Let me sum up the essence of the proof:
1. We know world exists.
2. Therefore, world exists, for if it had not existed, it would not
had been created.

Let me also prove the creator wasn't supernatural. We will use the
method called "proof by contradiction".
1. Assume a supernatural god exists.
2. Therefore, it must have created the universe, since we have already
proven it was created.
3. But, if a supernatural god exists, it falls outside the realm of
science.
4. Then, from (2) it follows that the universe is also supernatural.
5. If the universe is supernatural, then it can not be measuired with
scientific method. We have a contradiction.

So, there goes your logic. This is the essence of cdesign
proponentsism.

I think Eugene is on the side of darkness, i.e. reason and empiricism.

For my primary evidence, I submit his use of the term "cdesign
proponentsism", which I believe no Creationist could willingly post or
utter.


But that's just my belief...

Haven't you heard of proof by contradiction (AKA reductio at absurdum,
AKA indirect proof). It assumes an opposite hypothessis to what are
you trying to prove, and then derives a contradiction from it.

Cdesign proponensism embraces absurdism as one of its foundations.

This articulation is not correct. Perhaps you mean the Universe,
for the world is our planet. Then, we identify the place we live
as the world.
Then, if we exist, there exists also the world, whatever it is.

But that mere fact that the world exist, does not prove it was
created. This is anthropomorphic concept, to create. The idea
comes from living beings doing things, like borrow a hole in
the ground, or to build a hut, or to cut a stone to build a wall,
or to take some vegetables to make a rope, or string, etc.

Then, whatever the world is, or whatever its size, it is the place
where we are living and this all we can know; nothing else.
Unless you start developing some astrophysics.

You have not proven anything.
There is not any reason to believe a god exists.

In the same way that theist cannot explain why god exist, or what
is the cause of god existence, unless you tell me, "god exists,
because humans invented god, for several reasons."

Then, this planet exist, and we have an astrophysical idea at how
a planet formed.
But the basic concept of the Universe, how matter exists, the
electrons, protons, neutrons, neutrinos, etc. including some
forms of matter not yet seen, or observed, is unknown. Science
is unable to explain how matter exists, even if they speak about
the big bang. Even if the big bang is real, science is unable
to say from where came out all the matter of the big bang
explosion.
Then, this is not so different to the theist that cannot explain
how a god exist, what is its cause, or it is eternal.


You have not proved anything.

I like 'borrow a hole in the ground'.
If I'd known you could do that, I would have saved a lot of time digging
holes.

Of course, as I just demonstraded. Proof by contradiction works by
assuming the opposite of what are you tring to prove and showing it
leads to a contradiction. Here I have shown that god does not exist
because the existence of godis logically inconnsistent.

Out of curiosity, have indications of any apes besides _Homo_ been found

Fossilised bones of Australopithecus have been found in cave deposits.
This is not treated as an indication that Australopithecus was
cave-dwelling. (The model I recall is that leopards cached prey in trees
growing around swallowholes, and sometimes it fell in.)

Gigantopithecus fossils also come from caves.

Sorry, man. There is only a few years that I had started to write
in English. Then, I am not aware of the most common mistakes. Then,
as I am writing faster than I should, I cannot avoid to commit some
errors.

It is obvious English is not my mother tongue. I started to learn it
when I was 30, but never had a former training to write correctly.
Nevertheless, the spelling corrector calls me when I commit some errors,
unless in case like this, in which I mistook "burrow" with "borrow",
that to me sounds about the same. I had not heard much spoken English
to discern the difference. I am learning spoken English by hearing
some videos downloaded from youtube.

As for my writing abilities, I cannot believe I had learned so much,
in such sort time. I had even writing stories and had received countless
praises for my stories. Of course, these stories had less errors, for
I had more time to revise and correct my errors. But here I am a little
careless and to do not revise my messages.

Then, by burrowing of holes I was thinking about rabbits or moles digging
a hole underground. This is a form of creation, like a man making a hut,
or something.

Sorry, Ron. I committed a silly mistake. I was thinking about
rabbits and moles. But I composed very badly the phrase. These
are the problems of an ignorant writing too fast.
So far, Humans are also known for having lived in caves, specially
in the most colder climates.


To write correctly is a problem of developing the correct reflexes.
Then, I had been writing in English during the last five years.
But I am 74 years old, and old age is not the best time to learn
to write correctly in a foreign language.

Trolling is by nature an occupation for morons (my
evaluation, which in the absence of contrary evidence shall
be considered valid), so if the shoe fits, as it seems to...

And while the email address is contrived (to prevent exactly
the sort of thing I assume you tried), the name is real.

Typos are a natural consequence of typing posts. Everybody does them.
Obviously spellcheckers help, but not in cases where the typo mutates
the word into another equally valid word. And sometimes typos add
unintended witticisms or puns, as in this case.

Now if you want to talk about real mis-stakes, just ask me.

It's not a "religion"; whatever gave you that silly idea? As
I said, it's a personal decision based on experience, and is
not open to "correction", by you or anyone else.

That clarified, this is Usenet, and is about public fora,
not private communication; you might want to write that on
the back of your hand for future reference.

While you are welcome to your "thoughts" they influence

I'd ask what facts, but don't know what "CP" refers to. Perhaps you
meant CD for Common Descent?

If you have something to say why can't you just say it with examples or
other specific information sufficient to figure out what you're talking
about?

I would be happy to provide evidence for common descent - if you will
agree to explain why or how creationism better explains the evidence.

I was just having a little fun. Typos happen all the time and we
often have intentional pun cascades in threads. I could not
communicate in any language except English because that is the only
language that I know. If someone spelled something wrong in German or
Russian I wouldn't even know it. We were just playing around with the
difference between word definitions. To borrow is to temporarily
acquire something from another person. Cavemen did temporarily borrow
caves (holes in the ground), but other apes do not seem to do that.
You meant to type burrowing. We all knew that.

No other critique was meant to be made, and I didn't consider the
language difference and how it might be misinterpreted so I
apologize.

To most people spelling errors and typos are not something to worry
about. I was just trying to be humorous continuing something that
Ragnar started. My own post had "thinik" in it and someone could have
rolled over on something like they don't like to thinik anything about
what cavemen used to do with their spare time.

God does not go by man's logic, it is not possible since God created time dinosaurs and cavedwellers long before he created humans.

Man must therefore at least try to understand God's thinking when it comes to explaining those things that where created before man.

I have studied God's thinking an offer the following for a possible concept for the basis of God's time.

according to Jesus there is a strong support that there are 7 seal which represent 7 earth ages, and each earth age is made up of 49 generations, these 49 generations seem to be the foundation of God's concept of time.

If 1 generation in the first earth age = 4,000,000 years and in the last earth age 1 generation = 4 years, this equation would produce a time-line that would be supported by recent scientific discoveries in carbon dating. This concept of God's time would be supported by 40 years per generation in the 6th earth age, however, it would give great support to the 400 years per generation given to the 5th earth age and God's meaning to the terms "Times" as written in Daniel 2:21, in which God changed "Times", changed time from what to what. God changed it from 400 years per generation to 40 years per generation. And God changed the 7th earth age from 4 years per generation to half that.

(1) "Cavedwellers" [sic], for the most part, *were* human, if not

objective, verifiable evidence) that *any* "god" exists? Including

You've got to provide evidence that a god exists *before* I try to
understand it's thinking. Which is a freakin' ridiculous idea,
anyway. If there really is a being that qualifies as a "god," there's
no way that a mere mortal human could "understand" its "thinking."

CP must stand for atheists in the "Communist Party"; since, in general
"cdesign proponentists" attempt to hide who they believe the IDer
actually is. Most IDists want it to be their conception of a deity
and some like to pretend they are neutral. Then there are the
thoroughly confused who can't offer a scientific explanation but
assert "truth" which obviously they alone are conveniently privy to.

This is it! A "bored biologist" is your assertion about the source of
all of earths life history.

And to top it all you assert "CP states truth in opposition to
facts." So the truth is "most likely the designer is a bored
biologist." So we can all accept this truth and not search for
explanations for life on earth but instead look to the other planets,
galaxies for "bored biologists."

Damn what a brilliant observation. Why didn't some bored biologist
think of it? Or are you one?
