the question the theist needs to consider is where does the ignorance about human development lie? does it lie with the conclusions of generations of the finest minds of science after looking at hundreds of years of evidence or does it lie with the theist who uses a book of primitive tales by men who thought thunder and lightening were gods speaking as his guide?
These statements are reminiscent of the man made global warming fraud wherein we are told that "the debate is over", "there is a scientific consensus" and other such laughers. What they really mean to say is that "we don't recognize any evidence that contradicts our dogma". Many eminent chemists and mathematicians have examined the chance of a spontaneous generation of life and have concluded that it is impossible. And guess what. They used scientific means to come to their conclusions. I mean really, folks. How can you be expected to be believed on anything at all, even what day it is, if you are going to tell such whoppers.
There is no direct comparison between the global warming fraud & evolution. There are mountains of corroborating evidence supporting evolution and MOST scientists that matter, believe in the basics (they're debating small details) concerning evolution. Global warming (caused by man) is not supported by facts and certainly not supported by MOST scientists that matter.
If you could point me to just one piece of substantial evidence, that could disprove evolution, such as a human skull dating back to the same time as the dinosaurs, I'd like to see it.
creationists are a clueless bunch. they have a museum in kentucky that tries to prove that man and dinosaurs lived together and that there was once a global flood and the earth is only 6000 years old. the problem is that the museum is built on a geologic formation that falsifies the very thing they claim. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezQhVjGy6ME
You don't have to believe in the biblical god to believe in after life... One can look at the bible as nonsense yet still believe in a philosophical existence afterwards...
Very well put............Darwinian dogma.........in fact Macro-Evolution has what can only be described as its own "Systematic Theology", complete with high priests and traveling preachers.........why the adherents won't admit this is beyond me.
there has never been a shred of evidence found that points toward a supernatural aspect in the evolution of man. bible thumpers expect trained scientists to believe their primitive tales without ever taking the first step in actually presenting any kind of evidence to back up their claims. if you want your primitive superstitions accepted in the educated world you first have to formulate a theory and present evidence that backs up your claims to peer review. why do you think that has never been tried? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TkY7HrJOhc
Here we are, the 21st century. It is absolutely shocking that a great many people still don't even know the most basic facts about how all life evolved on this planet. Some have been kept in the dark through no fault of their own, but for anyone with access to libraries or the internet, it is just sheer ignorance and simply shameful to not educate yourself on a topic of such importance.
its called willfull ignorance. they will themselves to not believe anything that does not agree with their book of primitive myths. "if conclusions contradict the word of God, the conclusions are wrong no matter how many scientific facts may appear to back them."statement from a biology textbook printed by conservative Christian publisher Bob Jones University Press
