Giggle Giggle Jamie, but I hope with that last post, you see my point. I could even blatently describe the trap I was laying, and someone still walked into it.

Dare to challange your beliefs

ok....

So you basically don't actually know anything about this topic then?

It's kinda like I predict you will respond soon when I say "Global Warming hysteria  ::takingphoto::is a leftist plot to convert us all into socialist", even thought I have blatantly described the trap.

 

What is righteousness?

The video said that scientists think chance made the first cells.  This is inaccurate because chance isn't a cause, it is a measure of how predictable an outcome is.

Scientists reject young earth creation ideas for the same reasons they outright reject flat earth ideas.  It is a bias, a very strong bias against pseudo science.  Evolution explains all of the facts and observations about life.  It makes useful predictions that have been repeatedly tested and have been shown to be true, and it has practical uses in many areas of science including medicine.

Intelligent design, young earth creationism, or whatever you want to call it has never made a single prediction, has never produced any scientific breakthroughs of any kind, ever, and there is plenty of evidence that directly contradicts it.

I'm not even sure why people debate this issue.  Are our education systems that poor that people don't understand current scientific progress?

That is correct.  And I think even the most dedicated evolutionist understands now that the chances of spontaneous initiation of life on earth is so small as to be zero.


I could be wrong, but it is not evolution which you are describing there.  Rather it is simply good solid biological science.  That is not the evolution that supposedly has produced man from a single cell life form.


ID and YEC are not the same thing.  The evolutionist tends to want to make them the same because it is easy to debunk YE types but not so with ID.  The main reason I believe that they reject ID is not so much because it ultimately looks to God as the initiator, but because it continues to ask very legitimate questions which the evolutionist can not answer.


Yes our education systems are very poor.  But it is not because they have failed to teach evolution as a science.  The debate is because they have taught it as science.  They have treated a plausible explanation as fact.  Moreover, any alternative plausible explanation is rejected.  They hypothesize that life on earth began  spontaneously outside of earth even though there is absolutely no evidence of.   Note that they have, for the most part, given up on the idea that life began spontaneously on earth.
