The power to draft an army is a power given to Congress by the US Constitution. It isn't a right given to citizens. Therefore, Congress can decide who it drafts and how because that is the power given it by the US Constitution.
In my experience, the position taken by AiG is representative of Creationism as a whole. Creationists start with the conclusion that YEC is true, and then reject or ignore any evidence that contradicts it. They will also come up with all sorts of made up mechanisms to save their conclusion, up...
I would prefer to say that Creationism isn't scientific, and if Creationism is true then it would require God to be a deceiver.
If we did try to make Creationism scientific it would obviously fail, and spectacularly so. However, you will find that in any discussion where Creationism is shown...
Creationism can't fail because no evidence can ever run contrary to the belief.
"By definition, no apparent, perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the scriptural record."--Answers in Genesis

You would think so, but that isn't the case. YEC's claim that we shouldn't see those things because Noah's flood magically sorted the fossils in some untestable and unknown process.
Creationism isn't a theory because it lacks testable hypotheses and can not be falsified. For example, there is no potential fossil that would falsify creationism. There is no shared genetic marker that would falsify creationism. There is no observation in the field of creationism that would...
It also has to do with the taxonomic levels in Linnaean taxonomy which incorrectly describe how evolution works. Linnaean taxonomy states that as a group of species acquires an arbitrary amount of diversity that it becomes a new Genus. However, there is no way to have a Genus inside of another...
Agreed. This is what happens when people start with the belief that humans are incapable of correctly determining morality on their own and instead rely on what they believe to be a deity who holds an absolute and true morality. The same applies to ideologies, examples of which would violate...
The proof is out there if you are willing to look.
"New research confirms the "Out Of Africa" hypothesis that all modern humans stem from a single group of Homo sapiens who emigrated from Africa 2,000 generations ago and spread throughout Eurasia over thousands of years. These settlers replaced...
You would also need to include potential observations that would disprove your idea. Otherwise, all you are saying is that anything you see, no matter what it is, is evidence for a creator. It becomes a meaningless claim.
What those tests look for is mutations that have accumulated in the African populations since the migration of Africans out of Africa.
Your understanding is wrong. The trunk of the modern human family tree goes back to Africa.
Others have defined genetic information differently than you have.
How do genetic systems gain information by evolutionary processes? Answering this question precisely requires a robust, quantitative measure of information. Fortunately, 50 years ago Claude Shannon defined information as a...
Don't you think that you should have some evidence of corruption within the FBI before making accusations against them?
This is sounding more and more like the Turner Diaries.
You don't seem willing to consider that the universe was begun by a creator and then come up with testable predictions and potential falsifications for the idea.
