Re: Not every ID/creationist argument is a PRATT

Do you really think there are any non-PRATT's available?
Surely whether we do or not is irrelevant, it was Chuck77 who was claiming there was a substantial body of significant creationist research being published in their own journals that shouldn't just be dismissed as PRATTs. Admittedly so far his examples have been less than stellar on the 'not a PRATT' front.
I think claiming all creationists IDists are only ever recycling PRATTs is a bit unfair. We have had some, such as shadow71 and Smooth Operator, who have brought new arguments based on recent research. These arguments may fit into large overall themes, such as genetic information/entropy or directed evolution, that are frequently raised, but I don't think the arguments as they were presented could be dismissed as PRATTs.
TTFN,

Maybe it's because creationts like Chuck77 does not know that his 'arguments' are PRATTS? He doesn't know that his 'arguments' are lies? He only gets his 'arguments' from creationists and he has never in his life been told about the counter-arguments which destroyed his 'arguments'. He doesn't know that they are lying. I used to be on that side of things. I was never told the truth. I believed it, though.
I was raised in those circumstances. Only heard the 'arguments' from fundies. I was never told that reality is different. Never heard the other side. That's why this forum is very valuable. You hear arguments from both sides.

Re:
Hallo Mr/Ms Administrator (or anyone else who can answer)
Are we allowed to reply in this thread?
I'm new to this forum too and not very familiar with the rules as to what we may or may not do.

That's why I'm not going to comment here. I realized that my answer to his comments were not on topic.
