Religions such as Druidry and Wicca are primarily nature-based paths which can serve to fulfill a biophilic urge humans have, so it's odd that some people regard them as 'pretend' religions.
If anything, the later religions that took the sacred out of nature and put it in the sky beyond human...
Yes. Exactly.
Regarding the crystal, you can take a solution of, let's say copper sulphate. Allow it to evaporate and crystallise. Isolate a crystal and watch it grow into a large crystal. This happens in nature inside geodes, and all crystals should show an internal structure that is...
Ever looked at the structure of a perfectly formed crystal? Exquisite in its detail and the precision of its molecular arrangement. No design there at all. All natural.
Please provide the evidence for your assertion that Nature is designed. Claiming it is so does not make it so!
The desire to respond to creationist misconceptions of evolution on this thread is extremely tempting, but I feel it should be avoided. Creationists are more then happy to continually point out the 'flaws' in ToE because it means they don't have to provide any evidence for their belief. This...
Don't worry about it, Klaufi. It's just a story. Ask your aunt to justify what she told you and you will find that she probably won't get too far beyond "but it's what I believe....". You said that she is tolerant. If so, I'm sure she will listen to you and respect your beliefs.
As MeowMix...
No it doesn't. The bases in all species are the same (A,T,C and G), but the sequence of those bases is different. My point highlighted the close similarity between the sequences of chimp and human DNA bases.
"The evidence for a builder is the house he built."
You are using an analogy. That is not evidence.
Regarding the presentation of 'creation' itself as evidence doesn't work either. You are making an assertion that is not backed up (goddidit). Substitute your god with any other mythical being...
Let the college know why you are applying to them and not to others. Highlight what that particular college can do to further your career / interests.
Edit: Oh, and good luck!
Just because science does not yet have all the answers, this does not equate to 'goddidit'.
Here, we are looking for positive evidence for creationist arguments, not highlighting the limits of science.
"How can nature make life if we failed with all the experimental conditions controlled?"
Because we are only human. We couldn't possibly control all the variables. We probably don't even know what all the initial variables were.
"The complexity of the mechanisms required for the functioning of...
Similarity between humans and chimanzees is based on genome comparisons, not single, individual traits such as cholesterol or milk. The degree of similarity of the base sequences between chimps and humans is staggering.
Genome.gov | 2005 Release: New Genome Comparison Finds Chimps, Humans Very...
You quote this implying that design is obvious. The nature of this thread is for proponents of creationism / ID to provide the evidence for that assertion. There is no point claiming that it is obvious, then not backing that statement up.
This thread is deader than a dead thing on National Dead Day on Planet Dead.
Dead.
Has the Rapture happened and taken all the creationists to heaven? Is that why there are none here?
