    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    No, that is the way that the terms are used as per their dictionary definitions.

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    In common usage (after all you do love to claim that we should follow "common discourse") FACT AND OPINION DO NOT CONTRADICT EACH OTHER. The terms cover different concepts. How many times do people have to tell this before you finally go and use a proper dictionary.

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    They are not emotive words, especially when you don't misuse them. "Reproductive success" simply means "has offspring that survive". "Quality" means "an attribute or characteristic possessed by something" "better" means "more effective" But where is your claim that NS says that things "Like to...

    First Five Months of 2015 Hottest on Record

    So a graph that, if you look closely, shows a slow and steady increase in temperature. This helps your argument how?

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    No, that is your interpretation, and its wrong. The scientific definition avoids emotive terminology. Here is a definition of Natural selection: So the problem is that you, and others, don't actually know what the science says. Which means that the real issue is that people can be ignorant.

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    Oh look a fiat definition of "common discourse".

    Papal encyclical, Global Warming, Speaker of Smooth Lies, and Rush

    So the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" is a democracy? Claiming that the name that a political party truly defines their political position is just plain stupid.

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    Really? That is all you do all the time, make fiat definitions of terms that do not match the definitions used by the majority of people (or dictionaries) and compound it by refusing to provide the definitions that you are using.

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    No, that is Abiogenesis. "macro-evolution" is new species evolving from existing species - which is an observed fact.

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    Almost no one who accepts Evolution interprets it like that. You really know absolutely nothing about what the ToE actually is.

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    Not that the list of dictators is very long. The Nazi's banned the teaching of the ToE, Stalin and the soviet government of the time heavily went for Lamackism over the ToE.

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    Eugenics was practised by the ancient Greeks and Romans, they just did not apply that modern label to it. Yes I would, just as my parents did with one of my siblings. In fact in the UK I doubt any such information is provided during the adoption process (and it could be illegal to do so). In...

    When the Big-Bang inflation occurred it was extreme density and heat around it

    In space, especially, "Cold" is just a label that we apply to certain levels of energy density. It did not need to come from anywhere.

    Madnesss: WAS JESUS INSANE ?

    Not a convincing argument, most forms of execution back then involved pain and suffering (and many forms did so until relatively recently). In addition people being willing to suffer for sincerely held beliefs is not a symptom of insanity (although the underlying belief may be) and not uncommon...

    Madnesss: WAS JESUS INSANE ?

    Well, you really do need to establish the a historic Jesus actually said those things, rather than them being attributed to him by later authors. Only in that case could you have any basis for claiming insanity. Then you need to take into account that people did think about the world in other...

    God Recreated the Earth 6,000 Years Ago!

    If you want to claim that solar radiation/ozone/atmosphere changes affect dating techniques such as Ar/Ar dating then you are going to need to provide evidence. Because the only baloney is coming from your evidence-free assertions. Items dated by radometric techniques are not dated by any...

    God Recreated the Earth 6,000 Years Ago!

    Those factors only affect C14 dating, they are irrelevant to forms of dating such as Ar/Ar.

    Evolutionists, where, geographically, did man evolve?

    No, creationists are the ones who adhere to nonsense. People who pay attention of reality accept the Theory of Evolution as the best explanation for the diversity of life.

    Any flat earthers here?

    I did read it carefully, and you are still wrong. At no time was there fewer than thousands of living humans. Mitochondrial Eve is just the most recent common ancestor, go further back and there will be a long, long line of common ancestors but at no point in time was there just 1 human female...

    Harsh Truth: If Intelligent Design is Untestable . . .

    And the context for that was scientists who examined the tooth, misidentified it and published scientific papers about it. So a scientist who was not involved in the identification of the tooth and lived in another country helped an artist prepare an illustration that did not purport to be an...
