Thank you, Captain Obvious. Yes, anything that alludes to the rational premise of intelligent design is censored. That is the central theme of the presentation. Do you honestly think Academia is going to allow a divine foot in the door, regardless of data? Naturalism is the dominating philosophy and religion. Like Meyers stated, the logical inferences he and others are using, are exactly the same inferring Darwin himself used to usher in the era of evolutionary thinking. Another thing Meyers points out is the heuristic value of intelligent design. Whereas Evolutionists will commonly view the world of Genetics through the lens of randomness and purposelessness, an ID proponent will seek out function where it is not apparent. That's why ID proponents were not surprised to learn recently of the major functionality reported in over 70% of the human genome that was once thought to be of little importance in the Evolutionist paradigm of unguided mutations. |

I never claimed to be able to explain every facet of the creation process. Fortunately a "theory" like darwinian evolution can be demolished based on its own lack of merit. Supporting a replacement theory is not a prerequisite. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6732037 [link to www.youtube.com] Kent Hovind is great. He was the one who originally inspired me to question evolutionary dogma. Lo and behold, on further examination, there is not a shred of hard evidence to support Darwinian Evolution. They've been going off total assumption and speculation this entire time and passing it off to the public as irrefutable truth. What we are truly faced with is a very rigid and blind faith in Naturalism. They can not let the evolutionary paradigm go because their whole world will fall apart. |

Master X User ID: 25055203 United Kingdom 10/06/2012 04:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | While not against some sort of creation theory (either by aliens of a higher entity god type thing) i don't agree with what I've read so far. BIRDS. Well first of all, the dinosaurs into birds is easy. It started with those forest dinos which actually had feathers (as quite a lot now turn out to have) using the ability to GLIDE from tree to tree. All it takes is a shift in environment such as less trees with a farther distance between them to cause the dinos to start mating for with those with the best ability to glide/jump and so on and so on... Eventually one is strong enough to flap. Variety? Most birds are probably descended from just one dinosaur species like this, then the same thing happened to these birds; as they spread out they changed/adapted to their individual environments. Then those spread out, further changing and so on until you got the massive variety. Haven't tests been done on eggs where they've got embryos in bird eggs to revert and grow tails...? I'm sure this was in New Scientist. |

This fish will swim into a shark's mouth and eat remnant food particles from the shark's teeth. The cleaner fish departs with a satisfied appetite, and the shark is happy because his teeth are cleaned in the process. The shark does not allow any other kinds of fish into its mouth without chomping down for a good lunch. Indeed, what other fish would dare attempt to swim into a shark's mouth! This type of relationship is called a symbiotic relationship. Creationists point out that these relationships clearly represent a design that could not have occurred by chance. Evolutionists have a very difficult time explaining how these types of relationships could evolve with time. Nevertheless, an evolutionist will somehow have us believe that the cleaner fish eventually figured out he could go in the shark's mouth, and the shark eventually figured out that he should let him so as to maintain proper dental hygiene. The following illustrations portray the likely repercussions of this ill-advised bravery. Nobel Prize winner and evolutionist Albert Szent-Gyorgyi acknowledged that time, chance, and random mutations could never produce the numerous symbiotic relationships we see all around us (He went on to postulate an impersonal creative force, an "innate drive in living matter" in an attempt to make peace with his faith in evolution)1. Let's face it, symbiosis clearly points to a Designer. The lengths an evolutionist must go to explain away this one is beyond fairy tale! "If it could be proved that any part of the structure of any one species had been formed for the exclusive good of another species, it would annihilate my theory, for such could not have been produced through natural selection." - Charles Darwin [link to www.evolutionfairytale.com] actualy life does evolve spontaniously, there was a video of a priest (A PRIEST!) talking about these details and that there have been periodic explosions of evolution in life wat if a god exists and he uses evolution to create life? (you dimwit) and even if evolution isnt true, does it prove theres a god? (especialy your spooky god yahweh?) NOPE, it would only prove that life spontaniously spawns out of nowhere and that earth came outa nowhere 9000 years ago that sir, would be very stupid |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 22089462 Netherlands 10/06/2012 08:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The theory of evolution is a THEORY. Not 100% fact. It's a work in progress so to speak.. Quoting: jadksn 24543892 But it's still the best and most likely explanation for life around us. A theory by definition is the most rational and best fitting explanation we have for explaining facts. Eg the theory of gravity will never become the "fact" or "law" of gravity (back when Newton was around the scientific method was not around, so he referred to his explanation as "laws of gravity", ironically later data showed him to be wrong (the orbit mercury did not fit his "law of gravity")). |

"Creation" manifests a God that is bloodthirsty, cruel, twisted and vicious. Every foolish Creationist quotes this text over and over to make a point about intelligent design and then ignores the utter lack of moral values in creation. He created the guinea worm (extremely well designed!), alligators (with their backward pointing teeth to hold on to struggling victims), the Tyrannosaurus Rex (whose teeth marks have been identified on the fossils of other dinosaurs) and much more. The utter lack of ethics in creation led Darwin to evolution and he talks about it in his writings. |
