How to shut up any creationist/ID proponent in an instant:

"what was the last experiment done to test ID or Creationism?"

[ViciousRiceX]

i do not know they are so offended. why do not they just go to church more.

@mattdd05 Views such as these derive directly from a system of thought centered on materialism; within it, everything is defined and delimited with reference to materialism.

To interpret materialism in such a sense is in the final analysis strictly meaningless; it would be a superstitious notion involving the perversion of truth, and to regard it as scientific would, in fact, be *treason* to science. 

[mattdd05]

@1tabligh I don't think science can disprove God, to disprove God one only needs logic. No one can disprove a non-material being, no one can prove it either. You cannot disprove that there is a small non-material being living inside the Moon's core, yet you wouldn't then go and claim that is your religious belief, because people would think you're crazy. Belief in God is a justified delusion, the same way it's obvious that the Roman Gods aren't real, the Judeo-Christian God isn't real either.

@mattdd05 The atheist Delusion!

Your delusion that science has put out the notion of God is purely *rhetorical* and has nothing to do with logical method, because even thousands of scientific experiments could not possibly suffice to demonstrate that no non-material being or factor exists.

Your delusion is nothing more than a *fanatical* illusion based on unproven theories.

[1tabligh]

@mattdd05 Without doubt, one of the factors in the emergence of anti-religious ideas and a phalanx of deniers of God, has been the false teachings, the inadequacies and the intellectual perversions of the followers of some religions. The peculiarities and separate characteristics of each religion must, therefore, be individually examined when studying the reasons that have led men to adhere to that religion.

"The self assembling nature of matter also shows us that form is dictated by information. That information knows what to do, and demonstrates intelligence that exceeds man. It was not chance"

No scientist ever said that. Evolution is not chance. Mutations can be random but they are not chance occurances. Natural selection, the mechanism used to weed out the bad mutations isn't chance either. You are a liar, and by your own theology you are going to hell.

[aboyborninjune]

4 billion years of evolution have made us so remarkable that we think we must have been created supernaturally. That's the mistake.

We can't comprehend a vast time period like that, that's why we can't comprehend how we can be so complex.

We've become so intelligent we've become stupid. (The creationists.. not me)

@TCupUK

Keep watching. They (as in the parties of the law suit) were able to PROVE that "intelligent design" is nothing more creationism renamed (so that they could attempt to sneak creationism into textbooks). If anything, this documentary is "biased towards reality."

[TCupUK]

This seems heavily biased.

Teaching creationism is not the same as teaching intelligent design. One comes from the bible the other from science. One is faith based the other is evidence based.

Horizontal gene transfer shows that self replication is not needed to pass on DNA and genes between species. Fact!

The self assembling nature of matter also shows us that form is dictated by information. That information knows what to do, and demonstrates intelligence that exceeds man. It was not chance.
