If you are referring to me, then have the honesty to say so directly. An if you are referring to me, then your accusations are totally unfounded. I do not assume that all creationists or all theists are ignorant of science. If I think someone is ignorant of a particular aspect of science, I think so based on what they say about it. You for example clearly ...[text shortened]... This has nothing to do with you being a creationist. Nor am I insulting you by pointing it out.
"You for example clearly do not understand the concepts involved in the articles talking about the universe being 'flat'."
To a degree I do now after some research and reading your's and other's posts. I didn't when I started this thread. I still don't really get it. After all it's all just theory based on the knowledge available.
sonhouse seems to think science is very close to discovering when the universe first "came into existence" down to the nanosecond. I find that very interesting. I will remain skeptical as long as there is only a theory.

Secondly, the question of whether or not the universe is 'flat' is currently an unanswered question. So it isn't even a theory yet. There may be a hypothesis that it is flat and a competing hypothesis that is isn't. But the question itself is not 'just theory'. Also the finding that if it is not flat then it doesn't have more than a given amount of curvature, is based on good evidence - so again, 'just theory' isn't the best description.
So given that you admit that you didn't understand the concept when the thread started, why are you now accusing atheists in general of automatically assuming you are ignorant because you are a creationist? It should also be clear to you that RJ has no idea what he is talking about either.
Originally posted by twhiteheadThe Theory of Evolution is not science then, because it is NOT a tried and tested understanding of the world. So you see, some things called a theory are really just an hypothesis.

All you do is poo poo any evolution evidence without studying it. You have no credibility to do that. You are only venturing an opinion backed up by your ridiculous anti science political motivated video's.
Originally posted by RJHindsAgain, you have no credibility to say that. You are just venturing opinion without ever actually going to the trouble of learning the subject. I daresay you haven't even LOOKED at a fossil or compared any of them to similar ones. Till you have, you are just spouting your usual blathering bullshyte.

Originally posted by sonhouseEvolutionists should stop blathering about 65 million years old dinosaurs and then acting surprised when the find soft tissue in their bones, but should just admit that these dinosaurs must be no more than a few thousand years at most.

Originally posted by RJHindsYou are trolling once again. Making totally unsupported statements, only opinions based on zero knowledge.

Your so-called video's are not science, they are political based tracts with one agenda, to get votes. You push ANY assshole with that agenda. That makes you the poster boy for trollness.

You would do MUCH better on a soapbox in Hyde park, more people would be converted than ANYONE here. The wino's there will listen to you all day if you bring a few bottles of rum and pass that around, you will get a splendid audience that way.
