Edit! Paste is a bad idea. How about you read it, and give us insights. If we agree or don't, we can read your link if we feel like it.

He's like the automaton megaphone of creation.

Creation maybe, but not the simplistic form laid out in the Bible.
Who wants to have to deal with punching down all these lumps in the pillow.

edit ,,,one example of the use of that site:
Claim CA100:
It is inconceivable that (fill in the blank) could have originated naturally. Therefore, it must have been created.
This argument, also known as the argument from ignorance or "god of the gaps," is implicit in a very many different creationist arguments. In particular, it is behind all arguments against abiogenesis and any and all claims of intelligent design.
Response:
Really, the claim is "I can't conceive that (fill in the blank)." Others might be able to find a natural explanation; in many cases, they already have. Nobody knows everything, so it is unreasonable to conclude that something is impossible just because you do not know it. Even a noted antievolutionist acknowledges this point: "The peril of negative arguments is that they may rest on our lack of knowledge, rather than on positive results" (Behe 2003).
The argument from incredulity creates a god of the gaps. Gods were responsible for lightning until we determined natural causes for lightning, for infectious diseases until we found bacteria and viruses, for mental illness until we found biochemical causes for them. God is confined only to those parts of the universe we do not know about, and that keeps shrinking.
Originally posted by StarrmanIt seems maybe you don't understand the experiments yourself. So, for starters, do you believe that macro evolution is possible?

To me, this whole 'EVOLUTION CRUNCHER' document is written VERY zealously. There's so much venom, anger and spite in it's anti-evolutionism that it reads more like it is 'clutching at straws' than of putting across valid, factual arguements.
In an ironic way, reading the document has actually strengthened my belief in evolutionary theories!
Originally posted by dj2beckerI have no idea what you mean by 'macroevolution'. If you mean 'evolution resulting in speciation', then I believe in macroevolution. If you mean 'evolution resulting in a change in kind', then I need to know your definition of the term 'kind'. What property or properties must two organisms have in order to belong to the same kind?

Originally posted by bbarrO.K. Before we get into macroevolution, let me start off at the begining with this question, How do you believe we all got here? Do you believe that Big Bang occured?

The Big Bang has nothing to do with the theory of evolution. Nothing, zip, squat, nada. Completely unrelated.
Nor does the creation of life have anything to do with the theory of evolution - except for the fact that it is where evolution started. Like the starting line in the race of life, it has nothing to do with the actual running.
All the TOE seeks to explain is how organisms adapt to their environment. That's it. Nothing else. Do you hear me? NOTHING ELSE!!

So what was responisble for the creation of life if the TOE does not have anything to do with it???
- except for the fact that it is where evolution started.
The fact???
So what then caused life to "evolve" from non-life, if the TOE does not deal with this issue?

You are talking about microevolution. I am talking about macroevolution. They have absolutely nothing to do with one another.

DUH!... scientists dont know YEt what eliments came from.. maby some day but not now.. but never.. sould a scientist refer to some thing as nothing.. thats trash... they know there was some thing.. but what... we dont know yet.. christ... just over 500yrs ago we lerned the frickn world wasnt flat... or did "god" quick fix the flatness problem when some one got to "the edge" that whole site is crap....

22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
OK, where in here does it say the Earth isn't flat? As far as I'm aware, circle's are flat. Sphere's are 3 dimensional.
So confirmation in the Bible that the Earth is flat then?
Re your original URL, I'll counter it with another, already posted by someone else on this site (can't remember who, sorry!)

Are there any like-minded people out there who also believe that evolution and a Creator are not mutually exclusive? Maybe He just lit the cosmic fuse-wire, and stood back to watch His creation evolve?
