Re: The Line Cuts Both Ways
Hi, Joralex!
Evidence, my learned friend, evidence. Setting aside all metaphysical foundations (for just a second), what is the best inference that the evidence points to?
What is the evidence you refer to? I only ask because to this point I've only seen assertions from you, no evidence, and I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps we're using different definitions of evidence. Do you think saying something like "The evidence for a divine creator is all around us" constitutes evidence?

I have long held the view that if a person must ask this question then that person is too far gone for me to help.
One usually engages in a dialogue in order to exchange information. If your only response to inquiries is ad hominems, then one can only conclude you're here for the ad hominems and not for useful dialogue.
Do you think saying something like "The evidence for a divine creator is all around us" constitutes evidence?
Absolutely not. It is the actual evidence that is all around us that supports the existence of a purposeful Creator - not the mere act of saying so.
The actual evidence for evolution is all around us, and the evolutionists here will respond to inquiries about it.
