Object: Re: Is Evolution science?

Regarding your non sequitur claim that [the study of] evolution can
not follow the principles of the scientific method: this is clearly
false. The evolution of life from common ancestors has been proven
beyond any reasonable doubt.

Really?
THE SCIENTIFIC WAY:
1. Observe what happens.
2. Based on those observations, form a theory as to what may be true.
3. Test the theory by further observations and by experiments.
4. Watch to see if the predictions based on the theory come true.
Please tell us who has lived long enough to observe one life form
evolved into another? according to step one, unless you believe the
above is not the scientific way or method.

I have not conducted any research on animals other than great

would be unwise to come to any conclusions about other

stated in a recent post that I took a close look at the

classification

system and it seemed to me to make sense. Those are the

reasons that I

refuse to be drawn into a discussion about how various animals are
classified. One person wanted me to base my conclusions about

two animals

based on how they look. I know that other factors are also

involved in

regard to how animals are classified so I refused to express an

opinion.

apart from the times you said that you believed scientists were

correct

in the rest of the decisions

That's true. When I took a look at the entire classification system, it
made sense. I did not focus on specific animals. The only thing

exception

was the fact that great apes and humans were in the same family.

Yet you've admitted that you don't know enough about taxonomy to give a
meaningful criticism of the decision to put all of the great apes,
including humans, into the same family. Your prejudice against evidence
is extremely inflexible.

I have stated in numerous posts that the bone and fossil EVIDENCE is
very important.

You have also shown that you ignore the evidence that is inconvenient.
If you are committed to using evidence, you have to use all of the
evidence, not just the stuff that you like. You also have to stop
letting yourself be misled by the religious doctrines that you accept.
As long as you claim that Genesis is scientific evidence, you are an
enemy of scientific evidence. The fact that you selectively accept or
ignore the physical evidence, based on your religious beliefs does not
mean that you think that bone and fossil evidence is very important. It
means that you have an agenda, not a commitment to learning.

It's my opionion that some of the advocates of evolution also have an
agenda.

You have demonstrated that your opinion is not based on evidence.


Upon request, I will provide an URL of a website that proves my point.

If you have evidence, point to it. Don't tell us we have to ask. Of
course our experience with your references is that they don't say what
you think they say.


H. McHenry wrote an article about many of the bones that have been
found over the years. He mentioned whether or not various bones supported
evolution theory and the reasons why certain bones supported evolution
theory. It was obvious to me that H. McHenry had an agenda. I asked one of
the other members of this newsgroup to read it and his conclusion was that
H. McHenry did not have an agenda. I concluded that some advocates of
evolution have an agenda and it's so strong that they don't even realize
that they have an agenda.

The agenda is a commitment to evidence and science.


Do you want to read the article?

Is is full of lies like your ICR resources?


No--it was written by an evolutionist. He has an agenda and I doubt that
he realizes it. It was obvious to me when I read his article. However, I
doubt that is would be obvious to very many advocates of evolution since
they also have an agenda.

What do you expect? Of course he has an agenda. Of course everyone here
has an agenda. Some of us believe it necessary to discredit creationism.
Creationists here believe that it is necessary to discredit evolutionary
theory.

Jason

the agenda in the Dover case was that they didn't want people promoting
religion to their children and pretending they were doing so do develop
critical thinking. The evidence showed they lied about their reasons and
the judge acknowledged this

Do you *really* mean that, or are you doing the "creationist shuffle" yet again?
If "they" should not have done that, *why* should the ICR, AIG and the DI do *exactly that*?
Not only *should*, but why do you think that that they felt necessary to do that?

I'm on their side but it does not mean that I agree with everything they
done during the court case.
For example, a fan might be devoted to a professional football team but not
always agree with certain decisions that the coach made during the
game--such as calling plays that caused them to lose the game.

You defend the lie of 'creation science'. You defend the lie of
'Intelligent Design'. The first time you complained about lies from the
religious zealots was when they got caught and publicly rebuked for
their lies. Does this mean that when you said "They should not have done
that," that you meant they should not have gotten caught?

If you have evidence, point to it. Don't tell us we have to ask. Of

you think they say.


H. McHenry wrote an article about many of the bones that have been
found over the years. He mentioned whether or not various bones supported
evolution theory and the reasons why certain bones supported evolution
theory. It was obvious to me that H. McHenry had an agenda. I asked one of
the other members of this newsgroup to read it and his conclusion was that
H. McHenry did not have an agenda. I concluded that some advocates of
evolution have an agenda and it's so strong that they don't even realize
that they have an agenda.


The agenda is a commitment to evidence and science.


Do you want to read the article?


Is is full of lies like your ICR resources?



No--it was written by an evolutionist. He has an agenda and I doubt that
he realizes it. It was obvious to me when I read his article. However, I
doubt that is would be obvious to very many advocates of evolution since
they also have an agenda.

What do you expect? Of course he has an agenda. Of course everyone here
has an agenda. Some of us believe it necessary to discredit creationism.
Creationists here believe that it is necessary to discredit evolutionary

cactus,
Thanks for the above post. It's the best post that I have seen in three weeks.
Believe it or not, many advocates of evolution have an agenda and don't
even realize it. You understand that advocates of evolution have an
agenda. Their agenda was obvious during the Dover case.

Of course some agendas are honest and some are based on lies.
Intelligent Design is one such lie-based agenda. Supporting science is
one that is based on evidence and honesty.

macro-evolution is based on an assumption that life can evolve from

can be no evolution.

You don't even define "microevolution" correctly. As you define it,
it includes macroevolution.

but that
macro-evolution is based on an assumption that life can evolve from
non-life.

Sorry, but that last half of your sentence is an outright falsehood.
Actually, more than one.
1] "macroevolution" even as you misdefined it, says nothing at all
about the origin of life from nonlife. Do you now want to move your
earlier goalposts?
2] "macroevolution" as it's actually defined isn't an "assumption",
but a conclusion from the scientific evidence. Macroevolutionary
change is indeed observed to occur both in the lab and in nature.
3] People with real Ph.D degrees in biology and related fields
would know that your claims about what they know are utterly
bogus. They'll know that there is in fact overwhelming strong
evidence for "macroevolution" as it's correctly defined.
However, they might agree that your brand of "macroevolution" as
however you now define it has nothing to do with science. No
such "macroevolution" is needed, just lots of what you call
"microevolution".

True science is NOT based on assumptions.

If so, you must agree that your "creation science" isn't any
kind of "true science". You've got nothing but assumptions.
[well, assumptions and a deep pile of ICR lies].

You may say that the
creation of life is NOT related to evolution. However, without life there
can be no evolution.

So what? Without a sun and planets there will be no evolution either.
I suppose that means your "evolution" includes the formation of the
solar system? Without heat and light from the sun there will be no
life or evolution, so I suppose nuclear fusion reactions are also
part of evolutionary theory?
Evolution is something that happens to life after life first arises.
It has no requirements as to how that happens. Even if the first
life were supernaturally "poofed" into existence, it will have
evolved ever since.
[Well, actually evolution will first begin with the first
pre-biotic self-replicating molecular systems]
