Subject: RE: BS: Special thread on Evolution & religion
yes bill, you could say the same thing, but can you demonstrate your claim to the veracity of evolutionism. it is you who are circling round, just saying it in slightly different ways, and it amounts to appeal to numbers of scientists who you agree with. I am not claiming that everything must be known before a theory can be considered sound, but just saying it is , because you could cite any or all of 379 sites, is not providing any other evidence than that 379 sites say it is true !. I have rarely quoted bible, so that part of your charge is hardly relevant ..straw man , maybe...I have always admitted my faith position. however, I regard it as bolstered by the evidence...according to experimental, observational science....against the evolution story.
if you can bring evidence ,other than appeals to numbers/authority you might make a case, otherwise we will just keep repeating our positions.
I don't mind that too much, as there might be open minded people looking in who can assess which of us has the sounder argument.
at a singaround last week someone [not a practising Christian] commented on the weakness of one of shimrods posts, quite out of the blue.
