Smithsonian: How to Talk with Evangelicals about Evolution

[Ringtone]

Darwin didn't prove God does not exist. All he did was prove that all living things change and adapt over long, long, long, long, long periods of time.

So Darwin proved that naturalism is true, eh? When did he do that? Link?

Ringtone's EVIDENCE for god?

ZERO hard evidence.

Just Philosophical masturbation trolling.

`

 

[Ringtone]

How about you just don't?

The facts of science don't change if someone doesn't believe in them.

There really is no point in trying to educate the mind of someone who isn't seeking to learn the truth.

The metaphysical presupposition of naturalism on which the hypothesis of evolution is predicated is a scientific fact? Link?

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Abiogenesis happened somewhere.

Evolution shows how life started?

NO.
But Creationists always lump that into evolution because it is NOT yet a fact.
Evolution happened no matter how life 'sparked,' and a soon as it did.
Some like to think that the existence of life also 'evolved' from naturally occurring, non-living, complex long chain molecules that have natural tendencies to form into structures that are very much like life.
(I have TWO threads on that on THIS page) (WTF!)

`

Then what did you mean by this
That does not solve NOR help discover how life started in the FIRST place.
Evolution does neither of those. But that is justification for ignoring another theory? lol
As i said, you have an astounding lack of logic. And apparently consistency.

Abiogenesis happened somewhere. We know that.

I'm steeped in the theoretical processes of and the putative evidence for evolution per several advanced courses at the collegiate level. I grasp the theory just fine.

Evolution is predicated on the metaphysics of naturalism, but you have no idea what I'm talking about because you've never thought the matter through . . . and you probably don't really know much about "the science of evolutionary theory" either.

Once again:

Just how did Darwin prove that naturalism is true? Link?​

 

[abu afak]

Once again:

Just how did Darwin prove that naturalism is true? Link?​

Darwin didn't "prove" naturalism is true, it was his observation and has since been confirmed by every new relevant science and an infinite amount of fossil, etc, evidence.

Science doesn't deal in "Proof" you stupid Dishonest/False challenge POS..
Science deals in theories affirmed over time.
In this case 160 years and counting.
All good.
Asking how the man who most famously first observed it "Proved" it is FALLACIOUS and DISHONEST.. like you.

See my above last two posts of Evidence demonstrating Evolution is true.
UNREFUTED, UNTOUCHED.

Reverend Ringtone, OTOH, has shown ZERO hard evidence for god/s.
ZERO.
Just semantic BS/philosophical speculation.

Yawn

There's nothing you can teach me about the theory of evolution. We've been over this before. In fact, I've corrected many of your misconceptions about the theory from the evolutionist's perspective.

The foundation of your belief is naturalism, which is your religion.

Prove naturalism is true. I dare you. I double dare you.

Not only no "proof" but Unlike Evolution, NO HARD EVIDENCE.

[Ringtone]

I'm still fascinated by the Evolutionary explanation of how the first cells appeared: well, they just did! We know they existed, therefore evolution!

Science = settled!

Can I get an Amen?

We have Concensus!

Their consensus is around the metaphysical presupposition of naturalism. That's their religion.

You gave overwhelming evidence for naturalism?

 

[fncceo]

Evolution is predicated on the metaphysics of naturalism,

Actually, it isn't at all. Nothing in Evolution precludes the existence of a supernatural being. It merely describes how life, once introduced, changes over time to create different forms of life.

 

[abu afak]

You gave overwhelming evidence for naturalism?

Yep, overwhelming evidence for naturalism/Evolution/Common descent.
Unrefuted, Untouched.
The Fraud Reverend Ringtone (masquerading as a fact-based objector) could not take issue with FOUR Meaty posts burying his dishonest fallacious posts.
Nothing.

No you can't because you're a Lying Troll.
