Re: Logic demands
As expected, your post is utterly irrelevant and simply more false assertions.
There is evidence of natural causes.
Please present the evidence of the creator or the method used by that critter to influence evolution.
Until you present evidence equal to the evidence of natural causes you have nothing.
Since there is evidence that there are natural causes but no evidence of a creator or any method used by that critter to influence evolution logic demands that until such evidence is presented that the creator or the method used by that critter be simply disregarded.
Your continued posting of absolute falsehoods and irrelevancies does not make them true or relevant.
It really is that simple.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Re: Logic demands
then law, order, identifiable purpose and design are proof of a creator.
So
so laws like a2+b2=c2 is evidence of a creator ????
Or is this law just a natural property of a right angle triangle ????
Or do you have any other law in mind ???
And what is this order i keep hearing about all i see is randomness organizing itself according to its properties perfectly natural. Like throwing a coin 100000 times the number of times it lands on heads or tails "organises" itself do to its properties.
Please demonstrate how nature or natural causes is anything more than a display of nature?
please demonstrate how natural causes is an explanation of soley natural causes
natural cause an apple falls down a tree accelerating at roughly 10 meters per second do to the properties of the earth whos mass provides a gravitational force that pulls the apple twords the earth. No supernatural causes needed.
Please explain how law, order, identifiable purpose and design are less min evidence, or why the are inadequate to draw a conclusion, like that of natural causes.
Because laws are the way things behave do to the properties they have like things with a higher mass need more energy to move as fast then things with less mass. Or a2+b2=c2 is a property of a right angle triangle,
no creator or designer or magic unicorn needed for laws or the caos you call order.
keeping in mind you have completely bungled even the use of natural causes. There is only nature, not causes for nature.
You are arguing like the ancient Greeks argued someone had to have lit the stars on fire so logically there has to be a magic person with a lighter to do that.
If an anwser is not known like what "created/lit" our universe that does not mean that magic man had to do it it just means WE DO NOT KNOW YET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This comment makes you not only a coward but filty liar. I have now given you sufficent reason to respond to my post. I have given more than an qdequate answer to your query. I have demonstrated it in logical fashion and you still play the fool
If any theist here was to conduct themselves as you are now, we would have been suspended a long time ago. Now I see why you have so many posts, you just keep reproducing the same one over and over

Thanks for that Panda. I must say I'm somewhat bemused by an English-speaking individual managing to hash up the beauty of the English language so much....one is almost tempted to think it is done on purpose!

Since jar is a theist, I will add this to your growing list of falsehoods.
Each time you post a falsehood or an irrelevancy, you just look more and more like the "coward" and "filty[sic] liar" you accuse others of being.

Could you point me to the post/s, where you or Panda actually engage in debate, that is when your not acting only as irritants
Guys by not reponding to myself or IamJospeh, you are making it clear you dont understand anything concerning argumentation.

Coyote, my question criteria did not call for your rendition of what is science. I simply ask you, were they doing science or practicing religion with their research ship and crew?
Not all scientists come to the same conclusions. Surely you know that. Which is it? What were they doing out there that does not come under the definition of science? Certainly they were not practicing religion. Likely some of the crew were not even religious.

After you have answered our repeated requests to present the evidence of the creator or the method used by that critter to influence evolution, then we will explain why posting falsehoods doesn't make them true.

Re: Logic demands
. . . law, order, identifiable purpose and design are proof of a creator.
Evidence please.
Of course both positions are equal in evidence,. . .
No, they are not. You have yet to support the argument that law, order, and identifiable purpose are signs of creator and a creator alone with evidence.
Please demonstrate how nature or natural causes is anything more than a display of nature?
please demonstrate how natural causes is an explanation of soley natural causes
Natural causes are just that, natural causes. You are suggesting supernatural causes, and are doing so without any observations of supernatural causation, nor evidence of it.
Law, order and purpose are more that sufficient and on the same equalitywith nature causes (as you use the term) to provide evidence of a designer
Why? How are law, order, and purpose evidence of a designer? It would seem to me that law, order, and purpose are evidence of law, order and purpose in the same way that natural causes are evidence of natural causes.
My prediction is that you are to lazy to make a rebuttal and one of your cohorts will pick up the ball
Claims made without evidence refute themselves.

Re: Debating creationists
Absolutely not! If you can say that you haven't got the foggiest notion of logic function. Logic deals with VALIDITY OF ARGUMENTS and this has NOTHING to do with reality.
As I stated before to which you paid no attention, I agree with this element of aspect of logic, why wouldnt I. What I said was and I provided you with an example, is this. While logic has its uses, it is only an abstract term, the symbols, inferences and its other aspects are abstract, they are not real things.
That being the case if falls to reality to set the standards, boundries and limitations for not only what we call logic, but everything else as well. reality only allows to alternatives to answer of the question, why and how things are here
Even quantum physics, whose maths is often the only way we can ‘understand’ what it is about — gets confirmation in the REAL WORLD by ACTUAL EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE.
Yeap, pretty much what I was saying
Please provide the physical realities that lead to the deduction of God's existence. Please state precisely why the realities stated imply must mean a God. Please note - do not ignore this request - I will hound you mercilessly for the answer otherwise!!
Why would you think I was afraid to answer such a simple question, who do you think I am, Jar?
Reality only provides two logical alternatives to the reality of exitence, why it is here, how it operates.
Those choices or standards are set long before my inclination. They are a result of anything being in existence in the first place, a result of finiteness or eternality, regardless of which one is true
I never said it must mean a God. I said, due to the nature of reality as we know it, it does not resemble anything infinte or eternal in the first place.
In the second place reality clearly exhibits signs of design and the creative nature in the physical world, ie, law order and purpose
Law order and purpose dont need someones approval for it to be obvious laws in action. So why wouldnt someone conclude a designer or God?
If someone is still not convinced in this connection then it would fall to the fact that this is what reality permits in the nature of choices
In contrast why would one conclude an infinte universe or existence, from such finite properties. Gods eternal existence would be more reasonable as a choice
1. What 'principle' are you referring to - it's not at all clear. Please state your case rather than make oblique references to the debate at hand.....what principle?
In written form or oral creationist dont use guile or deciet in debate as was implied by Dwise and others. there point was that in oral we acted like used car salesmen. That is why I refered him to Dr Thomas B Warren, as to why that was not the case.
Is English your primary language? If not then fair enough, I can make allowance for that and just be patient. If English is your primary language - don't try to be deceitful with its meaning. I WILL call you on attempted disingenuousness!
Yeah yeah yeah, just respond to the arguments please. Loosen your neck tie and relax inspector gadget

Re: Debating creationists
While logic has its uses, it is only an abstract term, the symbols, inferences and its other aspects are abstract, they are not real things.
The same applies to law, order, and purpose. These are abstract terms as well.
reality only allows to alternatives to answer of the question, why and how things are here
Reality offers no alternatives. There is only one reality. Period.
Reality only provides two logical alternatives to the reality of exitence, why it is here, how it operates.
Again, reality offers no alternatives. There is only the way things are. That's it. If you want to claim that things are a certain way, then you need to show us evidence that this is so.
So why wouldnt someone conclude a designer or God?
Why would they, given the absence of evidence for a designer or God?
If someone is still not convinced in this connection then it would fall to the fact that this is what reality permits in the nature of choices
Again, there is only reality. Not choices. Not possibilities. Just reality.
Gods eternal existence would be more reasonable as a choice
Where is the evience that God exists, or that God is eternal? You have yet to supply this evidence.
