I thought logically? If God exists, He created the universe. That follows, right? Or does it not? You make that assertion, I do not agree. It only mea...
A few scientists started with a with a hypothesis. This hypothesis was since confirmed, but to the acceptance of this 'fact' had to depend on the assu...
I am not interested in 'why' questions, I do not think they fit into the discussion of evolution, and in theology the 'why' has answer that are not co...
What other options are there? I prefer to talk about 'scientists accepting' rather than 'science accepting' anything. If you describe it this way, the...
I believe this is a good way of presenting this concept. I have no real problem with the idea of free will, or the lack of it. I leave you with this q...
How do I find out if this argument holds water? I am willing to accept a conclusion either way: It is confusing to me, on the one hand Michael Behe, a...
Does it do so? Does the "Intelligent Design" argument really demonstrate the inadequacy of all versions of theories of evolution proposed so far to ex...
If the current conflict is a trolley problem, then one option would be a no-fly zone, impractical and dangerous, but objectively fair. I am suggesting...
