Sorry, you speak YOUR truth, which is a personal truth, but your truth is not confirmed by physical observations of the natural world.

You're hiding behind the Bible and your supernatural father.

I'm not hiding at all; I don't have to, and there's no place to hide anyway.

@darthmid

No, you've shown repeatedly that you get science facts wrong, or you twist them to suit your needs.

Example: there's no way for undersea hydrothermal vents to vomit volumes of water that could drown continents. Such forms simply do not work that way. Any geologist could tell you.

You're committing scientific errors based on (wilful) ignorance.

The Book of Genesis has NOT been confirmed by rigorous observations of the natural world--except in the closed system of the Bible Belt.

@MadHighway I hope people see that you are afraid of the truth, because your response demonstrates that. I am through with you, you can dismiss the truth all you want, but it is still truth. Good luck with your future, I won't be there to point out your mistakes.

[darthmid]

@MadHighway Good grief! What more do you want? I gave you absolute, 100% proof that what I was saying was true! Are you just mad that I was right which means the Bible was right? What more do you want? Science can never prove anything beyond a shadow of a doubt. Do you want me to take you to heaven now, is that what you want? Well, I am sorry I do not have an extra-dimensional gateway.

The theory is not the "mechanism." The theory is the explanation, and Dawkins knows exactly what he is talking about.

There are no 'gaps' in the explanation, nor 'gaps' in the mechanisms.

What you're proposing sounds like something between natural causes and supernatural causes. In other words, you're saying there just may be an intelligent designer, but no need to worship it.

There's no designer and no evidence for such.

@MadHighway Neither is Dawkins, the Theory Of Evolution is probably the mechanism by which we became what we are but there are some gaps in it but Dawkins refuses to acknowledge that another mechanism may be part of it. Religion, of course is totally nuts, I agree with him on this point, he's a brilliant man I hate to see him miss some of the finer points that may exist, not with a god but with some other anomalous event.

@darthmid "I did not need to give science"

Science only, dude. That's the only clear, objective language there is (despite your attempts to label it a religion with a deity, like yours).

You're passing of your claims as scientific; they're not.

@darthmid "I am going to a real school and I am using an evolution science book."

Right, and what does this alleged "evolution science book" say about an alleged global flood and a deity that creates whole planets in six days (but doesn't mention any other planet).

[MadHighway]

@darthmid

You're doing the creationist mindfuck.

You've given gibberish that is NOT science. Your visualization IS conjecture; science is NOT conjecture.

Yes, I said oceans under the oceans, because that's what would be needed to make real the flood you claim.

You KNOW there's no way for a few hydrothermal vents to let loose enough water to cover the planet to six miles' depth. But your god-belief allows you to make up any bullshit you want in your attempts to discredit science.

[darthmid]

@MadHighway I did not need to give science, because you saw it with your own eyes. You are the one blind, so blind in fact that you can't see your blindness. I am going to a real school and I am using an evolution science book. That is why I think I know what I am talking about.
