I have faith in God's Word and what He say is truth. Perhaps you never have seen a subatomic particle but you have faith that they are real. So you see, we both have faith.
As a matter of fact I have seen subatomic particles. Such is the danger of assumption. So you see, one of has faith in things with zero evidence.
As for "God's Word", could you expand on what you mean by that?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Indeed x2. If Rev - or anyone - can offer any evidence for their god even a fraction as demonstrable as Brownian Motion, there would be no need for atheists.

This critiques your stance on this, I believe game is still in progress.

Because, in the end, all they can do is repeat and cite the same nonsense.

Interesting that the Rev hasn't bother to respond to my post or that of Brian Boru, and if he ever does, it will be this one, and he'll insist that we repeat ourselves because he can't be bother to go looking for our previous posts.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!

You guys are obviously making sport of me instead of addressing my argument.
Making sport?
Perhaps.
I prefer to view creationists as chew-toys. They squeak a lot and then get ripped to pieces.

At least he responded to the .gif in my post. Maybe we should switch to communicating in pictures.

I found something interesting that I would like to share with my skeptical atheist friends -
1997-NOV data is little changed. Note the massive differences between the beliefs of the general population and of scientists:
Group Creation Theistic Evolution Evolution
Everyone 44% 39% 10%
Scientists 5% 40% 55%
http://www.ridgecrest.ca.us/~do_while/sage/v5i10f.htm
So you see that there are scientists who do believe in creation. Also, note that the general public only 10% believe in evolution without God's intervention. If you visit this website they also have a list of scientists who embrace creation. This is wonderful news.

Do some basic biology courses into human anatomy and see why the designer was incompetent.
He hath done all things well. Unfortunately, the destructiveness of sin has tainted His once perfect creation. So He sent a Savior!

And very few of those "scientists" will be evolutionary biologists.
And, as previously stated, science doesn't depend on numbers to be factual.
Going back, once the majority of Europeans thought the world was flat. They were wrong, too.
And I would suggest you google "Project Steve".
