    I have gone from seeing a creator behind the world I saw around me, to being agnostic about the question of a creator.
    There are millions of examples of design around you, open your eyes, what do you see? Think about the millions of nerve connections that have to be connected in exactly the right sequence for you to see.

    If you are really interested here is an article on the remarkable design of the human eye.

    "Seashells are found on the MtEverest, this must be the ultimate proof of the flooding."
    "Err, haven't you heard of tectonics?"
    "No,and I will not hear about what Satan is whispering in your ears!"
    "So what is the reason that seashells is not found all over the world?"
    "More whispering of Satan! Go away!"
    In your mind all creationists are pseudoscientists? Well I'm not surprised.

    Every creationist referring to science to prove their religion is a pseudo scientist.
    Creationism is not science, but pseudo-science.

    Why are you asking me for evidence of something?
    This is your thread.

    Evidence is in the eye of the beholder. What one person considers evidence another may not.

    Funny how the topic of this thread gets played out by those who disagree.

    What would you class as evidence in order to help dj2becker with his OP and in answering FMF's question to him on page one?

    You say that evidence based truths doesn't exist?

    I say what you call evidence based truth is circular reasoning by true believers.

    All of creation is evidence of God's hand.

    You are a true believer, then you use evidence based circular reasoning?

A scientist that presupposes evolution will look at the same evidence as a scientist that presupposes creation and they will reach different conclusions.
    Lies!

    We are all open to evidence and ideas that we disbelieve and reject.

    Except for Christians. They all have closed minds.

    You said an inference is not 'evidence' itself. So what then is 'evidence' itself?

    Anything that exists that exhibits characteristics of design and therefore inspires confidence in a 'creator' I would classify as evidence for creation. Look at your own body Dive and tell me honestly whether or not you think it exhibits any characteristics of design.

    Here is a definition I would subscribe to. I'll await your version.

    evidence: noun

    the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid.
    "the study finds little evidence of overt discrimination"
    synonyms: proof, confirmation, verification, substantiation, corroboration, affirmation, authentication, attestation, documentation
