FSTDT Quotes for September 2003

Quote# 4377

Your posts indicate you to be an intelligent person so I have to believe you understand the truth in this. So either you have for so long been dishonest about this whole thing that you have actually lied yourself into really believing all that malarky, or you know full well it [evolution] is garbage and just insist on it because 'it has to be true' or else your faith fails and you are desperate to hold onto it. Even if it means sacrificing real science in the name of your faith.

Quote# 4376

How about you produce a human from a primate. You choose. Any primate. Have at it and get back to me. ;) Seriously, evolve me something. Not a fly from a fly or dog from a dog, but a real evolution like is required for your 'theory'. Primate to human, lizard to bird, cow to whale, fish to frog, reptile to mammal. I want to OBSERVE it happen, see the TEST results, and be able to REPRODUCE it. Those are, after all, the steps of the Scientific Method. Anything less would fall outside science and into philosophy (or science fiction).

Quote# 4375

Not seeing cells has nothing to do with not seeing flying pigs. Just because one exists has no bearing on the other. Your major stance in this whole thread is comparing two things which have no bearing on each other. If electrons do or do not exist has no relavance to evolution, the big bang, etc. Give it up. You may be able to fool a grade school student with this nonscense, but its not getting you anywhere here.

Quote# 4374

hmmmm... you observed chromosomes, made a[n extremely unlikely] perdiction on chromosomes [using evolution], tested the chromosomes and repeated the test on chromosomes [with remarkable success]. Cool, now observe, test and repeat evolution. Chromosomes are not evolution.

Quote# 4373

That [indirect observation and testing] is a goofy loophole those desperate to condone their faith try to allow. But it is dishonest and false. If you follow the scientific method you must observe something and test. If you test DNA you have a theory on DNA. If you test isotopic decay you can have a theory on isotoipic decay. If you test red shifts you can get a theory on red shifts. You do not test DNA and all of a sudden have evolution.

Quote# 4372

Further, it [evolution] doesn't meet any of the qualifications of the Scientifuic Method except maybe being able to make a hypothesis (which is to come AFTER observation so its arguable not even that is valid).

Quote# 4371

If the idea of electrons are based as loosely on stories that fit intrepretations of evidence as the big bang and evolution, then I would be as skeptical. But I have no reason to believe this as I have not researched it.

Quote# 4370

This is what science does. When it hits the supernatural wall, it searches for a way around it. It has been successful so far, I'm sure it will continue to do so. In my opinion, it will be at the cost of many souls.

Quote# 4369

I don't believe there was a Big Bang... But I do believe that there may have been a central starting point and everything is expanding and moving away from each other.

Quote# 4368

This [detectable, specific, predictable effects of the Big Bang and evolution] is not the same... None of these prove anything, we just interpret it to mean whatever. An eyewitness account or a test tube full of 'starter stuff' would help immensely.

Quote# 4367

We continue to observe <u>the effects of</u> electrons, enough to believe to a high degree of certainly they exist. One cannot observe the beginning our our universe." [Emphasis added]

Quote# 4366

And no we cant observe planets and stars being formed, it takes billions of years. You may CLAIM to see readings that indicate a certain body is in the process of it, but a) you are not observing it, just data and b) you have only 'seen' it for a fraction of the time required.

But you are saying, although we canoot observe, test or recreate evolution, the big bang, billions of years, life from non life etc, its still science because it seems to fit what we can test. Sorry, Not buying it.

Quote# 4364

So, follow the scientific method and observe, test and recreate the big bang, life from non-life, evolve me a man from a primate, a planet/star being created, and on and on and on.

Quote# 4360

[Replying to 'So a father has a right to rape his daughters?']I do not condone those actions, what he does within his castle has nothing to do with me. if i chose to interfere then i am disrespecting that family's rights the same as the father is disrespecting his daughters rights... Two wrongs don't make a right... You can't condone abuseing family rights and condem the father for abuseing his dauthers rights your doing the same thing as him... Its called disrespect and i find to be quite sad just how many people don't respect other peoples rights.

Quote# 4359

Taking away parents rights is also abuse you condone society to abuse parents but condem parents for abuseing there children... If society can sentance one of its mebers to death for wrong doing then parents have the same right to do the same to one of there family members for wrong doing.

Quote# 4353

I am taking the Gospels for what they say... I have Mormons come over to my house, firmly convinced that the Book of Mormon is literally true, although history spites on this claim and is why I will never be a Mormon. Good for them I say, continue on in faith, I will continue on in reality.
