| Quote (Daniel Smith @ Nov. 12 2008,03:03) | | Quote (Quack @ Nov. 10 2008,02:35) | i think this tells us all we need to know about Daniel:
| Quote | "If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advance." Orville Wright
"The presence or absence of a creative super-intelligence is unequivocally a scientific question." Richard Dawkins |
His position then seems to be
a) much of what we hold for true isn't so. That applies especially to evolutionary theory, but not to the bible.
b)The question of God is a scientific question; we have to search the answer by science.
Another clue is his declaration: | Quote | | I am definitely unmotivated |
He is not interested, his only motive is to have his faith bolstered.
Which, I believe, is what drives most creationists.
While I am at it:
| Quote | | Natural selection has always been the Achilles heel of the ToE anyway: when something (such as the Krebs' cycle) is revealed to be the best of all possible solutions, it is said to be the work of selection, but when something isn't the best possible solution (windpipes, eyes, etc) it is also said to be the result of selection. So everything whether it works right or not, is explained by selection. Convenient... |
It seems he has not understood the basic fact about natural selection: It can only work through what is available for selection; it may perfect, less than perfect, or even poor, but still workable.
Sickle cell anemia comes to mind. So what's his point? (Just rhetoric, the point is goddidit.) |
You don't have a clue what I believe about the bible (or anything else). Don't make assumptions. If you really want a sense of what I believe, go back and read all my posts in this forum. Don't just breeze in mid-conversation and pronounce judgment. It makes you look foolish. |
