Cryptoguru is in any good position to launch an attack on the rationality of anybody else.


that is just your opinion.

I think the others on this board would be quite interested in the paradox that you've raised whereby you believe in God, yet are fundamental in the research and development of what is currently considered a foundational proof of evolution.

Most of the arguments against me on the discussion board here (from others) have been about the stupidity and irrationality of believing in God, presumably given the "truth" of evolution.

So Wes, it's your turn to be bashed for believing in God. :-)

Speaking of which, it is by no means clear that Darwin's beliefs are so easily pigeon-holed.

In a lot of his public writing and discussion he paid lip-service to God (as did Hitler) because he was aware of the majority view-point at the time. His private writings and letters give more info about his motivations and his actual beliefs.

So where do you think information originates Wes? Do you think information and designs to solve problems can emerge automatically through purely random mutation and a competition? Or do you believe that a creator is needed?

What do you believe about the origin of life itself? Do you believe it came about through supernatural causation ... or do you think life emerged spontaneously from chemical soup?

BTW: I find that making bold statements and black and white claims gets more information from a discussion as it helps polarise people's viewpoint and you get quicker to the real core of the debate. I'm happy to address and change my assumptions if they're proved wrong (as you will have seen me do already on a couple of occasions).
