I know, amazing how I accept physical evidence over religious guesswork. If anything, I am a public education success.

These scientists would ask how evolution was possible without a "creator" to make it all happen.

Just because one happened, it doesnt mean the other one also didnt. Its not an either/or scenario
Wow, so you mean that some scientists are religious? Hey, did you know the sun rose today too?

Why is it surprising to you that there are otherwise intelligent, rationale people who leave it all at the door when it comes to religious views? I thought you were an agnostic?

The Bible supports a geocentric, flat earth, so it's obvious you're nothing but a cherry picker.
The Bible most certainly does not support a "geocentric, flat earth". The fact that men decided it must be true based on their own observations (not unlike Darwin and his stupid evolution myth) is the issue.

This gets old. It's a common theme among you guys....if you're not able to come up with a real argument you just call us stupid and hope no one notices you're failures. Please try to be more tolerant of others. You'll go farther in life.

Thanks, I know that already. That wasn't the argument.

Here is a prime example..

The theory of evolution says that humans evolved from monkeys. Is there undeniable proof that we have? I dont believe so, and without this evidence, I'd say thats a very big crack, wouldnt you?

Not one person here has said religion is correct and that evolution is wrong.

My 10 year old son could tell you its a theory, you dont know that?
Do you know what a theory is in scientific context? This idea that something cannot be both a fact or theory or that fact is above theory (ironic considering that a scientific theory must be supported by many facts and explanations for the mechanisms behind these facts) is simply scientific illiteracy.

The evidence for the theory of evolution certainly does not qualify it to be called a scientific fact. Indeed, as science has progressed Darwinists have had to retreat completely out of the scientific arena into unfalsifiable positions or resort to contradictory models to deal with special problems. The smorgasbord of competing hypothesis that are left should not even qualify as a scientific theory, much less a fact. Again, ReMine is insightful: "1) Life systematically lacks a pattern of fine-gradations of fossils joining disparate lifeforms together. 2) Life systematically lacks a pattern of clear-cut ancestors and lineages joining disparate lifeforms together. 3) Experimental demonstrations, in the laboratory and in the field, systematically fail to demonstrate a plausible naturalistic origin of our disparate lifeforms. Let me emphasize that these are three separate, independent, failures for evolutionary theory... Any one of these three areas would be sufficient to establish evolution as a fact. Yet the systematic, independent failure of ALL THREE shouts that evolutionary theory is wrong." (From a private correspondence, used with permission, 1999.)

I'm not even a person who believes in creatism and I stand here educating you on why you are wrong anyways
LOLOLLOL!!!

Your source is called Genesis Park????? And you say you are not religious? Pull the other one....

Did you even read what you copied and pasted from that religious site? It proves you don't even know what evolution is.

They must really, really be afraid of him, because they are going full tilt trying to damage him.

Um...yeah....The "theory" of Evolution.

Didn't they teach you this in grade school?
Did they teach you what a scientific "theory" is?

Where did you go to school again? Makes me question your claims of a school success. They DONT leave it at the door no more than a preacher leaves their scientific knowledge at the door when they enter a church.

If you accept that creationism is a scientific theory, than you are now admitting that evolition is not a fact, but also a theory.

bingo.
Are you high? That makes no sense at all.
