This is the proof that lawyers and doctors are not "God's gift to the world". (pun intended). They think that they are so smart because they got accepted in a "competitive program" yet, they still believe in imaginary people.

So please, elaborate on that, and define religion, and explain how science fits into that definition.

AND PLEASE GIVE SOME EVIDENCE AGAINST TOE.

BTW, BRAIN SIZE DOESN'T COUNT. IF YOU WOULD LIKE, I CAN EXPLAIN HOW THAT ACTUALLY SUPPORTS EVOLUTION, BUT FIRST, IT'S YOUR TURN TO GIVE VALID EVIDENCE AGAINST TOE.

[kenthovindspimp]

So where do we stand.

I falsely accused you of stating that ABio and TOE were the same.

You attribute brain size to evidence against evolution.

You believe science is a religion, yet havent' defined religion or how science is one. ( at least, and I'm not checking again, I believe it was you)

You haven't explained what him bringing up abio has to do with the validity of the two sciences being one (which, now that I think of it, is a passive way of supporting that position)

[kenthovindspimp]

You are right. I've checked the record and you are right. You did not say they were the same thing. It was another creationist/design proponent on "darwin vs. design" and I attributed it to you.

[kenthovindspimp]

Are abiogenesis and evolution two distinct sciences or not?

[kenthovindspimp]

Are they distinct and sciences?

[kenthovindspimp]

Did I say that it was brought up for a reason? No, I didn't. I said what you quoted, how you extracted that tid bit is beyond me. I asked you to elaborate on what you think him bringing it up means. So please, elaborate.

[Alternate2GOP]

"1. Admit abiogenesis and TOE are distinct and you were wrong in stating as much and that you have no evidence to back up your claims."

Point to where I said they were the same thing.

[Alternate2GOP]

"Sure did. Not sure what you think that means. Please elaborate."

So now you admit that abiogenesis was brought up for a reason. At last :-D

[kenthovindspimp]

1. Admit abiogenesis and TOE are distinct and you were wrong in stating as much and that you have no evidence to back up your claims.

2. Provide evidence AGAINST The theory of evolution or admit there isn't any.
