subjective science

Such an occurrence is incompatible with the existence of a perfectly loving God, leading to the inescapable conclusion that such a deity does not exist. How more relevant can one get?

Attempt to answer why it is not compatible with a loving God and you should soon become aware of your strawman.

Are you yet again pretending to accuse me of something you either seem to know nothing about or can't get yourself to utter?

So you're saying the article is a lie and that Watson's work is not aimed at demonstrating the 'intelligence and design' of the evolutionary process?

I'm saying you don't understand Watson's work, and your attempts to see it as supporting intelligent design are misplaced.

I think I was quite clear in what i said.

The proposition of an all powerful and all loving deity is fundamentally discredited by a child dying of cancer, or a village wiped out by an earthquake.

That's a very silly and naive thing to say, even for you.

A loving God (who is also all powerful) would not allow an innocent child to suffer so unjustly. If he does, he can not be both omnipotent and perfectly loving.

Again creation is the topic if the creator has issues is not the topic.

Why do you get to decide the topic? 😀

Night sir.

So creation was never the topic or even science, but God?

Perhaps your study of evolution would have been more productive if you hadn't presupposed that it's wrong. The idea is quite simple, really.

If you are presupposing I thought evolution was wrong then you are wrong. Perhaps evolution is not as simple as you first thought either.

Or perhaps you are wrong in thinking my presupposition that you are presupposing evolution is wrong is wrong.

At its core, the theory of evolution in the modern synthesis relies on these ingredients:
- DNA reproduces
- DNA mutates
- DNA affects the phenotype

For the theory of evolution to be incorrect, one of these ingredients must be incorrect. All research into evolution focuses on understanding the details of these mechanisms and mapping evolution's history. Your focus on things which are NOT one of these ingredients when attacking the theory of evolution implies you do not understand the basic idea of evolution.

Ah so like your pal Dive you can only resort to ad hominems.

So still don't get it do you? Who said 'evolution' is wrong ? If you want to believe that you are the product of a brain dead, clueless and stupid mechanism be my guest.

Ah Dive arrives swings a punch and leaves.
