Re: what is science?
John Paul,
Figure you to miss the point completely. here is no way to objectively test the fossils to provide evidence for the ToE.
Say it as much as you like. Shout it LOUD, JP, maybe it will come true. The fact is that the fossil record is ordered stratigraphically, correlatable globally. That's objectively determined. Perhaps you have an understanding of the word "objective" that is personal, & you'd like to inform us of?
Not only are you in conflict with science, but most creationists understand there is a fossil record to be explained. Maybe this is your get out clause? Denial, anyone?
Stratigraphy- until we know how the strata were laid down any fossil evidence will be subjective.
No, it won't.........The fact is that the fossil record is ordered stratigraphically, correlatable globally. It's objective, deal with it. Until you can say, "no, it's not objective", & show it, you have no point whatsoever.
Design is a mechanism. No amount of crying can change that fact.
No objection, but as I pointed out, ID isn't just about design. It's implicitly about the mechanism of construction too, & your theory MUST say something about it if you want to remain consistent.
Now you want me to explain the DEF. I am not here to teach I am here to debate. I will wait until you are educated in ID to continue this dialog.
No, you are here to support your assertions, like it or not. If you can't, then you LOSE. It's a simple rule understood by schoolchildren.
Show me why a DEF is evidence of design or retract. I am incredibly suspicious of your coyness.
Witnessing is for the pulpit, not the debate forum.

Re: Inference and Investigation
JP,
Guys, so no one thinks I am running away- I have to go but will return to this board hopefully in a couple of days- Saturday or Sunday. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Np, but for the record:
