Do you think gravity is real?

ETA: Meaning, do you think we can explain it?

You hear "theory of evolution" and say, "see, just a a theory". You're missing the reality that the term "theory of evolution" refers to HOW evolution happened, not whether evolution happened. Whether it happened is most certainly FACT.



Bravo. The theory of evolution can make precise and outlandish predictions and then see those predictions proven. So in a sense, yes it has been proven.

It's just so ironic to me that these atheists all talk of their superior intellect but can't grasp the concept that Genesis is over 3000 years old. Did you want Noah to explain quantum physics to people that couldn't read or write? Genesis chapter 1 cannot be taken in its complete literal sense. Scientific theory freely acknowledges that it cannot address the supernatural because it is untestable. Science and faith are two completely different entities.

I actually say this all the time. It would absurd to think that even if a creator spoke to Noah, that he would've started talking about universal expansion and shite. He probably would've left out the details.

So why is science vs God even a topic?? Both sides of this argument are completely nuts.

In this discussion I have not
1)made overreaching judgements of a persons intellect
2) challenged biblical assertions
3) stated that I was an atheist.

But keep on keeping on, martyr.

Considering I wasn't addressing you, I think you know where you truly stand on this.

Meh. I just jumped in the last page or so.

I simply find the ID folks funny because they seem to think that ID has something to do with the God of their Bible when even if they could 100% PROVE ID, it would say literally ZERO about the God of their Bible.

Moreover, it would have absolutely no bearing on any Scientific theories as the fact is, the existence of a creator under ID doesn't preclude that creator from doing absolutely everything via the methods theorized.

But, finally, ID also doesn't say squat about if that creator gives two hoots about the insignificant little beings in some Galactic suburb in one out of billions of Galaxaies.

Basically, it's completely irrelevant and IDers act like it's some sort of important thing.

Like I said, ID really looks like a thing two atheists would discuss. Maybe one atheist would say, "I wonder if somehow, some highly evolved being that exists in more than 3 dimensions caused this shite"???

Why can't an ID'er be speaking in terms of their own God?

I find people that say God can't exist because of science to be equally as funny. If you actually read the Bible it's very clear that it doesn't try to explain scientific matters. Creation isn't 1% of Christianity, but it's all that atheists and their polar opposite zealots cling to. The whole thing is very sad because the much bigger picture is lost in this minutia.

I can't speak for others, but I don't say "God can't exist" and I definitely don't say "God can't exist because of Science".

I'm merely atheist and not the "oh God, please don't pray in front of me cause I'll be offended" kind.

They can be. I'm merely observing that proving ID says NOTHING regarding that God.

It's like some odd side door to talking about the God of the Bible when nothing about proving ID actually does that.

You think the entire atheist argument is dependent on solely the creation story?

Well, while I agree speaking in absolutes is folly, God is as likely to be real as any other work of fiction that evidence doesn't exist to actually refute. But that's why this argument is ridiculous...with God, we are somehow supposed to prove he doesn't exist when the burden of proof is truly the other way around.
