Hi Taz. Wouldn't it have been better to ask a question to Creationists about evolution that would require an answer beyond what common sense could provide and see what kind of answers we would have given?
I think when Creationists give answers that suggest it's common sense it's more along the lines of "well, common sense says it's designed".
I don't think it happens much where an evolutionist were to ask "given a population of wolves how many changes in that population would it take for a novel feature to evolve?"
I don't think Creationist' would answer "well, common sense says "so and so".
It depends on how technical the debate is, who's debating and what the subject is. Your OP here is asking a question about a topic related to engineering and asking what Creationists think cause "a lot of them seem to be all knowing".
It might have been better to ask a topic related to the creation/evolution debate that was somewhat technical to make your point.
If you think that a lot of Creationists seem to be "all knowing" I assume you mean when it comes to the "debate" and not engineering.
So, maybe to test this hypothesis a thread should be made to see what kind of answers you might get from a question related to the creation/evolution debate that goes beyond what common sense would say.
