how do you know what my attitude is, you can't even see me... my initial point was neither condescending or impolite... i was merely suggesting something from a different point of view... it's pretty clear you have trouble dealing with that
Originally posted by jaywill It sounds like you have a very broad definition of Evolution which would include even non-living things.
Most "savvy" Evos I know are quick to distance their theory from origin of life or origin of the universe problems.
Are you new to the game?
Biological evolution applies only to living things. But it's not the only kind of evolution that's true.
Continental drift, for example, has been proven. I don't believe that the East Coast of South America fits in to the West Coast of Africa because "God" wished it, I believe it happened because the Continents drifted apart. Yes, it contradicts Creationist beliefs. But Creationism cannot be proven.
No, I'm not new to anything that I publicly participate in, be it chess or atheism.

========================================
How do you differentiate between which kind of evolution theory you are speaking about ? Or do you just put it all under that heading of Evolution ?
Do you believe that the material univese always existed from eternity?
If not what do you imagine that the very first instance of Natural Selection was? How did that work?

I don't know why continental drift should give me reason to believe that there was no intelliegence involved in the creating of the earth.
