    Searching for Truth with a Broken Flashlight

    Both of our quotes come from the NAS and almost seem to conflict, but they really don't. When a scientist is speaking in the vernacular, he/she may be using fact in this way. This, though, anti-evolutionists can exploit. I believe Stephen J. Gould does a better job of clarifying: In the...

    Searching for Truth with a Broken Flashlight

    According to the National Academy of Sciences: Fact: In science, an observation that has been repeatedly confirmed and for all practical purposes is accepted as “true.” Truth in science, however, is never final and what is accepted as a fact today may be modified or even discarded tomorrow...

    Searching for Truth with a Broken Flashlight

    You don't get it do you. I never said all life belongs to the same kind. Read it again. How does one determine a "kind"? The ONLY reason why young earth anti-evolution creationists use "kind" as to mean horse-kind, cat-kind, dog-kind, is to get around the impossibility of fitting hundreds of...

    Hey, I'm not the author, but I'm sure he supports this claim. It'll suck when your "nonsense" actually turns into sense. best,

    Searching for Truth with a Broken Flashlight

    I've argued this one before. Evolution is not one species changing to another, but a change in the frequency of alleles within a population (or kind) from one generation to the next. The point I believe he is making is that "kind" is not a set category, but a morphologically changing category...

    Searching for Truth with a Broken Flashlight

    I'm not the author, but the "taller than the highest mountains" I do know is a misconception. It says in the King James Version, "..and the mountains were covered" Orthodox Jews for the most part do not accept this, because the Hebrew word for "mountaions" is the same as "hills". This...

    Searching for Truth with a Broken Flashlight

    Greetings all: Did you know… -Charles Darwin never claimed life evolved by chance. -Biological evolution does not say we came from monkeys or chimps. -Charles Darwin never used the word "evolution" in Origin of Species nor did he use the phrase, “survival of the...

    Paradigm Paralysis

    Greetings all, As you may know, a paradigm is a model or a pattern. According to John Harrison, Program Director for the National Stuttering Project, “It’s a shared set of assumptions that have to do with how we perceive the world…But when data falls outside our paradigm, we find it hard to...

    Evolution 'controversy'.

    Very interesting angellous_evangellous. You can see the battle of two worldviews, one that embraces a foundation in authority from God and another that embraces a foundation in rational thought. best,

    Theistic Evolution

    Hi Atomist, First, quoting Dawkins, an ardent atheist, attempting to explain anything about Christianity will convince only like-minded atheists/agnostics. His premise is that there is no God (or anything supernatural), which means his arguments can conclude nothing else. If you are trying...

    Theistic Evolution

    Wow, this forum is awesome. The only problem I see is that one could spend all day and night evaluating/assessing/commenting upon all of the replies. My wife will probably soon divorce me if I jump into it too much. I'll just comment on Atomists'. Hi Atomist, Excellent thought, since I dread...

    Theistic Evolution

    So, what you are admitting, Man of Faith, is that you reject evolution not because of the physical evidence but because of a particular belief, i.e., your favored interpretation of the Bible. There are over 30 thousand different Christian denominations and each one believes they have been...

    Hi Dan4reason, It will probably be difficult for us to debate this issue, because my guess it we are very similar when it comes to the reality of evolution. Anax

    Hi Skwim, I am a product of the Enlightenment with a Thomistic flavor, in other words, a theistic evolutionist.

    Just Joined - Christian with Paleontology Background

    Greetings everyone, I am excited to be on Religious Forums and what has motivated me to participate is the evolution/creation controversy. I have been researching issues on the controversy for over 30 years. My graduate research is in paleontology and fossil stratigraphy, but my studies have...
