Natural Science 301 Guidelines
This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.
As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

What you cited in Ken Ham's nonsense and not science. In his AIG pledge and the debate with Nye he unequivocally affirms that any science that conflicts with his literal interpretation of the Bible must be rejected.Last edited by shunyadragon; 02-09-2014, 07:02 AM.

Next time he asks where you live just ask him how he got his so called diploma. It works real well.
mouth shut when you don't know what you're talking about.
Furthermore, you're practicing the ad hominem strategy - shame on you!

Scientism is a valid description of the view that natural science is the only true science, which I think some atheists seem to believe: http://biologos.org/blog/series/monopolizing-knowledge There actually have been atheists who claim philosophy isn't a good way to discover things about reality because it's not science like natural sciences such as biology.Last edited by Christy; 05-15-2014, 02:53 PM.

If Christian Biologist are informative and relevant they are relying in Methodological Naturalism and scientific methods of falsification in the physical world, unfortunately some Christian scientist rely on selective parsing of evidence to create a warped view of science to justify their theological beliefs.

"Ken Ham" ...
Yeah, their goal is to discredit and they employ shady tactics to do so.
The title of this thread is "Is the Theory of Evolution a Religion?" My answer had been, No, it isn't.
But to many it is undoubtedly a PART of their religious position, be that position
Atheistic-Humanistic, Deistic, or even Theistic. That's really all that needs to be said on this.
Ultimately it doesn't matter, 'these people' (they know who they are) will wait until
memories fade and then they'll dust off the cobwebs and repeat their nonsense all
over again - just as R06 did to start this thread. Do 'these people' really think that
some of us aren't noticing their shenanigans?

in fact, in the short time I've been here, I've learned that in nearly every case, you do the same - make bombastic proclamation re: the errors of others, pretending that you are above actually explaining what they are.
Pretty funny that you seem to think that sort of snake oil works on non-pew warmers.
Nah ... I've much better things to do with my time. Speaking of which, I've been working on Information Theory for quite some time now (but a good chunk remaining). Stay tuned ... I'll let you guys know when I'm ready to publish.

Which is to say, utterly worthless. Which vanity press are going with?
