Evolution Intelligent Design debate Meyer V Ward 5of11

Peter Ward paleontologist and University of Washington Professor of Geology, Biology, Zoology and Astrobiology.

Stephen C Meyer is a senior fellow at the discovery institute and co-wrote the note to teachers at the end of the book "Of pandas and people" which was central to the Kitzmiller V Dover trial which concluded that Intelligent Design is not science. Along with fellow Discovery institute fellows John Angus Campbell and William Demski pulled out of the Dover trial after depositions from the plaintiff experts were taken and thus would not defend the Intelligent Design claims of the Discovery Institute under oath at this trial. The Discovery Institute also boasts among it's fellows "Moonie" Jonathan Wells (The moonies believe that Jesus Christ failed in his salvation plan and that Rev Moon from Korea is the second coming of Christ)

This Ward guys arguments are absurd. He repeats these points over and over: 1.) That evolution is a real, testable science; 2.) That for ID to be a science you need to somehow need to test for God. In 1.) the ID folks are not disputing the theory of evolution, they are just saying that it can't explain all that we see in complex organisms. In 2.), the point of ID science is not to identify the designer, it is to identify design and test whether it was from random causes or an intelligence.

Ward, is a blundering idiot! He is condescending and not debating at all. He is rude and did not go even close to the level of Meyer in a scientific debate.  Any questions asked of him to explain something scientific he answers with "its dogma," or "thats crap," or raising his hand singing me, me me. I mean come on!

@Seigu007 How do you know Dr. Ward is an atheist? Did he ever actually say he was? You do realize that you can accept evolution and be a religious person, right? And that many, many people in this world are believers who accept evolution, right? I'm not so sure you do.

@RadAntelope i could care less of convincing you. I just like seeing atheist fools squirm. Pitiful pitiful pitiful

@FirstFreedomFighter This is true. Evidence makes science. And there is absolutely no evidence to support ID, while there is overwhelming evidence supporting evolution. This is why greater than 99% of the scientific community agrees that evolution is a fact, while less than 1% thinks "God did it" is the alternative to evolution. I'll side with the 99% who value evidence over the 1% who don't.

@Seigu007 Who are you trying to convince - yourself or others?

[Seigu007]

Atheists are weak. Very weak indeed.
