Soracilla,
Threads in [forum=-25] are persona non grata as far as discussion. They must be released to a discussion forum before they can become part of a discussion. You are bypassing Forum Guidelines regarding making your arguments within your messages and regarding the standards for opening new threads. These messages have been deleted and your privileges for opening new threads have been removed until such time as you agree to abide by the Forum Guidelines and moderator requests.
There is nothing wrong with the content of your posts, the arguments you make are valid and acceptable here. But you're using [forum=-25] as a place to post essays that you then refer to from other discussion threads. You can't do that. When you indicate you understand the standard practices of EvC Forum then I will restore the deleted posts and your posting privileges.

Yup!
Way too long and seemingly filled with lots of assertions but no supporting evidence. In addition the formatting makes it very dificult to read.
May I suggest that you pick one point that you think you might be able to support and address that first. If successful with that you could then move on to the next assumption.
If you wish you can always provide a link to the full article if available on the web somewhere and refer to sections from it. It would probably also be a good idea to spell check it for obvious errors.
In its present shape though it is certainly not ready for promotion.

Re: Yup!
Well maybe it is too long and not a great post. But I hope you actually read my essay...and I don't think it has alot of assumptions in it, and it does have supporting evidence. However, I think it lays out a good clear analysis of ID and arguments against evolution. The only real flaw in the post is that perhaps its too broad. But please, do read the essay if time permits.

The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them.

Did you want to begin a discussion or post an essay?
If the former, then please trim your post down to one or a few related points, and keep the arguments short. 4319 words is far too long. Don't worry about leaving arguments out - there will be plenty of opportunity to make all your points in the ensuing discussion.
Here's a list of the distinct topics I detected in your post and the forums in which they belong:
  1. The nature of science. Is It Science?.
  2. The definitions of evolution, microevolution and macroevolution, the weakness of evidence for trans-species evolution such as finch beaks, peppered moths and fruit flies, unexplained mysteries like the Cambrian explosion, lack of transitional fossils, structural homologies, punctuated equilibrium. Biological Evolution.
  3. The definitions of irreducible complexity and intelligent design, mutations and the origin of information in DNA. Intelligent Design.
  4. The origin of the universe, the expanding universe and the argument for ex nihilo creation. Big Bang and Cosmology.
  5. Polystrate fossils as evidence for a young earth. Geology and the Great Flood.
Please pick a single topic and write an opening post for it.
