The Big Bang, Abiogenesis, and Evolution

quote:

I did think of one more thing evolution 'theories', big bang 'theories', and abiogenesis 'theories' all have in common: they're all continually being revised. What's yesterday's 'fact' is today's rubbish in all three cases.

This misconception is the basis of much creationist "argument".
The idea that EVERY "fact" we know will one day be overturned.Long ago,
we thought the world was flat,
then,
we realised it was a sphere,
then
we found out it was an oblate spheriod.Creationists believe that one day we will find out thr world is NOT really an oblate spheriod, but is actually a CUBE or something else.By believing this sort of nonsense, creationists can therefore pretend that ANY fact they disagree with will one day be shown wrong.This allows them to dismiss ANY fact with an airy wave.Iasion

I expect I've met my share of creationists. I know I've read more than my fair share of the literature. But I've seen no cube earth claims. Not a single one.

I see I was not clear enough.CTD - this ridiculous cube-earth claim is the logical conclusion of YOUR common creationst claim that all facts will one day be found false.Thus, your argument - that all facts are one day found to be false - says that one day we will find the Earth is NOT round, but something else - like a cube e.g.Do you really believe that ALL facts will one day be found wrong?Will we one day find out that water burns?
Will we one day find out that petrol is good for cooking?No.
But that is the reduction to absurbity of your claim.Iasion
