because you are unable to come up with how evolution functions, does not mean that others are unable to. Your lack of knowledge, does not make our 'god did it' proposition any more credible.

Once again, please justify why a god is a candidate explanation, with demonstrable and falsifiable evidence.

Because as it is, all you are saying is, "magic did it".

When I see a tinker toy, I assume a person made it.  If I run forensic tests, I can identify and locate the person.

I find it quite strange that when you understand something, there is ALWAYS one that tells you DON'T....and that they fail to tell you why...

Of COURSE I did. Now YOU notice the word.
What does it take to "select"?
