so .. 'creationism' is proved false by fossil records, is it?
No! It's all a load of twaddle
Almighty God created the universe [ oh! I must be a 'creationist' ]
There is no evidence to prove that this is not AT LEAST a possibility..
I didn't say that. I said the fossil record is strong evidence of evolution.so .. 'creationism' is proved false by fossil records, is it?
No! It's all a load of twaddle
No, it means you are a theist. The creationist movement is specifically an anti-evolution movement that eschews common ancestry in favour of the belief that life was created "as is" by an intelligence. They are not the same thing. You can be a theist without being a creationist.
I advise you spend more time reading the posts you are responding to in future or you may embarrass yourself again.
Because of the nature of change, which all things appear to go through, the limits themselves gradually change. We know that this takes place because there simply is no other explanation of both the fossil record along with the genome testing results.
No, YOU are mistaken. Young earth Creationism refers only a specific subset of creationists who believe in a literalistic view of Biblical creation, i.e the earth being around 6,000 years old from the time of Adam. Creationism in general within the evolution debate is specifically anti-evolution and holds that species were created separately, and that they don't share common ancestry.No .. you are mistaken. You refer to "young Earth creationists", also known as fundamentalists which Muslims are often called when referring to extremists
What does that have to do with anything I said? Theistic evolution is something else entirely.
Doesn't change the fact that you misread my post and don't understand what creationism is.
Forget it .. you can define creationism however you like.
Aside from the fact that I've never said anything contrary to any of this stuff; why, exactly, does asserting that the Universe was not created make someone a "know-it-all", but asserting that the Universe was created doesn't?Forget it .. you can define creationism however you like.
Almighty God created the universe .. I don't care how He created it and leave other people to argue about that .. particular the 'know it alls' who believe that it WAS NOT created
God could be considered as singular or plural. How do I know that Almighty God hasn't got 300 heads and 500 hands? Have I seen Him?
No, I can't see any form. The concept of God is unique. He created the universe and everything it contains, including mankind.
..so God is not a man, not a creature, not singular or plural, not male or female .. He is God
The addition of god to the TOE is totally unnecessary and, thus, from a view with an eye to parsimoniousness ... about as welcome as excrement on a cake.
Necessary? No. However, believing that a god exists does not automatically mean that the person believes that said god is an active, necessary part of evolution. That's the difference. I have seen some people on here saying that a god is a necessary guiding force of evolution, but I do not hold that to be so. I'm currently convinced that evolution has enough internal control factors of its own to design organisms. A deistic god would seem pretty compatible with vanilla evolution to me, just to mention one.
So, even if we assumed that you were somehow correct on this, how do you know the God created our universe?God could be considered as singular or plural. How do I know that Almighty God hasn't got 300 heads and 500 hands? Have I seen Him?
No, I can't see any form. The concept of God is unique. He created the universe and everything it contains, including mankind.

So, what about people who claim to know that God did create the Universe? Are they "know-it-alls" too? Dawkins isn't nearly as certain in his position as many religious leaders or speakers are.
You were on solid ground until the last sentence, whereas you then blew it!That's right .. same for most things really..
I respect the current scientific opinion, and am interested in finding out why and how it became to be. I don't always agree with everything I read and see, but I evaluate .. we all do really, don't we?
..so we believe something to be useful knowledge and reliable or questionable fact etc.
..anyhow .. The argument of what could be considered a fact mostly depends on what a person believes
Yeah, and he is able to point to actual evidence to support his claims, something the religious never, ever do ... they think bible quotes count as evidence.
