At work.


I think I see the problem.

MadJW is asking a 'simple' question such as "Why is the sky blue?" or "Why does the ball/pen fall" which, of course actually have quite indepth, complicated and technical details to answer fully/correctly. (As in refracfion and the properties of photons for one and the aspect of bending space/time for the other)

Plus there's the aspect that MadJW only seems to pick the replies to which they can be most combative towards.

Both of these things make interacting with MadJW quite the chore.

Still, I've offered twice now to engage.

We'll see how things progress. Third time is the charm.

Well, we are, as the belief that life was created is a religious belief.  Still, it was a religious belief that the world was going to end, multiple times...so it's not beyond jws to revise their religious beliefs.  I just wonder why that never gets applied to this religious belief.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Is religion the only thing you want to discuss?

Not as far as I can tell. You appear to have two religious beliefs about creation.

One being that science supports it - but, paradoxically, the other being that science currently states (and the only alternative to a creator is) blind chance.

Neither belief is true. The current understanding is that determinative and replicable processes of organic chemistry produce variations within a breeding population which effect the rates of survival of some portion of that population. Where people misunderstand this as random is that it's demonstrably true that mutations occur without respect for the value of a given trait which may be conferred by the same - ie..at random. Does that clear anything up for you?

Not talking about mutations- but how life was CREATED or by ACCIDENT.

Then tell us about your science. What science principles would you like to discuss? What science fields? What science facts? What science theories?

Or is it more likely that you want to discuss the evils of scientism?

I doubt you have the ability to do any of these things coherently.

So far as a troll I give 1/10. Not interesting in the least. Not funny. Not worth bothering with.

One of the most boring trolls ever. :yawn:

MadJW, if you want to talk about science, let's talk credentials.  Mine:
  • Come from a family of scientists (electronic engineering, genetics/microbiology/immunology)
  • Formal studies in biology, physics and chemistry
  • Citizen scientist astronomer
  • Nearly 20 years as a medical professional
What do you bring to the table?
