Evolution is a rational explanation of the evidence.
An Intelligent Creator is the most rational explanation of the evidence.
You creationists are a peculiar lot. In one breath you call, "Creationism is the deity-of-the-gaps "explanation", it basically says life is too complex and, "Goddidit!!!", should be invoked whenever possible to solve all the little inconveniences", a straw man then say, "Goddidit!!! is the most rational explanation". Why? "Because life is too complex and, "Goddidit!!!", solves all the little inconveniences". :kookoo:
Creationism is the deity-of-the-gaps "explanation", it basically says life is too complex and, "Goddidit!!!", should be invoked whenever possible to solve all the little inconveniences.
That is your go-to strawman.
6days, you wouldn't know a straw man if you made one up yourself... oh, wait...
You were challenged before numerous times to provide an example to back up your claim. You came up empty.
Provide an example of what, you invoking, "Goddidit"? Creationists, you in particular, take every opportunity to yell, "Goddidit!!!", I long ago provided examples of specific quotes you, yourself, made and what happened? You disappeared. Now, I expect, you're going to pull a Stripe and say, "Show me", after my post(s) have long since been buried, no?
Sophisticated coded complexity as in DNA is evidence of an intelligent Creator.
Well, why am I not surprised, "Goddidit!!!", didn't take longer for you to invoke?
Shall we discuss how evolutionists claim both good design... and bad design supports their beliefs?
Straw man. Evolution makes no such claims.
You're equivocating how creationists use "design" with how "design" is used when describing the result of evolution.
Hunter..... surely you know your statement is false.
Quote mine much? I wonder why you decided to omit the bolded sentence :think:. Does it negate your objection?
We see evolution being credited all the time for everything no matter how good or how bad they
imagine the design to be. We see an organ like the appendix being used as evidence because it useless. Then when discovered it is functional, we see claims of
evolutiondidit!.
Here is an example... I googled and here is first result
.."The human eye is a well-tread example of how evolution can produce a clunky design even when the result is a well-performing anatomical product. The human eye is indeed a marvel,..."https://thehumanevolutionblog.com/2015/01/12/the-poor-design-of-the-human-eye/
There you have it... clunky design...
evolution did it
well performing...a marvel...
evolution did it.
IOW... the data does not really matter, because we can explain everything with
'evolutiondidit!'
And, btw, this article is wrong with their clunky comment. That was old beliefs. Modern science has revealed an optimal fibre optic type design.
Did you ACTUALLY
READ the article you cited/linked? No? I thought not. All you did was scan through the FIRST paragraph, find something to quote-mine, then claim the article says something it doesn't.
6days quote-mine: "The human eye is a well-tread example of how evolution can produce a clunky design even when the result is a well-performing anatomical product. The human eye is indeed a marvel,..."
What the article ACTUALLY says: "The human eye is a well-tread example of how evolution can produce a clunky design even when the result is a well-performing anatomical product. The human eye is indeed a marvel
but if it were to be designed from scratch, it’s hard to imagine it would look anything like it does."
The article also says: "Before I discuss the puzzling physical design of the eye, let’s start off by making one thing clear: the human eye is fraught with functional problems as well... myopia... hyperopia and presbyopia... glaucoma... cataracts... color blindness".
and...
"Compare this to the excellent vision of most birds, especially birds of prey, such as eagles and condors. Their visual acuity at great distances puts even the best human eyes to shame."
as well as other examples of the inadequacies of the human eye...
6days, your record of dishonesty is long and disgusting.
