Islamic creationist is pretty much the same as Christian creationism.
quote: Same ol' same ol'. Jewish creationism apparently looks exactly like Christian creationism. The Discovery Institute has Jewish members. Hindu creationism is much the same, but with a twist. Hindu creationists believe that everything is much older than it actually is. So, for example, they use the "Paluxy tracks" as proof that the human race is millions of years older than those atheist scientists are admitting. Here are some excerpts from the writings of a Hindu creationist:
quote: Same old lies, same old nonsense, same old ignorance (I found it by looking for a website mentioning both the Vedas and the Second Law of Thermodynamics) --- but this time it proves the truth of a completely different religion. The reason all creationists sound alike is that of course they never put up any positive evidence for their myths, 'cos there isn't any. As a substitute, they whine about the aspects of science they don't understand; and muddle, bewilderment, and blank incomprehension of science can be shared by Hindu, Muslim, and Christian non-scientists alike.

I am a farm boy so I understand evolution, I think. You can improve livestock by selective breeding. You can improve seeds by selective pollination. I have evolved from a strong agile youth to a dotting old fool. That' not evolution.
But I have never seen nor has anyone ever been able to show me one piece of evidence of macro evolution (one species becoming another species). I am a farm boy so I understand evolution, I think. You can improve livestock by selective breeding. You can improve seeds by selective pollination. I have evolved from a strong agile youth to a dotting old fool. But I have never seen nor has anyone ever been able to show me one piece of evidence of macro evolution (one species becoming another species). If you have never seen any evidence for this, it's 'cos you've never looked, and if no-one's ever showed you the evidence, I can presume that this is because you've never asked. It's easy to make an argument from ignorance if you carefully avoid learning anything about the subject you're discussing.
Here are some observations of new species, together with some quotes from creationists admitting it.
I have asked the question many time where the singularitry came from that the universe supposedly started from? The best answer I have got so far is, I don't know. Yes, Virginia, there are still unanswered scientific questions. What's your point?
I don't know how but I have read where science says it happened that life forms disappeared. Science says that? Someone should tell a scientist.
I believe that true science is true. I believe that theories are just that, whether it is one man's opinion or millions. Really? Now me, I believe that a theory is: In science, a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses. --- US National Academy of Sciences "Theory" means a logical, tested, well-supported explanation for a great variety of facts. --- National Center for Science Education, USA Scientific theories, like evolution and relativity and plate tectonics, are hypotheses that have survived extensive testing and repeated verification. Scientific theories are therefore the best-substantiated statements that scientists can make to explain the organization and operation of the natural world. Thus, a scientific theory is not equal to a belief, a hunch, or an untested hypothesis. Our understanding of Earth's development over its 4.5 billion-year history and of life's gradual evolution has achieved the status of scientific theory. --- American Geophysical Union A theory in science, such as the atomic theory in chemistry and the Newtonian and relativity theories in physics, is not a speculative hypothesis, but a coherent body of explanatory statements supported by evidence. The theory of evolution has this status. --- American Intitute of Biological Science But then, I've bothered to learn the basic vocabulary of the subject I'm discussing.

No, evolutionism and its ignorant prognosticators are the ones who lie about the Second Law of Thermodynamics! I thought you said that you were a former creationist? In which case you will realise that this cry of tu quoque rather falls down over the whole not-being-true issue.
You should really be more polite. If politeness involves overlooking the blunders of creationists, then call me Dr Not-Very-Polite.
ICANT, a brand-new poster, was humble and self-effacing ... Not noticeably. I do not see the "humility" in dismissing the work of generations of scientists based on a study so cursory that he doesn't know the meaning of the word "theory" or the word "evolution".
