Even if they could prove the theory of evolution wrong it gets them no closer to proving creation. I also don't know why they bother posting their objections to evolution on an atheist forum, go post your bad understanding of evolution on a biology forum. Reading the headline of this thread made my blood boil, if you have to ask if evolution is based on faith then you either are completely ignorant of how science works or you are trying to denigrate science in order to bring it down to the level of your unfounded faith based position of creation.
As I stated earlier, I am not trying to prove or disprove existence of God by using science. Science is a wrong address for the question of God. However, you guys are persistent to put evolution in place of God. In other words, you are trying to eliminate the idea of God using science, which is logically a fault. What I am trying here is to convey that Theory of evolution has ridiculous amount of flaws and all these flaws make this theory unscientific. Henceforth, using theory of evolution to eliminate the concept of God is nothing more than an absurd.
In what way is repeatedly telling you that whether evolution is true has nothing to do with whether or not God is real 'persistent to put evolution in place of God'?
I think most people who try to undermine the theory of evolution in the name of their God do more damage to the credibility of the idea of God than evolution ever could.
Thank you. Without people like you, the number of people who choose rational skepticism would likely not be rising so quickly. There's nothing like people illustrating the poverty of one side to help those on the fence realize the other side is the one where the less stupid people are.
Would you start posting on Atheistforums.com as well, please? You're needed in more places. I can never aspire to do as much for skepticism as you do.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
