Argument #2: Evolution Of Species
RE: Argument #2: Evolution Of Species
Really? What about those endogenous retroviral insertions that you claim to have already addressed?

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?

I am doing some online research and am excited because I came across a book that has 50 scientists that chose to believe in creation. I have not read this book but I want to order it. I know that this doesn't prove anything but you all threw me under the bus for quoting someone from the 1950's. So to me I am excited that there indeed are modern day scientists who side with the Creator.

TrueOrigin.org Exposing the Myth of Evolution Wrote:Bibliographies

Two concise, but thorough, creationary bibliographies exist, from Eric Blievernicht and Henry Morris, Ph.D., respectively. Below is a representative—but by no means exhaustive—list of recommended suggestions for further reading, most of which can be purchased in the U.S. through the Creation Research Society, the Institute for Creation Research, and Answers in Genesis—the last of which also trades on a nearly worldwide basis:

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?

This is your problem Rev. You are not researching with the intention of understanding evolution, you are simply running around looking for anything that will support a conclusion you have arrived at for reasons that have nothing to do with the facts or explanatory science. What you call research, the rest of the world calls confirmation bias.

You haven't even shown that there is a baby yet. You just keep asserting it.
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.'

This particular baby was stillborn and has long since been buried.

So far it looks more like a phantom pregnancy to me.

Is it ok for me to copy and paste sections from the website?
