too bad that creationists cant tell us whoat it is.
Here's what you're shrinking from like a limp Peter at the Passion:
1. Demonstrate with objective evidence that this deity of yours
exists
2. Demonstrate with objective evidence that this deity of yours is
the only deity there is
3. Demonstrate with objective evidence that this deity of yours
created the universe and life on Earth
4. Demonstrate with objective evidence that this deity of yours is
not a figment of your imagination
Or keep running, you pathetic coward; it's what you do best, after
all.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Bible quotes in support of Bible claims do not
constitute objective evidence and they sure as hell are not positive
scientific evidence for a creation! LoL!
And that's not all: look at this case. On May 11th 2009, I asked
"Andrew-a-Blank", and later extended it to all Usenet creationists to
answer the following questions based on claims that "Andrew-a-Blank"
has made on Usenet. His response? He RAN AWAY and he's been running
ever since.
If you were in trouble and your friend ran instead of helping you,
would you consider that an example of friendship or love? Then how
can "Andrew-a-Blank" pretend he loves his god when he RUNS instead
ofwitnessing?
I've been chasing him for 18 months, and he keeps running like the
stinking diarrhea he is. Here's the list of unanswered questions.
And by unanswered, I mean that creationists have failed to answer
*and* *support* *their* *answer* with independent evidence which would
establish their claim to an impartial audience beyond a reasonable
doubt - just as evolutionists have established their position well
beyond any *reasonable* doubt with 150 years of solid science.
Ask "Andrew-a-Blank" why he's shrinking away like a limp Peter at the
passion instead of witnessing for this god. Obviously he is even
LYING about his love for this fake god of his!
Unmet challenge #1
The challenge I offered you in this thread:
on May 11th 2009, only to see you RUN AWAY.
Unmet challenge #2
Provide *positive*, *scientific* evidence *for* a creation. Not Bible
quotes. Not quotes from creationists or atheists or evolutionists.
Not divine revelation. Not juvenile unsupported ignorant assertions.
Not chants of 'no it isn't!'. Not counter challenges when you haven't
even met ours, but *positive*, *scientific* evidence *for* a creation.
Unmet challenge #3
Provide scientific evidence that shows how DNA is the work of a
creator. Show us this evidence and explain how it demonstrates a
creator.
Unmet Challenge #4
Provide scientific support for your claims that bacteria have never
arisen from anything other than bacteria/life has never arisen from
anything but life.
Unmet challenge #5
Provide scientific evidence in support of the creationist claim that
information cannot be added to a genome, especially in light of the
fact that there is scientific proof that new information does indeed
enter the genome.
Unmet challenge #6
Define scientifically what the "genetic boundaries" ("kinds") are:
specifically what the mechanism is which (according to creationist
claims) prevents one "kind" from evolving into another species over
time.
Unmet Challenge #7
Provide your scientific evidence (as opposed to your LYING,
unsupported bullshit, which has been refuted repeatedly) to support
your creationist claim that life cannot arise from organic chemistry,
when scientists have repeatedly demonstrated that the truth is quite
to the contrary
Unmet Challenge #8
Demonstrate objectively that there's a god out there waiting to judge
me when I die. Otherwise you and your creationist fundie ilk are
nothing but pathetic LIARS and FRAUDS.
Unmet Challenge #9
Demonstrate that we have a soul. Demonstrate scientifically where it
is, how and when it gets into the body, how and when it leaves the
body and what its purpose is.
Unmet Challenge #10
Demonstrate, using independent scientific or objective evidence that
this fictional Jesus isn't fictional and that he literally lived, that
he was literally born of a virgin, that he was literally the son of a
god, that he performed miracles, that he literally died, and that he
came back to life and went to Heaven.

I still, constantly, wonder why anyone listens to this brain washed lunatic.
Its the same for both evolution and creation .. the data is there since the
beginning of time. The difference is that creation is unsupported dogma that
is not derived from evidence, whereas evolution is science.

Creation is an origins model. What you call evolution is the
adaption and variation which God has programmed into the
original creation.
What is your origins model? Is it not a fantasized dogma

So you believe evolution to be correct by the sounds of it .. seeing you
claim god programmed it. But where did the creation part happen? Was that
just the creation of the universe .. and then live and everything else came
from that? Or was there a creation of the first living organism, a then
evolution resulted in the various species? Or were each of the species
created and evolution is only within each species? Which of the many
possibilities you could lump together as 'creation' do you think is correct?

How can there be a ~Creation~ with no ~Creator~ involved?
"Since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-his eternal
power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood
from what has been made, so that people are without excuse."

Absolutely yes, within the 'genetic limits' which God has so ordained.

So you are unable to describe it. Perhaps you are still in the process
of formulating it in your mind. We each have to pursue our journey
of truth, and not to blindly accept all that we have been told.
As an "origins model"? Explain.
What evidence? Post your empirical, objective scientific evidence
right here ------------->
Nonsense.
Again, nonsense. There is no scientifically functioning model for a
creation. Creation is "POOF!" there you go. It is not even remotely
science.

We'd have to start with a primer on how to use Wikipedia first, as you're

just for you.
Y'see, sitting on your fat stoopid ass and demanding everything is

Have you mentioned your findings to the world's biologists? Clearly you
know much more than they do. Andrew you are so incredibly silly. You can
tell us the truth now; your posts are meant to be funny, right?
The theory of evolution does not attempt to explain origins, and your
"model" has absolutely no testable evidence to support it. How many times
has this been pointed out to you? Why do you keep lying?

1. because the history of humanity is littered with invocations of

they've ALWAYS been wrong

Mutations AND defects?
No.
Defects, yes.
The great majority of mutations are selection-neutral.
The average newborn human comes along with 100-200
mutations. If you were correct, the human race would
be extinct.

Excellent point: you have dishonestly front-loaded the discussion

That's formally known as "Assuming the conclusion",
and is recognized as a fallacious -- and dishonest, if

And not one of you proselytizers here has ever been able
to answer when asked: even if we accept that, what in the
world would ever convince us that your tribal god of a small
nomadic Bronze age band was that "all powerful Creator"?
Even if someone were aching to find such a Creator
to believe in, and were to read the Pentateuch for the
first time in his life, he' quickly conclude that the hot-tempered
bloody-handed grudge-holding genocidal and all-too-human
god portrayed there was no more up to the job than
Raven or Coyote or Pangu (who Created Everything
by smashing the Cosmic Egg open with His broadax)

Beg pardon? You are thinking that someone, somewhere merely

There is textual evidence, recorded eye witness accounts, and ancient
tradition.
Your lack of knowledge is showing. They have their own version of
Rom1.20
Simply writing about something doesn't prove that it exists.
Eye witness testimony is frequently unreliable.
Just because a thing is traditional doesn't mean it is right.
given the fact that many buddhists dont believe in god
and many hindus have thousands of gods
'romans' is not believed by most people
sorry, creationists.
all of which show evolution is a fact
and we have eyewitnesses TODAY in labs across the world showing the
mechanism of evolution is a fact

Oh? Well then, kindly enlighten me -- what is the

Is it somewhere in the Eddas, too? Do the Inuit
