Evolution died when scientists discovered that many of the organisms (Darwin's finches, for example) were entirely different species and far apart on the hypothetical Evolutionary tree. But that hasn't stopped Atheistic scientists from pursuing a new version of the theory. They began drawing causal relations from an organism's genes instead. But there remains the biggest presupposition: that similarity implies causality.
Similarity does imply causality, at least at the level we've discovered. We've got the indisputable genetic data, but if you want more, there's the comprehensive fossil record charting the evolutionary lineage of organisms, and the instances of speciation we can observe under laboratory conditions. When you can literally watch evolution happening, your baseless denials kind of fall by the wayside, Undeceived.
Quote:I agree! God made science too. He made an entire natural world that we can explore. If one starts (presupposes) with the premise of the Bible's truth, they find that science does not contradict with Christianity either.
Except in all the places that it does. You just gave a great example of such, what with your shrill denials of the fact of evolution.
Oh, and why on earth would I presuppose the truth of the bible to begin with? Name one other concept or idea that you would feel justified in presupposing its accuracy.
