This man Richard Dawkins says evolution is corrosive to creationism?
yet in his video, he will only take on the old 6 thousand year christian
believers. Not the new more scientific christian scientists.

what do the real christian scientists believe? well I can explain it in a short form.
they believe in the theories starting from the big bang all the way to us being here.
only difference is they believe there was a creator that created the rules of biology
to thermal dynamics, and DNA, that all these things did not just happen on it's own.


while Richard Dawkins and Darwin have no clue as to explain how biology, DNA etc
got started from chance, except to say "If given enough time anything can happen"
which is way out there on the faith scale.

So the beliefe in a creator is going to be with us as long as it takes to prove he
does or does not exist, if that is possible.

So everything he says is mute.

moot.

real christian scientists believe in reality at work and fantasy on sundays.

because you dont have an answer to something doesnt mean you can just make it up and expect people to believe it. theres nothing wrong with admitting you dont know something...

I thought you said this was wonderful talks by intelligent people?

There are no new creationists. They are all the same with the same boring non-arguments.

The people you are talking about are not creationists. They are more like deists.

No one at present can say how simple self-replicating molecules originally looked like, but everyone can say that they obviously appeared within a few hundred million years after the Earth was formed. And Evolution of course explains the rest.

Uh, there is no need for any magical creator and there is every reason to suppose that more and more people will understand this. Perhaps even you.

because you dont have an answer to something doesnt mean you can just make it up and expect people to believe it. theres nothing wrong with admitting you dont know something...


So if nether side can answer all the questions about the origin of life, then why do
people like Richard Dawkins act like they have a hart on for people who believe in
a creator? Might it just be that Mr. Dawkins is a bigot? a man with a hate for all
things godly? might we say he is against people having rights to believe???

after all he can have his way, and say evolution is true, because it maybe
but the real question is who created the rules we see in biology?
he believes it just happened by chance, while we believe there was
a creator that started the ball rolling.

The part about how the big bang started is moot really and may take man billions
of years if ever to prove or disprove, so why get pissed at that part?

his motive is what I put into question.

No one knows how the first self-replicating molecule looked like or how it arose, at present. We do however know that it must have arisen within a few hundred million years after the Earth was formed. I've aleady told you why we know this.

No one created the rules in biology, as there are no rules except the physical laws.

Darwins great insight was not a new physical force or law.

Please pick up any book on why we know the things we do, and read it.
