Hey guys - am having a debate over at christianforums.com. Unfortunately when I went home from work the creationists started to reply and now there are too many things to read in a short amount of time. What I really need is for someone to tell me about <a href="http://www.grisda.org" target="_blank">www.grisda.org</a> - it's a link that someone provided to say that the fossil record does not support the idea that evolution is accumulated adaptation through an historically ever dynamic environment. A *very* brief read through it reveals it to be crap - anyone have any experiences of it being a little more? I'm at work so net time is limited *looks over shoulder*

Hmm ...

"The Institute uses both science and revelation to study the question of origins because it considers the exclusive use of science as too narrow an approach."

Added to that, they proudly proclaim the creed of the Seventh Day Adventists on their site:

"God is Creator of all things, and has revealed in Scripture the authentic account of His creative activity. In six days the Lord made "the heaven and the earth" and all living things upon the earth, and rested on the seventh day of that first week. Thus He established the Sabbath as a perpetual memorial of His completed creative work. The first man and woman were made in the image of God as the crowning work of Creation, given dominion over the world, and charged with responsibility to care for it. When the world was finished it was "very good," declaring the glory of God."

I don't think there's much more to say; anyone who filters science through "revelation" will automatically filter out that which does not agree with the Babble. They're just a DI or an AIG with a different name and a different brand of Xianity.

Sorry, Heath, I just abandoned Christianforums because lambslove, a moderator, decided to edit my posts to try to make me into a creationist.

Good luck.

Heath Anderson

Yeah - I saw that!


That little cross on that damn lambs head would make a mighty fine target, don't you think? I read that thread and decided to jump on in for the hell of it.

Heath,

I would need a bit more information before replying. Like, Which "research article" weere you refered to?. The your correspondent merely said something like, "Here is this web page that refuted everything you ever said." I would ask them to narrow it down.

I actually got the chance to look round the site and there was literally nothing there of relevance. I think the lady was just given it as "if you ever get in trouble, just refer them to me and I'll sort them out" thing. Pity she never actually took the time to look at the stuff. Ah well - I just referred her to talkorigins. Needless to say she said it was full of blind unsupported assumptions

Heath Anderson

W@L, I hope you don't mind but I pretty much quoted what you had there. I have had a look round now though so I should be able to come up with some snappy things of my own.

I hate using the net at work - it's such an obstacle course (Managers, Partners, secretaries and annoying phone calls. *sigh*)
