Answering The Ignorant - Evolution

Matt’s Notepad has a great article in which he debunks some of the most well known Creationist / ID arguments concerning Evolution.

The arguments can be found here: http://mattcbr.wordpress.com/2008/04/25/repeated-ignorant-creationistid-arguments-a-solution/

Some similar arguments that debunk Creationism have been written by Talk Origins, and Richard Dawkins has a list of “Debate Points” that cover Evolution, atheism, and faith that you might find interesting.

    A Thing that has not yet been disproved … can hold it’s reasonable assumption that it exist; And as long as a Thing remain unproven, it can maintain it’s greatest possibility of being so. Indeed in this world, Intelligent Design has faltered, but because the beautiful and shinning crystal glass was shattered when it fell to the floor, doesn’t mean it’s Superior Design didn’t exist before it’s fragments were disarranged.

    So Knowing what I am sure of, there is no need to debate rather or not that ‘We’ of Intelligent Mind Souls were Designed or a mishap of evolutionized procedures of a natural development. I stand In full knowledge of my Creator.

    I am just an Old Sold passing through, with something important to say.

    While I agree with you that anything not yet disproved can hold a reasonable argument for it’s existence (Evolution in particular), I have to quote Hitchens on your reversal of this argument:

    “Anything asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence”

    Just because an argument works one way, doesn’t mean you can reverse it and make it work in the opposite direction. “gods” have been asserted without any testable or observable evidence, and thus we can also dismiss them without evidence.

    Also, what is mystical about “Planet X”? It was discovered a few years ago…

    Actually, astronomers would ask, “which planet X are you referring too?” Given there are more than one… That’s why Pluto is now classified as a Dwarf Planet along with two others and any more we may find…

    Also one of the Planet Xs actually has greater mass than Pluto.
