    Are Atheist parents ‘Mini Gods’?

    No its not a problem against bringing other beings into existence. It is only a problem for claims of a loving god. If God was claimed to be indifferent or malevolent then its just the issue of evil. Even if we accept that there is a "Problem of Evil" its not an argument that the world is all...

    Here's your chance: Stump the Creationist

    What is a Biblical "Kind" and (as we are being friendly) roughly how does it translate to the terms used in the biological definition of species and in phylogentics?

    Creationist - What about Evolution you disagree with?

    No he did not. He proposed relatively long periods of almost no change and relatively short periods of change. http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/2381883-post1843.html You need to read Origin before you attempt to criticise it, otherwise you will just keep making foolish and ignorant claims.

    What does the fossil record say?

    Stop repeating this lie. Using a similar comparison method that you use to get the 0.5% for humans, i.e. SNPs and CNVs the difference between humans and chimps is 3.97% as your own source indicates. Darwin hypothesised only gradualism did he? No, you are misrepresenting the facts again here...

    Creationist - What about Evolution you disagree with?

    Because that is what the evidence points to. ToE is massively supported by evidence. You are mistaken, because ToE in no way relies on the Big Bang Theory being true. There are no credible facts to support anuthing other than ToE. Chemistry. You do realise that non-living matter and living...

    Face of God or Coincidental Cloud Formation?

    I don't see a face in that picture at all. My thoughts? Pareidolia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Creationists: Where the hell are you?

    They come to forums such as this, have their arguments demolished by actual evidence and then leave. The creationist population of evolition/creationism forums tends to have a very low number of creationists as its hard to defend the indefensible. However I must point out that there are...

    Creationist - What about Evolution you disagree with?

    Or the ability to digest citrate.

    What does the fossil record say?

    No, eveything is ok in the evolution camp, its just your massive ignorance of science that makes you think otherwise. The ancestors of Aves would have been similar to Aves and would have left footprints similar to those of Aves, that we find birdlike footprints predating the oldest aves fossil...

    To defeat creationist, must you defeat their religion????

    Except that fundie creationist christianity is very much an american abberation in the western hemisphere. In Europe, even in countries that are majority christian, the acceptance of evolution and the rejection of YEC and OEC is much, much higher then in the US. An evolution denying politician...

    gene for homosexuality

    There is no one single gene for homosexuality, however the evidence is overhwelming that homosexuality has a genetic basis. The genetic basis is the product of a combination of certain alleles in certain genes, which is why its been so difficult to pin down which genes are involved. It looks...

    What does the fossil record say?

    Why are creationists so incapable of using the quote function. Yes I did, just as I heard about the other aquatic organisms that give old radiocarbon ages. There is a reason for this which ignorant creationists like to pretend does not exist. Radiocarbon dating works on carbon in living and...

    What does the fossil record say?

    A lie. Its based on physics. Lie. None of this compromises radiometric dating and even if it were possible for radioactive decay rates to alter to the degree you need to support creation that does not help you one iota because the fossils still show the same sequence by relative date as by...

    What is a 'theory' ?

    Ah the good old tactic of pretending that other members are not worthy of interacting with the great mind of the poster when the truth is that the poster is just incapable of rebutting the posts that demolish their garbage. A dose of fantasy mixed in with a pinch of hubris and a big measure of...

    What does the fossil record say?

    Don't forget that he admitted that for ID to be considered science the definitions would have to be altered to such a degree that Astrology would also then be considered scientific.

    Sciences as a religion.

    No, science is based on evidence.

    Does the Universe need a Cause?

    And they are demonstrably wrong. The weak nuclear force can be reduced and even removed completely and different values of the other 3 forces that govern how atoms form would still give exactly the same universe as we see today. Therefore the universe is not fine-tuned, it just exists with one...

    What does the fossil record say?

    Just to give the full context. What Dawkins actually wrote was: "Evolution is a fact. Beyond reasonable doubt, beyond serious doubt, beyond sane, informed, intelligent doubt, beyond doubt evolution is a fact. The evidence for evolution is at least as strong as the evidence for the Holocaust...

    What is a 'theory' ?

    No you are not nit-picking. You are just plain wrong. Evolution (the change in allele frequencies of a population over time) is an observed fact. It is proven. You are mistaking evolution with the Theory of Evolution. Even if ToE were overturned tomorrow its replacement would stil have to...

    What does the fossil record say?

    Your bloodline dies out. Your brothers (and your parents) continues. So your own 100+ mutations in your DNA is gone from the population when you die. This also shows that while you have survived you have not yet reproduced. Can you understand this?
