No, it's because your point was wrong.

No reputable scientist would say such a thing so it's a meaningless

question.

No.

Get a clue. You've already admitted that abiogenesis happened.

 

John Baker: Actually, Jason, abiogenesis is an absolute proven fact.

Whether it came about through divine intervention or by purely natural

means, at some point in the planet's history, life did arise from

non-life. We both agree on that. We just disagree about how it happened.

 

Jason: Excellent point.

 

#1 should be "natural causes."

OK, any evidence that a god exists to have done this designing? Also how

did this god come about?

And who caused them to come to be?

And that's why he wouldn't have said what you tried to make him say.

No, you've claimed that but you're only proving that YOU are the one who

doesn't have a clue as to the difference.

Why do you come up with these fantasies and expect us to comment on

them? It's about as useless as asking "who is faster, superman or the

flash?"

The original question was:

 

"Is that why your creation 'scientists' sign a pledge that if science

produces evidence that the bible is wrong then that evidence is to be

ignored?"

 

NOTHING was said about peons who get the newsletter having to sign the

pledge. It was said that those 'scientists' (and I use that word as

loosely as possible here) have to sign it before they can work for the

place. Do you work for them and submit articles to be published by them?

It is quite obvious that he does work for them and is only here to

promote their website. The only question is whether or not he is

actually getting paid and if he is under contract and, if so, if he is

in fact the same Jason all along or if we just get a new one every

month reading from the same script. "There is no evidence for

evolution. Evidence for creation science can be found at the ICR

site" etc.

That's exactly what I said.

Thus far no evidence so it wouldn't even make it to the DA, much less to

trial.

 

They found

This IS physical evidence. What, exactly, do you think evidence is?

 

So at one point you say there is none and then you say there is some.

Which is it?

 

I would have believed the testimony of the witnesses.

> I would have found him guilty.

 

Based on what? The evidence or the lack of evidence? And again, if there

was NO evidence (no body, no gun, etc.) there wouldn't eb a trial to

begin with.

Jason's also ignoring that there'd be OTHER physical evidence such as a

marriage license showing that there was a wife to begin with, freshly

worn clothing with female DNA on it showing that there had been a woman

in the apartment recently, etc. There's never going to be any murder

case that even makes it to trial SOLELY based on someone (or even

several someones) saying "we heard him say he was 'going to kill her',

we saw him carrying a gun and we heard a gunshot."

It is possible to believe in everything about evolution itself, and still

believe there was some external creating entity that either created the

universe initially and/or caused life to first emerge. Evolution really

only kicks in once there is life and a process in place for selection and

mutation to take place.

 

So its not incompatible .. but not necessarily reasonable .. to believe in

some sort of creator that did his job and then let nature (his creation)

take its course (see deism).

Just as you believe your god to be true and others false, everyone else

believes their gods true and your god false. If you go by majority

decision, EVERY god must be false :)

If you do, what is the basis for that belief? Is there any more evidence

that god created the solar system and life and that it was not an invisible

space pixie that did it?

 

BTW: Did your particular god create anything outside the solar system .. was

it just the solar system, or the galaxy, or our particular clump of

galaxies, or .... ?

I don't do that. I've got a bunch of copies of religious texts and

ancient tales, even a few more modern ones from Elron, Mary Baker Eddy

and Joseph Smith. Most of those stories are great as long as you don't

start to deceive yourself about them as Jason has done.

And those are the cases that have been giving the Innocence Project

almost as much work as prosecutorial abuse. My problem with Jason isn't

that he's likely to vote guilty, but that he wants to vote guilty

because he thinks its important to convict _someone_ of the crime. He

doesn't actually care if the person convicted actually did the crime.

Sure, that was necessary, but no sufficient. Had the cops done their

jobs properly and the DAs office not screwed up, even OJ wouldn't have

gotten off. He lost quite handily in the civil suit.

He says he had to listen to it. He didn't say he had to understand it.

Yes, it will take much less time for a living cell to be formed,

probably a few weeks for a multi-step process, including the various

reactions and isolation steps involved.

That is true. Many mistakes were made by the cops.
