Of course he has made up his mind. ... ! He's making his case.
It was you I was asking the objective open-mindedness of..... or not.
The closest living relative to whales in terms of DNA is the hippo.
You're not looking to any "point". You seek no dialogue.
You are a committed atheist, as demonstrated in your very screen name.
There is a splendid book titled The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict.
It is probably the best documented book I have ever read, with hundreds and hundreds of citations, referencing college professors, historians, archaeologists and other scholars.
If you were really interested in learning, you would read this and other books of a similar nature, which run counter to your dogma.
I do this all the time. The problem with leftists is that they have this knee-jerk reaction to anything outside their own narrow credo.
Not true. LeMaitre's work was preceeded (SIC) by Friedmann's work (who was not a catholic (SIC) priest). So the idea that the entire scientific community rejected it is nonesense (SIC) and has nothing to do with the fact LeMaitre was a catholic (SIC) priest.
Again, this is nonesense. Einstein did not reject God, he rejected the notion of a finite (temporally) universe. When Hubble's observations showed an expanding Universe he changed his mind. Why? Because Einstein was an excellent scientist and not a religious fundamentalist.
Hehehehehehe. The National Geographic?! That it?
the relentless attacks on Christians by atheists, who call Christians "stupid" and "anti-scientific" makes LeMaitre's priesthood relevant.
Why are we talking about Einstein, Al Gore, and Barack Obama in an evolution thread?
George LeMaitre confronted Albert Einstein. I never said LeMaitre's work was NOT A"preceded" by anybody else. I have no argument with that. But it is clearly irrelevant. Moreover, the relentless attacks on Christians by atheists, who call Christians "stupid" and "anti-scientific" makes LeMaitre's priesthood relevant. Were you honest, you would admit as much.
"Your mathematics is correct but your physics is abominable." - Albert Einstein to George LeMaitre in rejecting the Primordial Atom
Scientists wanted the Steady State Universe to be true. They rejected reality in favor of their secular dogma. The very idea of a Creator was something they tried to avoid, and bent their science to do so.
Incredible that you should giggle over something so very trivial.
No that is NOT "it." I mention National Geographic because it is the most recent of many, many evolutionary frauds. Now giggle on that.
I'm here to present some ideas you have not seriously considered.

Water is one such greenhouse gas. Have you seen the comparative IR spectra for CO2 and H2O? Yet global warming fraudsters present only the miniscule component of CO2. Shameful. Deceptive.
You said the whole the "entire scientific community" rejected it. This is clearly not true. I don't agree that the fact that you are making factually false statements is irrelevant.George LeMaitre confronted Albert Einstein. I never said LeMaitre's work was NOT A"preceded" by anybody else. I have no argument with that. But it is clearly irrelevant.
Well, I believe there was some attempt to disparage "belief" in the big bang by some who preferred a steady state cosmology back around the 1960's. I have actively ridiculed those who choose to argue in a similar way on the science forum.Moreover, the relentless attacks on Christians by atheists, who call Christians "stupid" and "anti-scientific" makes LeMaitre's priesthood relevant. Were you honest, you would admit as much.
Uhh-hmm. No mention of God or atheism in that quote. Your assertion that Einstein initially rejected the big bang cosmology because of atheist beliefs is still completely without support."Your mathematics is correct but your physics is abominable." - Albert Einstein to George LeMaitre in rejecting the Primordial Atom
Erm the Steady State Cosmology post-dates LeMaitre's work by about 2 decades. Long long after Einstein was "converted". And no, at least in most cases, they preffered one theory over another. The evidence in favour of the Big Bang over the Steady State didn't really come about till the 1960's.Scientists wanted the Steady State Universe to be true. They rejected reality in favor of their secular dogma.
Not at all. Both theories were consistent with all the experimental data up until around the 1960's. Then there were various observations e.g. the distribution of cosmic radio sources and the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation that clearly supported BB over SS. After that most scientists moved over to the BB camp. There were, as there always is, some hardened SS proponents. But far from being the entire scientific community, they were a dwindling minority.The very idea of a Creator was something they tried to avoid, and bent their science to do so.
So you admit that National Geographic is not a scientific journal?Incredible that you should giggle over something so very trivial.

Does he? Still a stupid term if you ask me.Richard Dawkins uses the term "Darwinist" throughout his texts. I read the book by Michael Rose titled Darwinism Defended.
I know something about it. I don't proclaim to be an expert. And I don't, I hope, make wild claims I can't support about areas I barely understand.You are terribly uninformed about that which you pretend to know something about.
I know the difference, the former is positional (roughly speaking), the latter possessive. I just happened to write the wrong one for some benign reason and not spell check before posting. What does this have to do with... anything?You do not know the difference between "there" and "their" and you call others "stupid"?
Are you inferring that because I used the wrong there/their/they're, I can't think critically?And this is the place for "critical thinking"?
Huh? I'm lost. This forum is biased because nobody else corrected my spelling?If that were so, someone besides me would have corrected you.
That nobody else does illustrates how biased and anti-intellectual this entire forum truly is.
Black humans are specifically "mentioned" and Darwin makes racist, degrading references to them.

The aid which we feel impelled to give to the helpless is mainly an incidental result of the instinct of sympathy, which was originally acquired as part of the social instincts, but subsequently rendered, in the manner previously indicated, more tender and more widely diffused. Nor could we check our sympathy, even at the urging of hard reason, without deterioration in the noblest part of our nature
I said "or not."So it's OK for him to make up his mind but if I do it I'm close minded?
How long must I keep this open mind? How many years must I look without finding before I'm justified in reaching a conclusion?
I said "or not."
And since it, and my zingsmiley, was removed... ?, welcome aboard again, JonathanQuick
How did I know I loved you from your first post? Which is... umm... incidentally... also gone.
It's been fascinating to watch their response to and treatment of you. Watching it again, from outside this time, almost verbatim in so many ways.
While I doubt you'll tolerate such tedium for long, I hope you stick around and contend here regularly.
