"Bible a unique book. It explains *insert crap-ton of origins here*"

Ken...the Qu'ran explains those and more. Why aren't you a Muslim?

9/11 occurred in the pages of Marvel comics. That was true, so that must mean Spider Man and Captain America is real.

So if something in the Bible really happened then the whole thing must be true in the same way.

Now that it's over who do you think won the debate?

I'm ashamed of all of you for not posting this yet


Ken never had a chance (and not even because he was trying to promote creationism (I didn't actually watch it... (I didn't need to))

Another question for you all. Do you feel you learned something from this debate. If so, what was it?

Let's you meet someone on the street claiming they can sell you a bridge. It's the difference between just accepting this claim and this person presenting valid documentation showing that he can legally sell that bridge to you and being able to get further information that he can legally do this and isn't just scamming you from another independent source.

We're all scientists, though, just like when you compile your first line of code you are a computer programmer. Scientists are "students of science."

If Evolution is on the same shelf as Gravitation, Plate Tectonics, Heliocentrism, Germ Theory, Gene Theory, and Sliding Filament Theory, being that they have all been elevated to the status of Theory, then we must infer that Evolution has a ton of evidence to support it.

Well you're not the only guy around here who's asking that question. Simply put, the scientists searching for these answers have far stronger credentials than what we common people have (they have Ph.D's in their field of science and are still put under scrutiny by other Ph.D's).

The presented facts supporting what is being found out by scientists.

you could always look at mage's profile page if you need something to read while bored... or hungry for brain food

I guess this rationale is about as good as it gets, though it still feels a bit empty. But this is more or less my thinking as well.

because what are PhD's actually worth anyway? just why does a PhD mean they are superior to non PhD's? ...i'm assuming

Having the evidence and facts to look at for a claim is the difference between,

I have dice.

and

I have dice.

This turned out to be a pretty...DICEY thread thread on science and creationism.. who woulda thought it'd end up like this?

How is that empty?
