Subject: RE: BS: Young Earth Creationism Eureka!
Steve, listen carefully. I am not saying evolution isn't true; I am saying that the statement "Evolution is true" is meaningless. You seem fairly confused about what it means yourself. In a recent post you said "Evolution is a concept." and "That evolution happens is no longer deniable." within a few sentences. Make up your mind. Which? Is it a "concept" i.e. an idea, a human construct, or is it something that "happens" i.e. part of the natural world? In the same post you said "And by saying that evolution is true I was not even attempting to make "a scientific statement," ". So what were you attempting to do? It sounds rather like a statement of belief to be set alongside "The Bible is true.". (At least that is a meaningful statement even if I don't agree with it.)

I'm not a scientist, just someone who has studied science (including evolution) extensively. Come up and see me sometime; I'll show you my certificates. As for letting Shimrod speak for himself, I suggest you take a look at his posts over the last few days.

(And keep your speculations about my sex life to yourself.)
