I'm not judging, I'm making a statement there pal. It makes sense to me, and I'm not afraid to tell anyone what I think. I'm not a feminist, I don't believe everyone should win.

Underlying the evolutionary theory is not just the classic "stuff" of science — conclusions arrived at through prolonged observation and experimentation. Evolution is first an atheistic, materialistic world view. In other words, the primary reason for its acceptance has little to do with the evidence for or against it. Evolution is accepted because men are atheists by faith and thus interpret the evidence to cor-respond to their naturalistic philosophy.

send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

Radical Evolution has 500 million years to find fossils of fictional drawings of (hard core)missing links, yet they find none.

We have not seen such moral darkness since the dark ages, coencides with
teaching evolution in schools. (Moral darkness)

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, EPH 6:12.

"Thus, many scientists embracing naturalism find themselves in the seeming dilemma recently articulated by biochemist Franklin Harold: "We should reject, as a matter of principle, the substitution of intelligent design for the dialogue of chance and necessity [i.e., Darwinian evolution]; but we must concede that there are presently no detailed Darwinian accounts of the evolution of any biochemical system, only a variety of wishful speculations."

I've gone through the post and this is the master list:

Biology – Evolution
Geology/Earth Science – Uniformitarianism
Physics - Speed of light is constant (in a constant medium) / Thermodynamics.
Astronomy - Sun is saying the same size
Chemistry – Natural attraction of chemicals
Cosmology - Big Bang theory, age of universe in general
Linguistics - Language evolution vs. the "tower of babel" story
Anthropology - Longevity of some civilizations
Archeology - Ditto
Computer Science - Genetic algorithms
Philosophy - Truth is absolute and the absolute truth can be discovered by us mere mortals
epidemiology, oncology, parasitology, ecology – Claim no disease before the fall
Meteorology – The Flood

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

No, you've reached many conclusions - you said so yourself. Your "judgement" on these matters is inflexible.

Sorry, Ricky, I know you're trying to get back on track. It's tough, though, to avoid pointing out self-righteous judgemental asses who claim to not be judgemental.

Oh no, don't worry about it Dave. I think we got a pretty good list, I just wanted to put everything together.

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

Whoa, I would not say that to you or anybody else. That's not nice Dave!!! I just don't agree you all, no reason to take cheap shots, and I'm not afraid to express my personal thoughts and views. I think its good to not have everyone on the same page in a public form.

No. You'd rather just
a) Ignore us.
b) Damn us all to hell because we believe in logic and reason and you don't.
c) Pull another crazy idea out of your never-ending fairyland.

Verlch, you can't act like a wolf and then turn into a sheep hoping no one to notice. We are not, "blind as bats".

Your free to believe what ever you want, I'm just expressing my personal view. I never said your going to hell. That's for God to decide. Personally I think hell is this earth and the Devil is the only one that will be punished for ever. Since he started all this. Besides what kind of God would punish his creation forever for not believing in Him. Just another tool the Devil uses to make God look like a monster. Nowhere in the Bible does it say there is a hell that humans go to if they reject the church. I think it was a scare tactic and it hurt the church more than it helped the church. Only God can judge.

I don't think religion should be chatted about over here...
Why not? Why is religion not a legtiimate topic for skeptics to discuss? And is there any particular faith you'd like to not discuss (is that a sentence?).

I think it is an excellent topic due simply to there being so much and various of it. How many major religions are currently followed in the world today, each with at least some conflicting views? And how many minor ones such as Wicca? And how about the bastardation of Christianity as mixed with 'pagan' beliefs as practiced by the decendents of the Maya and other SA indians? Santeria, originating in Africa, migrating to Hati and elsewhere, and now firmly established in parts of the US, should not be discussed?

All of this, plus the fact that there is so much pure myth and magic, and often outright fraud, involved in virtually all of them is reason enough to attract skeptical attention. Surely, you agree.

Got one to add: taxonomy - humans are not animals.

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

Precisely. Meaning you can babble all you want, but you just can't know if Darwin was divinely inspired or not (looking from the fundie point of view), neither can you judge his work or any evolutionist's.
