So what if it takes faith to agree with ID, If it takes faith then it is not science. This is a science thread (as Percy pointed out up thread). If you need to invoke faith what does that tell you about the scientific validity of I.D. being under the aegis of the scientific method?

This isn't MY thread topic, it's RAZD's. HIS OP is what I was reponding to, AS he asked me to do. Maybe you should take it up with RAZD as to WHY this topic is in the SCIENCE section. Make sense?

If you don't want to have your beliefs confronted, DON'T POST THEM. It's really simple. It's PAINFULLY simple. If you shut up and go away, you'll never hear from anyone who disagrees with you. If you want to stick around, then you are going to have to put up with people who are unwilling to let you say stupid things without calling you on it. It's your choice. PAINFULLY OFF TOPIC-YET AGAIN-PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS GIBBERISH AS IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OP, AS OPPOSED TO MY COMMENT WHICH ACTUALLY DID. SINCERLY, COMMON SENSE

Hi Nuggin,
I was hoping to participate in this thread rather than moderate, so as a participate I'll just briefly say that I think you're a bit over the top regarding rule 10 of the Forum Guidelines. --Percy

Hi Chuck,
You can report any problems you encounter during discussion to the Report Discussion Problems Here 3.0 thread. In this case there's no need to do that, moderators are already aware, and there's no need to take moderation into your own hands. As long as I'm replying to you I'll spill my own 2 cents, but it just echos what others have already said. If you accept ID as a matter of faith, and if you don't think it should be taught in science class, then I don't think many would have any problem with that. But if you not only accept ID as a matter of faith but also think it is science deserving of attention in public school science classrooms, as Dover, Pennsylvania, did back in 2004, then all science minded folk would have a big problem with this, and would push you to describe ID's qualifications as science. --Percy

Percy, I responded _in kind_.
I notice that in your response to Chuck, not only didn't you complain about him calling me a dick, you and I are presenting the same basic argument.
... But if you not only accept ID as a matter of faith but also think it is science deserving of attention in public school science classrooms..., then all science minded folk would have a big problem with this, and would push you to describe ID's qualifications as science. If his response to you was this:
You seem like a real D**K to attack me like that. You get off on it? Would you say that he was being respectful? Doubt it. I have no problem with you jumping in to keep stuff on course or civil, just don't turn a blind eye to the Creationists just because they claim that Jesus made them do it.

No, you seem to be the one who is confused.
RAZD is asking for scientific evidence as he posted it in the science forum. You provided non-scientifc evidence i.e. faith. That was my point. Make sense? Edited by Larni, : Make sense?Snappy title.

Maybe people use the Report Discussion Problems Here 3.0 thread so little because it feels like tattling, but I wish they'd use it more. Or PM a moderator or moderators. --Percy

Hi again Catholic Scientist, thanks. No problem, RAZD, I hope all is well.
Faith, by definition, is believing something without evidence or proof: Ergo, if someone accepted ID from evidence or proof, then it would not be faith. I agree with you that ID is taken on faith, but I disagree that it must be. Do you accept that it is possible for someone to arrive at ID without faith? Regardless of if this has been shown to have happened or not.

That would mean they have evidence. Which as of yet no one has provided. So no they can not arrive at ID without faith. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

quote: And you reply with: "no, it hasn't been shown" You have got to be trolling! But anyways, They have provided the evidence. We've seen it here where people have expressed that when they see all the beauty in the world they are convinced that it must have been designed. That is their evidence and they are comming to a conclusion. That is not a position of faith. That you don't consider that to be good evidnce doesn't undermine the fact that they are not reaching their position through faith.

First of all .
Go screw yourself. If you do not want to have an honest debate with me, ignore me. Your whole premise is ridiculous. You might as well ask if it is possible for someone to come to an irrational belief without it being irrational if there is any chance there might be some sort of evidence in the future. How the hell can you qualify your first statement with the second and still expect the first to have any meaning? Can you try some honest debate instead of making personal attacks against people that do not agree with you?
They have provided the evidence. We've seen it here where people have expressed that when they see all the beauty in the world they are convinced that it must have been designed. That is their evidence and they are comming to a conclusion. That is not a position of faith. Bullshit. It is a statement of faith. You are equivocating the word evidence. Give the definition you are using. Because it certainly isn't a scientific definition of the word evidence. Their evidence is faith.

More bullshit and equivocating. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

You are equivocating the word evidence. Give the definition you are using. Because it certainly isn't a scientific definition of the word evidence. Their evidence is faith. Evidence is something that can be used to form a conclusion that is not based on faith. Faith is accepting a position without evidence. If the IDist reached a conclusion from some evidence, then they are not accepting the position without evidence and they are not using faith. This isn't a difficult concept to grasp. Edited by Catholic Scientist, : No reason given.

Not when they're idiots like you. Evidently personal attacks makes you feel like a man or something. You might want to quit acting like a middle schooler.

If the IDist reached a conclusion from some evidence, then they are not accepting the position without evidence and they are not using faith. This isn't a difficult concept to grasp. Well it seems you will take any personal attestation as evidence. Your whole argument shows why ID is not scientific and is taken by faith alone. Your claims of there being evidence are in fact just redefinitions of the word evidence in order to say it is not a faith proposition. I grasp the concept. It is just that the concept id ridiculous. Mods - Are their no penalties for personal attacks? What happens if I respond in kind? As you can see, again, I have done nothing to provoke such venomous attacks. Can someone please request that CS respond to the arguments only instead of making an attack in every response to me. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

Nah, its just that when dealing with idiots I would rather make responding a little more enjoyable to myself by making fun of them. If you can't handle it, as you said you are free to ignore me.
Well it seems you will take any personal attestation as evidence. That doesn't follow at all, stupid.
Your whole argument shows why ID is not scientific and is taken by faith alone. Your claims of there being evidence are in fact just redefinitions of the word evidence in order to say it is not a faith proposition. The definition of faith is not "accepting something without scientific evidence" so it is you who is misusing the terms.

You gonna go home and eat some baby food, crybaby?
