Dale, of course it was the only part Alan read. Misotheists repeat this like facile argument like a mantra. I answered such nonsense briefly a few years ago. Jonathan Sarfati, Brisbane

It is intertesting, evolutionists state that “the evidence for evolution is overwhelming” yet I must be entirely illiterate or perhaps not reading the right books.
I am interested in all this overwhelming evidence, where is it located?
I was always taught that science is not only observable but is capable of being repeated, to observe where one animal is changing to another form would be fantastic.

Alan,

Naturalistic science says:

“Even if all the data point to an intelligent designer, such an hypothesis is excluded from science because it is not naturalistic.”

That’s not empirical science.

Alan, was that the only part you read?

Dale,
The CMI “What we Believe” page makes the following statement:
“By definition, no apparent, perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the Scriptural record.”

That’s not science.

Dear Bill, at the risk of appearing to be attention seeking, whilst adding to what Dale has offered to Alan, may I also submit the following sites. But may I remind Alan that the greatest discovery a person can make, is not how the universe was formed – even the devil knows that – but the person of Jesus Christ. To spend all one’s time wondering how the Queen planted out the gardens at Buckingham palace, without actually going inside and meeting her personally would be an opportunity lost – maybe forever.

Dear Alan, have a look at www.creationontheweb.com for a comprehensive survey not just of biblical belief but also scientific evidences in support of it. If you do, you will find that biblical creation is not as anti-scientific as some lobbyists try to portray.

Dear Alan, even though I am scientifically illiterate I do know that I am fundamentally different from either a machine or animal, I do know the difference between right and wrong and therefore am responsible for my behaviour and I am capable of forming personal relationships. None of this could have happened by chance . As someone once said about those children’s dot to dot drawings; it’s all about how you join the dots up; you can end up with a donkey when in fact it should have been the Mona Lisa. Maybe evolutionists are not putting the evidence together properly? One thing I do know and that is at the end of time the whole of creation will be wrapped up like a carpet and something new will be created. I Corinthians 2:9 says “ What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him…. “ will be no accident of time plus chance. The blind cruelty of evolutionary humanism is a result of the theory of the survival of the fittest. The hanging of Nazi war criminals at Nuremberg and the judgment of peoples in the Old Testament was as a consequence of a clear eyed need for Justice.

Tommy, are you suggesting that we should all live a world, free of all ideology, Christian, Muslim or Humanist? To live like that would mean that human nature is essentially good and that all we have to do is to hit the breeze and follow our instincts, without ever forming any view of existence? Impossible. In such a formless world where there was neither black or white, up or down, right or wrong, truth or untruth, we like the person in a sense deprivation chamber would rapidly go mad. That would surely be an intolerable situation.

Thanks Tommy
I have edited your overly-lengthy comment, as the story is on the public record now, and is hopefully well known.
I agree with you in your outrage over the stoning of this girl. It shows the dark side of militant Islam, and all the more reason why we need to resist it.
I disagree with you if you are implying that all religions are equal, and Christians too routinely stone to death young girls.
While Muslims might find Koranic justification for such activities, none can be found in the New Testament.
