'Naturally driven'? I don't think biologists would have a problem with that term. They may have a problem, though, with your original term 'unguided'. The two are very different. Evolution works with what's available in terms of alleles. Those alleles that are disadvantagous are selected against...
I agree. But where is the evidence for ID for the teachers to present? To date, ID publications consist of denying evolution but not actually presenting their own case. I feel that this is what you have done (similar to rusra02) in your post. Last year, I was sent a complimentary copy of the...
What weaknesses?
What evidence?
What prominent ToE advocates deny natural selection or the role of mutations?
(Apologies for the colours - I've forgotten how to multi-quote posts!)
Your reply is an example of denying evolution. I said in my post that let's assume ID is the accepted...
Genesis 6:15. 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high. According to the footnote in the bible, this translates as 135m long, 22.5m wide and 13.5m high. And 2 of every land animal were packed into this....
Jeez, how often do we have to hear this 'atheism is a religion' stuff? Please, please, please look up the definition of atheism, Know It All (indeed, if you did in fact know it all, you wouldn't be posting inaccurate information).
Regarding our presence on a religious forum, well, the clue is...
Lets say your ideal scenario was realised: ID has been deemed an appropriate alternative to ToE to be taught in the classroom.
Here is a question from last years Scottish Higher Biology exam paper, aimed at 16-17 year olds:
Give an account of the importance of isolating mechanisms...
Hi Nerthus. I saw that you were in the Wilderness Walkers group and that you liked mountains. Where do you walk? Got any pics you could add to the folder?
Cheers.
Not so. For a debate to be valid, both sides need to present available evidence for scrutiny. Proponents of ToE do this with openess - it's there for anyone to view. Creationists have no evidence, rendering their arguement invalid.
Have you not read any of the threads here which present the...
jbug: if all the annoying posters left, then there would hardly be an RF! If you feel you have something to say, then say it. Of course some may disagree with your views, but the point is that you are free to state your view and defend it regardless.
Stick around.
Couldn't access the link (I'll try again later), but my question is how would Noah go from DNA samples to creating whole live organisms? Was that covered in the article?
Personally, I don't think the idea is at all plausible, but I can see biblical fundamentalists loving the idea.
