Now.....on another note. I have behind me on my bookshelf Darwin's Origin of Species, 2 of the books by Dawkins, Something From Nothing by Krauss, and about 12 to 14 other pro-evolution books going all the way back to my college days. I'd be interested to find out who, of the atheists on this site, has ever read a book that WASN'T pro evolution. Where I come from that's called 'confirmation bias' which leads to indoctrination, not education. 

It's amazing to me that you are asking us for some simple thing to read or maybe a video to watch that fills you in from an ID perspective and then somehow all you guys think you know the 'truth' about a subject. Without actually reading books (I know, it's not YouTube videos or something you can load into an XBox) on what 'the other side' actually thinks how can you make a well informed rational decision about who's right or wrong? That's like walking into a courtroom. listening ONLY to the prosecution, and then claiming "I'm done! I've heard enough! I could care less what the defense says.....that man is GUILTY!" It's a little intellectually dishonest of all of you guys not to do some real homework on the subject and then make a rational decision based on ALL the evidence.

So I'll post my previous thread but man......you all need to be honest with yourself and do some actual homework. We Christians don't simply believe what we believe because our parents spanked us if we didn't. Believing what we believe is not a 'blind' faith.

Equestions, whilst I respect that you have done your reading, don't underestimate atheists.  I have read about as much of the ID side as the anti-ID side in the actual debate, though obviously done more reading on the actual topic of evolution.

The thing is, and this is not a universal statement, I don't trust ID proponents.  You have shown yourself to be both intelligent, and sincere, so I have asked you for what you consider to be a solid argument.  However, what I have read about is the history of ID.  Whilst we can barter over how much it is rehashed Creationism, it is rehashed Creation Science (see the history of Of Pandas and People).  The history of these two movements is peppered with dishonesty and attempts to get around the First Amendment.  From the trials in the 60s and 70s to Expelled, the movement has simply lost any right to benefit of the doubt, and thus no I don't spend much time listening to its high-profile proponents.

Honestly, I sympathise with theistic opponents to evolution.  Lawless accused me of using a Creationist argument in my 'Santa' defence, but I was actually parodying the theistic evolutionist argument that God could use naturalistic means to achieve His ends.  I don't see why he would, and if I was starting from the premise 'God exists', I would be pretty resistant to the idea that He spent 4 billion years letting us randomly meander towards humans.  However, the evidence for evolution is pretty darn overwhelming at this stage, and I don't know how you can keep up an offence against it.

I am agnostic as to the age of the earth. What I don't believe is that we can know with much certainty how old the earth is exactly, but that really isn't pertinent to the discussion.

Dinosaurs existed, probably long ago. Did they live side by side with humans? I'm agnostic to that as well. How do we know our fossil dating is accurate? Do we have a time machine? Essentially we rely on a process which is unverifiable, although not necessarily completely faulty.

As far as fossilized human remains, such as the neaderthals, obviously I believe the fossils to be evidence of humans who lived thousands of years ago. But without more, direct and empirical evidence (such as directly witnessing how they lived, spoke, interacted, used technology), all we have are speculative explanations. I very much doubt we can know with much certainty who these people were. I also believe microevolution to be a process which can lead to a large divergence within a type (kind) of animal. It would appear that a Great Dane and Chihuahua are different animals from just their fossils when they are indeed the same species, or kind of animal. We need more information than just partial fossilized skeletons as it is the interpretation of the fossils which is faulty in my opinion.

It is very presumptuous to claim we know, from scientific endeavors, that all life arose from a single ancestor due to an unguided process over billions of years. It is even more presumptuous to reject design arguments due to naturalistic predispositions, yet that is what Darwinian evolutionists do.

Greg,

You claim to doubt scientific knowledge..but how much do you know about these fields?

Have you read ONE single book on evolution?

Such as Richard Dawkins "The Blind Watchmaker" "The Greatest Show On Earth", or E.O Wilson's "The Diversity of Life", maybe Jerry Coyne's "Why Evolution is true"?

All of these questions you have regarding our dating methods, how we can know about neanderthals are fairly easily explained...etc.. if you actually would give the time of day to learn about them.

Instead you have chosen to dismiss these fields, simply because they don't match up with a collection of ancient mythological tales post hoc assembled in the desert region of modern palestine..


Why not educate yourself? Serious question.

I don't understand why you haven't read a book on evolution. Please explain this to me.

Richard Dawkins book The Blind Watchmaker addresses all of these issues specifically.  Why no designer..well for a few reasons, besides having no evidence of a designer..but because there is a TON of bad design that could have only come about through an unguided process.

So why haven't you read that book? Are you not interested in giving yourself a fair and balanced look at the subject? 

Do you prefer to stick with your creationist websites? Do you have too much emotional stake riding on the fact that you need to be right about God/Christianity that you won't even hear the other sides points?

You are smart guy Greg, the only thing keeping you from the truth is your emotional attachment to beliefs that were forced upon you as a child. You haven't read Dawkins because you don't really care about the truth, you simply care about 'proving' what you already believed.

2. in regards to this comment:

Would you put the Hippo as the same kind as a cow type animal or a whale type?

Not one of these articles shows the development of a new useful gene other than utilizing an old gene. You first have to show the development of a new gene to start with. Show an article in this list that does that.

The origin of new genes: glimpses from the young and old.

Abstract

Genome data have revealed great variation in the numbers of genes in different organisms, which indicates that there is a fundamental process of genome evolution: the origin of new genes. However, there has been little opportunity to explore how genes with new functions originate and evolve. The study of ancient genes has highlighted the antiquity and general importance of some mechanisms of gene origination, and recent observations of young genes at early stages in their evolution have unveiled unexpected molecular and evolutionary processes.

Again no one knows how one single gene originated! Get it? If evolution is such a KNOWN theory with a capital T we should know how information came out of nothing however scientific naturalism simply has no explanation for emergence all the way from the BB to the info in the DNA.
Only a creation perspective gives answers to this end.

Vmancha,

You clearly have never written a peer-reviewed article. When you do, one of the first things you highlight is WHY your article is important. 

So when the authors write the following ". However, there has been little opportunity to explore how genes with new functions originate and evolve. " They are writing that so they are letting people know,  HEY HERE IS a study about new genes and how they work, not much has been done on it yet so this is going to be worth reading.

Get it? That is exactly what this study is about. New Genes, new genes with new information.

I'm still waiting to see some of your articles. You did write them?
The article here clearly stated they do not know how new genes originate. To hear your side it is a done deal. Again this is another bedtime story article of how's it would be nice if evolution occurs but poses no proof only conjecture in the form of -evolution must have done it. Can you show which gene the article proves came from nothing?

I'll keep my anonymity thank you. I don't need some troll going 4chan on me. 

The article does not clearly state that. You are making stuff up.

Obviously new genes do not come from nothing. what are you talking about? 

New genes are mutations of old genes...

Here is an article that will help explain it to you.

If you are going to swing it around that you have published then you loose your rights. Put up or shut up!
In happy to see its hit you none of your 30 articles prove new information evolved into a first functional gene. Only that a gene can be derived from old information.
As to pseudo genes interesting you should try to claim it proof for evo. When they were deemed junk for 30 yrs your side said see god creates junk and evoists are right that stuff should degrade. But then when scientists showed it was not junk then they claimed see evo did it again. No matter what is found the evos can change and say evo did it. Pseudo genes are not pseudo after all to redefine then and claim this redefinition proves evo ism is typical.
Hows about pointing out in this article a proof of a de novo gene evolution.

You do know that video was a hoax right?

That the question was overdubbed in editing?

Here's the real story and Richard Dawkins answer to the question..

Dawkins if he could would have caused the question to backfire by answering it. To claim "I realized they were creationists" does no good for him. The camera was rolling and recorded what he said after a moment of re composure where he fell back into his typical bedtime story mode of evo ism.
The facts remain he could not as Jude can not demonstrate the origin of dna information to a functioning codon s.
