It cannot reasonably explain the origin of the "primordial ooze" from whence all life originated from
Nor does it try to. You do know what the ToE says, don't you? Or do you just know what your pastor or AIG says?
Something does not come from nothing.
Would you mind explaining, in detail, what this has to do with evolution and where in the theory of evolution it states "well here, in this part of the theory, something has to come from nothing"?
All life and the perfect order of the universe could not have come into existence by random chance.
"Perfect order" of the universe? Surely you jest. Pop quiz hot shot: how much of the universe is habitable? What percentage of earth is habitable?
There probably will never be a "scientific model" for creation that will satisfy the other camp since any such model would be deemed religious in nature and not "superior" to the "accepted" evolutionary model.
First post and you already elicit defeat. As I said to another creo poster: do they preprogram you guys at the christian factory with persecution complex? It's fucking ingrained in you lot.
I guess the bottom line is it takes faith to believe either argument which ironically makes evolution a form of religion.
Define faith because your usage of the term is rather skewed if you think "accepting mounds and mounds of evidence and reality" to equate to faith. (hint: the google machine will give you the defintion but it's up to you to actually learn the word)
Creationists have nothing to lose...if we're wrong then we all die like dogs and this life is all there is...
funny thing about you creo's: you could give a shit about this life if there's no pearly gates whereas atheists actually DO care about this life because it's the only one we've got. Who's morals are fucked and meaningless now?

Re: Welcome!
take apart a car and then blow up the parts and then parts re-form into the car (big bang).
You do realize the big bang wasn't..actually...an...explosion, right?
{abe}
upon further dissection of your posts, I will say that if you wish to preach or proselytize, use the faith and belief section please. Over there you can preach about your skydaddy all you want.

Yes, I know what the HoE
What is the "HoE"?
I'm nor more "indoctrinated" by a pastor than you are by a professor/teacher right?.
Nope. I look at the world around me and come to evidence based conclusions. It just so happens that those conclusions agree with science and scientists..ya know, people who know that sort of thing?
My contention is that the evolutionary hypothesis is bunk based on the fact that it doesn't address (because it can't) the issue of origin.
Oh, you meant the ToE, right? And no, you obviously do NOT know what it says or is. Otherwise you would know that it doesn't stand to address origins in this sense.
Its my contention that all life is by intentional and intelligent design and because of that species do not need to change into something they weren't created for. Adapt/change within a species does not equal evolution.
I don't give two flying cock fucks what your contention is. I told you once already: this is the science section of EvC, leave your stupid fucking beliefs at the door or take them to the faith and belief side. We debate evidence here, not fairy tales.
Perfect order has nothing to do with habitation. Perhaps that's your definition of perfect. Habitable by what...only humans. Did it occur to you that perhaps earth is the only habitable planet in the universe as God's way of showing mankind their significance?
Unless you've got some evidence for this god character that is pertinent to the subject of evolution, you should stop bringing it up.
Faith is belief in something not provable.
Try again pal. It is belief in something with disregard to evidence.
If you had mounds and mounds of evidence we wouldnt be having a debate.
No, we wouldn't be having a debate if there weren't ignorant people who believed in bronze age desert myths. You people ignore evidence and reality and prove it time and again.
If, at any point you would like to bring some evidence to your argument, we are all ears. Less preachy and more evidence. This isn't your pulpit.

Re: Prompt for Portillo...
The others have poked this wide open, so I'll just address your first line:
The evolution of a large dog to a small dog is certainly change of a kind.
So is a wolf of the dog kind too? What of a fox? Coyote? Dingo? Are ALL of these just different "kinds" of dogs?

Re: Prompt for Portillo...
Personally I find the easiest way to discuss kinds is by using cladistics.
Ahh, but "kind" is their term so it is up to them to define it. What you are doing is called "making sense" using fact and evidence: something unfamiliar with creationists.

Re: Prompt for Portillo...
If you can get creationists to agree with you, I'd be all for it. However, that would entail them dropping the use of kind which doesn't seem to be happening. There is no sense in evolutionists assuming they mean clade but say kind, especially since it is not up to us to define their terms.
