troubadour,- so what other scenarios do you suggest ,apart from intelligent creator, and blind chance with no one and nothing to chance with?.
but thankyou for conceding that it is unknowable and untestable!
so assuming you have no other alternatives [that could not be subsumed into the two on the table!] we are left with what we can know of repeatable, observable, testable sciences.
and of course, anything popping into existence without some kind of intelligent life effecting such, does not happen, has never been observed.
stu, complaining about me being insulting! please reread your post and realize you are being a hypocrite.
dmcg,- I found myself agreeing with much of your last post, or at least I can see your point. if you can just manage to explain something from that "massive amount of evidence" that cannot also be explained by the creation model , then I will bow out till I can answer it. in the meantime, operative science does not favour the GTE.
