Re: Evidence Of A Young Earth
However, nobody can claim that evolution was the certain cause of life on Earth.
Nobody does. Evolution does not deal with the cause of life.
​
Contrary to evolutionist, who are doing nothing more but making up guesses and conjectures
So all those scientists are liars and frauds huh?
​
the creationists have a tradition going back a few thousand years.
So? I'll assume yo're talking about christian creationism, which isn't really that old when you look at other religions. Hinduism is older than christianity, does that give it more validity, are you about to throw off the shackles of jesus and accept Vishnu into your life?
​
Nobody ever told their children that their grandfather was a wild animal and he had to get along with him anyway.
No grandfathers, but I have cousins who'd fit that description.

If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist!

Re: Evidence Of A Young Earth
First of all, if evolution does not deal with the cause of life, then what field of science does?
Abiogenisis
Why is it that creationist argue with evolution if evolution does not at least conjecture the causes and the origins of life
Cause they dont understand what evolution is about
​
Second of all, I just used the word conjecture again and I did not intend to use the word lie
you said (bold mine):
Contrary to evolutionist, who are doing nothing more but making up guesses and conjectures
Using the phrase "making up" is ignoring the evidence and research that goes into the formulation of theory, you're implying that scientists who study evolution are liars.
​
what makes you think that I am a Christian any more than a Hindu.
Just from my experience here, when someone puts forth the arguements that you did, they're just repeating christian anti-science propaganda.

Re: Evidence Of A Young Earth
First of all, hypothesis statements are "Made Up", not discovered
Hypotheses are based on initial observations and evidence and are tested against new observations and evidence to see if they are valid, they are not "made up".
​
why do you think that scientist are any more credible than the people who start religions
as iceage said; because science works.
​
The people who start religions claim that they were actually spoken to by superior beings.
So what? If I told you that The King of Kings Lord of Lords Odin the Allfather spoke to me woudl you automatically accept that?
​
Why would they lie?
First you start the religion, then you get the money, then you get the women.
​
Maybe the scientist would lie for the exact same reason.
Sure scientists have been caught in lies, but guess who found them out? Other scientists! Science is a self correcting process, unlike religion which sticks to the same stories written by primitive people who had limited knowlege about how the world works.
​
obviously you believe that the people who named this web site did not even know what evolution is.
No, judging by Percy's posts he's quite familiar with what evolution entails. Its those on the creation side who frame the debate as evolution vs. creationism.
