Re: Survey

100 scientists were surveyed and asked
What are the chances of ToE being completely correct?
Answers varied from 0% to 100%
I would hope that no scientist thinks ToE is 100% correct. What would be the point of continuing to study it if we already understood it completely?

Microwalking is walking from the living room to the mailbox. Macrowalking is walking from New York to San Francisco. The process of walking is the same in both cases.

That is a pretty broad definition of evolution. If it is simply change over generations, I don't think anyone would disagree with it....
Creationists don't disagree with evolution because of definitions or facts or logic. They disagree because they're anti-science. You may be too young to remember but creationists used to deny microevolution. I've even heard creationists say that dinosaurs never existed. They've been in headlong retreat from reality for decades and it doesn't look like they'll ever run out of ways to deny science.

Google "cdesign proponentsists".

In Message 92 you said:
quote:
ID has no issue with definitions 1-4, is somewhat agnostic on 5, and rejects the validity of 6.
where point #6 was:
quote:
6. Blind watchmaker thesis: the idea that all organisms have descended
from common ancestors solely through an unguided, unintelligent,
purposeless, material processes such as natural selection acting on random variations or mutations; that the mechanisms of natural selection,
random variation and mutation, and perhaps other similarly naturalistic
mechanisms, are completely sufficient to account for the appearance of
design in living organisms.
If ID rejects what science concludes, that is anti-science.

cdesign proponentsists ≠creationist, unless you are now saying the term is limited to some old books change of terms between versions.
"cdesign proponentsists" exposes the lie that creationists and IDists are different. All they did was (try to) change " creationist" to "design proponent". Nothing else in the book was changed.
WookieeB writes:
But SCIENCE doesn't necessarily conclude that an unguided, unintelligent process is 'sufficient to account for the appearance of design in living organisms'
Yes it does. There is no controversy in science about evolution.

It's also referred to as the Chewbacca defense, which is really offensive to me if you couldn't tell by my username.
This isn't a jury trial, so the Chewbacca defense doesn't apply.

You're shooting yourself in the foot, trying to support your position by quoting scientists who disagree with you.
When you get on an airplane, do you go up to the cockpit and tell the pilot he's flying all wrong?

I asked how the word "selection", which by definition implies doing something, applies to the term 'Natural Selection" when you claim that 'Natural Selection' doesn't do anything.
The word "selection" is modified by the word "natural". The "selection" is a result of "natural" events. The slowest zebras are the ones that get eaten first. It is a "natural" coincidence that the fast-zebra genes are preserved.

The new wrinkle this time is to hold your deity at arms length from the processes so as to not offend the court too directly.
I wonder if their insecure God is offended by their denial of Him.
