We are actually on the same page here Mestemia. Before Einstein, cosmologists (along with atheists) believed in a static universe without a beginning (infinite). This creates a kind of paradox in a time continuum from past, present, to future. If the past is truly infinite, then it is...
Gunfingers, LuisDantas, Riverwolf,
The problem is we have a different definition of causality. Your definition of causality is determinancy of future events, i.e., every determinant cause is followed by a resulting effect (in Heisenberg's words). In this case, you are absolutely...
By causality, I mean cause and effect. For every effect there must be a cause. Nature is governed by it, such as fossils are the result of natural explanations. "Super"-nature is not, such as miracles. The miracle just might be supernatural, but it has affected something in nature. If, for...
Hi Autodidact,
I like your thoughts, but I see a small problem using the scientific process. The scientific process requires causality, and creationism is not bound by this. Can we manipulate the rules slightly to keep this idea going?

Hi Man of Faith,
This claim is actually testable. Go to Google Scholar and search all of the scholarly literature on biological evolution, speciation, and common ancestry. If your claim is true that evolution is based solely upon assumption and presupposition, then you will find that...

Searching for Truth with a Broken Flashlight
Thanks for the posts everyone. Slowbreath, variation in species is a causal result of common descent, with the most similar species having genetically closer relatedness than less similar species, i.e., a more distant common ancestor. It's kind of like one set of your great-great-great...
Hello,
My name is Michael Hawley and although new to this forum, I have been studying the evolution/creation controversy for 35 years. Of all the online forums discussing this issue, I have decided upon this one for numerous reasons. I am quite excited to join in on the discussions...
