@blowfly02 Even though he owned Shermer in the last debate. But I think this debate is available of youtube.

@GrahamSMcCann I think there is plenty of evidence for his position. And again, why not both? Why can't evolution be apart of some type of creation?

[GrahamSMcCann]

Jacoby, even though he is no longer a young earth creationist, seems to be trying to weave scientific evidence to be connected to Christianity. For example, if he was Islamic, he would be onnecting it to Islam. - If there was no religion in his society, if he grew up not knowing it; he would not have any of these mythologies to apologize for

he would still have scientific evidence that is always available through actual digging for real information - there is no evidence for his position

[alainlai]

Douglas, I'll always support you in the name of God.

We are waiting for the rest of the debate.

May God bless you & those viewer!

Where is the rest? According to the description, this was a debate (not just one side of the story). The uploader, douglasjacoby, must be worried that youtuber's would see douglas jacoby get owned by Shermer.
