Intelligent theists do exist; however, based on your interaction here you cannot be counted among them.

My feelings are hurt.

What does any of this have to do with "Evolution of the Species"?

You guys have dismissed my argument so we now are on a tangent.

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.

Rev - how many times do you need to be told that the truth or otherwise is not decided by opinion? It doesn't matter what these scientists believe - what counts, all that counts, is what they can demonstrate. Nor is truth dependent on the authority of the person speaking it. Einstein was also a practising alchemist; does that mean that we should believe in the Philosopher's Stone too?

I'm also wondering what any of this has to do with your current "argument". You remember? The one you gave such a buildup to last week.

I'll give you this, though... you're fond of your red herrings.
Edit to accomodate late-breaking news:

You're actually conceding this?
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.'

Wait wait wait; this could be an important breakthrough. Rev altered his wording (presumably) to concede that his "argument" has been dismissed.

Either that or he's sulking.

Just a cogent topical response would be nice. Just one.

So Kerkut wasn't referring to the theory of evolution as commonly understood, which he contrasts as the "Special Theory of Evolution," but rather to an expanded, non-standard definition of his own which includes abiogenesis. So, your second argument is to quote mine and misrepresent the words of a scientist in a way that is dishonest and does not impact the standard definition of evolution in the slightest. That's fucking weak.
How about you do that, rather than ignore refutations of your "argument" and post one liners to the less direct criticism of you.

THat was addressed, I gave a link to it already.
