The important thing is to have a layered defense that is impervious to both reason and facts.

What evidence do we have that there are more "white Christians" converting to Islam than there are people converting in the other direction? Do you have any figures? This white non-Christian would be very interested to know if there is a net movement in either direction. Let's find out if there...

Where'd rhutchin get to? Is he a drive-by shooting style of creationist?

There are parts of the universe, especially living things, that sometimes look more like they were designed by a committee.

God has foibles? Perish the thought!

The discussion won't ever be over, however, because neither question is answerable. There is no way to tell the difference between an artifact of conscious design, and one that is a product of natural processes that you don't understand yet. After all, there's nothing to stop God from designing...

I think the point, for IDers, is to have as many arguments as possible, even if they are not compatible with each other. They don't actually care how far back God inserted his "wafer of creation" as long as they can argue that he did so.

I think the fine-tuning argument is one of the arguments for intelligent design. Intelligent design isn't an argument per se; it's a conclusion that arguments like the fine-tuning argument supposedly lead to. Fine-tuning is just another variant of the watchmaker argument. Somebody else had...

Perhaps you're right, because it says "Religions vs. Science" instead of "Religion vs. Science". "Religions" means some religions, but not necessarily all religions. In any case, as you say, any religion that makes verifiable or falsifiable claims about the natural world had better do its...

I think I'll start a movement to demand that we "teach the controversy" about phlogiston. Enough of Lavoisier and his Oxygen bullshit.

I am a Unitarian Universalist and have heard a bit about this incident. My understanding is that the officiating minister told the protestors that if they could not join respectfully in the service, they would have to leave. Apparently several were escorted out by lay officers of the church...

The title of this forum, "Religions vs. Science", assumes that all religions are creedal, i.e. that every religion consists of a set of doctrines about matters natural and supernatural, and that "faith" is dogmatic acceptance of those doctrines. But this is really only true of the Middle...

Today's rich seem to be doing everything they can to prove Karl Marx right about capitalism. This can't possibly end well.

There is no evidence that there ever was an Ark, and the proposed timeframe for the Ark does not provide anywhere near enough time for the mega-evolution that would be required to provide the observed diversity of life from the highly compressed, limited number of "kinds" that would fit on the...
