Evolution has been Disproven

defenderofthefaith, How does that disprove evolution even if abiogenesis did = evolution? You are equivocating, unintentionally, on the phrase "spontaneous generation". In Pasteur's day it meant the formation of complex living things like bacteria, even rats, frogs etc. out of nowhere. Abiogenesis is different, it postulates the formation of a self replicaing molecule from non self replicating matter. Pasteur disproved spontaneous generation, not abiogenesis.If you are going to try to link abiogenesis & spontaneous generation, you are equivocating, a logical flaw."Equivocation is the type of ambiguity which occurs when a single word or phrase is ambiguous, and this ambiguity is not grammatical but lexical. So, when a phrase equivocates, it is not due to grammar, but to the phrase as a whole having two distinct meanings."Mark------------------
"I can't prove creationism, but they can't prove evolution. It is [also] a religion, so it should not be taught....Christians took over the school board and voted in creationism. That can be done in any school district anywhere, and it ought to be done."

defenderofthefaith, Pasteur proved that complex living things likw bacteria didn't just spring into existence as was originally thought. He definately did NOT prove that a self replicating molecule ultimately could not have evolved into a cellular unit.You are moving the goalposts. Your assertion that living matter only comes from living matter is not an agreed, nor demonstrated premise. Claiming that it is is a fallacy of composition/division.Mark[This message has been edited by mark24, 09-14-2003][This message has been edited by mark24, 09-14-2003]

defenderofthefaith, Like I said in my last post & you ignored, this is logically fallacious. An equivalent argument would be, every action we see in the universe occurs naturally (in the materialist sense), therefore God can't exist because He is supernatural.Mark------------------

defenderofthefaith,Is it your position that information gain is impossible via mutation?Mark

Regless, So what did you learn about IC as an argument for design?Mark
