Why I am creationist

Even more, what are they really trying to say with that argument? That religion is something trivial that should be ignored? That religion is dangerous? That religious based beliefs are wrong? For the creationist, religious faith is all they have. Supposedly, it is the most important thing in their life. So why are they so willing to trivialize and defame the most important thing in their life?When creationists use the "evolution is a religion" canard it really is a Kamikaze type argument. They blow up themselves in the process, but they really don't seem to mind as long as the "enemy" is killed in the process. It's as if they see the creationist ship sinking so they want to take as many with them as they can.

Whether or not that is true, I am still interested in where you are going with this. What do you hope to do by calling evolution a religion? Do you consider "religion" to be a term of derision? Do you think that calling something a religion makes it trivial at best, and something evil at worst? What are you hoping to accomplish by calling evolution a religion?

Why do we have to address claims backed by zero evidence? Do we have to disprove that the sky is falling just because some nut on the corner is holding a sign that says the sky is falling? When you marshal some evidence to back your claims then we will address those claims.

The irony is strong in this one.Where are your references? Where is the context for those quotes?Where are you going with this line of reasoning? Why is it so important for you to describe evolution as a religion? What is your argument here?Also, you claim it is very easy to see the flaws in evolution and yet you can't seem to describe any of them. It would appear that it is very hard to find these flaws, otherwise you would have done it already.

The proof is your inability to cite any viable reference for these quotes. You claim that these people made these statements, so where is your proof? So says the guy who replaces evidence with a persecution complex.

Any argument must pass the initial smell test. If you can show that a leader/expert in a field has come to the same conclusions as you have then it passes the initial smell test. It's a way of saying, "See!!! I'm not crazy!!". An appeal to authority is a way of enticing interest in your argument, and it is also a way of ensuring others that you aren't nucking futs.For example, let's say you had never heard of quantum mechanics. I tell you that light can act as both a wave and particle, but not both at the same time. You find such an idea to be laughable. I then tell you that thousands of physicists also believe that light can act as both a particle and a wave. Now it isn't so laughable, and it might even be true. You will still want to see the evidence, and rightly so, but you are more likely to take the idea seriously now then you were before.
