Argument #2: Evolution Of Species

[Rampant.A.I.]

So, after having been told why Answers In Genesis is not a reliable, unbiased source, you link to a site that recommends AiG as a source?

Really?

Really?

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%

That's a bit skewed. There are creationist scientists, and if I remember correctly the guy who runs the Human Genome project is one.

There are also a lot of generically Christian scientists who accept evolution.

I can't believe I have to repost this, but:

An overwhelming majority of the scientific community accepts evolution as the dominant scientific theory of biological diversity.[1][2] Nearly every scientific society, representing hundreds of thousands of scientists, has issued statements rejecting intelligent design[2] and a petition supporting the teaching of evolutionary biology was endorsed by 72 US Nobel Prize winners.[3] Additionally, US courts have ruled in favor of teaching evolution in science classrooms, and against teaching creationism, in numerous cases such as Edwards v. Aguillard, Hendren v. Campbell, McLean v. Arkansas and Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District.

Don't conflate "Christian" with Young Earth Evolution Is A Lie And The Scientists Are All In On It -ism.

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.

According to skewed results from a study conducted under unknown circumstances by an organization no one's ever heard of.

Even listed in the article:

Dear Do-While Jones

I was interested to discover your web site at http://www.ScienceAgainstEvolution.org

You say: "The theory of evolution is not believed because of scientific evidence. It is believed DESPITE scientific evidence. Science is against the theory of evolution."

According to http://www.religioustolerance.org/ev_publi.htm, 95% of scientists (and over 98% of "life and earth scientists") in the US support the basic tenants of evolution. (A minority, like biochemist Michael Behe, claim there is evidence of an outside "designer").

You say: "We are a secular, non-profit corporation, not associated with any church. If you want answers about religious questions, ask a religious organization." But can you name one scientist who (a) is not a "Bible Literalist" and who (b) rejects evolution and supports the "young earth" hypothesis?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Also, here are the references for your article:

1 Ashton, In Six Days (1999) Page 284 (Cr+)

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!

Right. It's our fault an omnipotent, omniscient creator couldn't build better humans, and decided to punish us for his ineptitude like an alcoholic father with anger management issues.
