Yes there is.QuoteNo there isn't. Prove it.

No one does that.

People claim evolution as "the creator and designer of the universe"? I don't think I've ever heard that.
That is the explanation I have heard over and over explaining how we and everything else got here.
It may well be what you've heard, but it's not what has been said to you.
That is exactly what is said.

He is correct. You are so far behind you think you are in the lead. IMO

There are plenty of theories for self organization. Thats what this is about a postulate of how random energy and matter can form complex systems.

He is correct.
He is not, Unles you can explain to me how this post, which contains nothing but a source, is being condescending.
Take your time, I'll wait for you to catch up.

I referenced "no one".
So, you are in fact saying that "no one" defends evolution as the creator of the universe? Good, you're learning.

It's my responsibility to show that no one says what Max claims they say? OK, here it is:
" ". <--- See that? It's someone not saying it. I win.
Again, Ron doesn't understand his own argument. If you think Max's claim of what people do say is correct, then it is your responsibility to find an example of someone saying it.

>specimen. That is not life or evolution.
Agreed. Once again, it was merely an example that shows how random matter can spontaneously combine to produce more complex matter. This is the first step in the increase in complexity that gives us life, but is not in and of itself sufficient for life.

>God or evolution.
No. As the name implies, "God of the gaps" is a view of God. It basically states that wherever we can't explain something by science, that's where God resides. Assuming we will, in the future, be able to explain it by extensions to science is the opposite of what's known as "God of the gaps."

Ron, if you want to make a claim, make it. If you don't, then stop with the spam.

I never said I "couldn't be bothered to read it" as you claim...and then steve just assumes I won't read it because I "value my ignorance," as he puts it...excuse me if I don't respond well to such condescension.

QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteYou'd think that if the "evolutionists" here actually cared they have more to say about something so tangible other than appeals to ridicule and complexity, i.e., "you're too stupid to understand."
If that's all you've ever taken away from the many, many information filled posts on the subject here then sorry, but it sounds like you are.
I was talking to beowulf...how many of those information filled posts were his?
You may have been replying to him but you were talking about all of us.
I didn't even have you in mind when I said that...and I've already alluded to those like philh and bill who seem more interested in explaining rather than taking cheap shots...

QuoteI'm not going to let you two spend the next 100 posts saying "you said this" "no I didn't" "yes you did." That's spam.
Ron, if you want to make a claim, make it. If you don't, then stop with the spam.
No problem, I'm done. I made my point but I don't think it was grasped. But anyway, you won't see any further posts from me in that vein, here or elsewhere.

Quoteexcuse me if I don't respond well to such condescension.
So you're psychic, is that it? You were responding to his condescension before he was condescending?
Like I said, you got the treatment you asked for, so stop whining.
And you lose that bet.
What do I win?
