another false comparison ...The paradigm of ID / creationism is inherently illogical as it relies on supernaturalism and magic. Certainly, it is true that the two creationists posture their arguments for supermagical intervention of their gods as attacks on science and rationality. That is the hopeless position of ID creationism. There is no positive assertion of supernaturalism available so the arguments for supermagicalism devolves into strident and, as we see so often, screaming, juvenile name-calling from the desperate fundies.This is what I don't understand about this thread:
If you were hypothetically able to completely debunk evolution or the big bang theory, that would not do anything to prove
1.) God's existence
2.) that God created the universe
3.) and that God created life or mankind
You still need to actually prove these positive claims yourself. The tactic here seems to be that for any point won against evolution, is a point for creationism. But this is epistemically incoherent. This is not a zero sum game. The assumption with creationists is that evolution and creation are diametrically opposed, and that by debunking one, you prove the other. Logic 101 says otherwise.
Give us the miracle you believe that cause the beginning of life. I believe the creator did not use miracles like any other designer.
A miracle (Definition of MIRACLE
1: an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs )
assumes facts not in evidence i.e. an intention.
