Reality REALLY strikes again

Except special creation.
Special Creation, like the flood and Exodus and Conquest of Canaan and Garden of Eden and Young Earth has been refuted by reality.
Sorry Charlie but that's the facts.

But there is no evidence of a designer
CRR writes:
Intelligent design proponent David Klinghoffer (2016) claims that intelligent design is a theory of evolution, seeking to explain why biological diversity flowers and grows in the manner it does. It’s just not Darwin’s theory of evolution.
Yet Klinghoffer, like all the folk trying to market ID, has never offered any evidence of any designer, intelligent or otherwise. He may claim ID is a Theory but at best it might rise to the level of a hypothesis; most often it is simply a fantasy.

The problem is Creationist misrepresentation.
Dredge writes:
In graduate school, all you'll get is the fossil record according to the atheist cult of Darwinism.
There is no such thing as "the atheist cult of Darwinism" except in the writings from the Christian Cult of Ignorance.
Evolution is a fact & the Theory of Evolution is the only explanation for the diversity of life seen today and in the past.
Creationism offers no explanation at all. Even the basic source for Creationism, the Bible stories, contain two mutually exclusive creation myths. They differ in the order of creation, the method of creation and in the characteristics of the creator. If one is accurate then the other by definition is false.
In addition simply claiming some creator has no explanatory power or worth. It is simply a claim of magic.
Evolution refers to biological change over time.
There is evidence that biological life forms did change over time.
There is NO evidence though of any creator, any special creation or any recent creation.

A dog by any other breed is still a mutt.
Convention often overrides consistency.
