Did man get here by evolution or by creation???

Did man get here by evolution or by creation???
The title of the thread is in fact a book, published in 1967. A small blue book 'refuting' evolution.
I began to read it and to my dismay, creationists arguements have not evolved at all! They are the same from 40 years ago! Should we expect any different? After all, they oppose evolution. If their arguements had evolved, they would be hypocrites! However, most creationists do believe in micro evolution and one can see they have micro evolved. From little blue books in the 60s to cool flash websites like Answers in Genesis...
Anyways, my point is, until, if ever, creationists have any convincing scientific arguements, all threads contending evolution should not be classified as science or in this part of the forum!
Its ok to have doubt, just dont let that doubt become the answers.

You dont hate God, you hate the church game.

"God is not what you imagine or what you think you understand. If you understand you have failed." Saint Augustine

Your mind works very simply: you are either trying to find out what are God's laws in order to follow them; or you are trying to outsmart Him. -Martin H. Fischer

Hey, taking in consideration the amount of sheep that propagate such nonsense, it strikes no surprise to me!

I think you'll find many of the arguments have been used since Darwin's time. Most noticeably,the teleological argument. (argument from design)

I wonder which one is stronger, the spam hammer or the ban hammer?
Quote:"I think it's perfectly possible to explain how the universe came about without bringing God into it, but I don't know everything, and there may well be a God somewhere, hiding away. Actually, if he is keeping out of sight, it's because he's ashamed of his followers and all the cruelty and ignorance they're responsible for promoting in his name. If I were him, I'd want nothing to do with them."

LOL I actually have this book, I found it in my grandma's house. It certainly gave me a good laugh, but I was sad to think that the majority of people in the world don't have the science background to see past the weak arguments within in. People are still swallowing creationism today, after all. It doesn't seem to require new, evolved, better arguments, just an uneducated audience.

Of course the arguments haven't changed. Because these people generally don't care whether or not what they're saying is actually true, as long as it supports their warped worldview; so it doesn't matter how often their arguments are refuted, they'll just keep on recycling them.

I'ts even worse when they quote mine reputable scientists to make it appear that they are denying Evolution when they are in fact doing no such thing.

And the cretinist audience just swallows the lies whole and without question.

The Micro/Macro thing is a misnoma, there is no difference. It's one of those things like "kind" that have no scientific basis or working definition.

It's no surprise that their arguments are just as bad, evolution is just as much of a fact.
