  5. aspiknf  Stephen Hawking is FOS.  He doesn't know science when he started taking about the law of evolution.  There is no such law because there is no such observation.  He has been going from a believer of God to a disbeliever of God.  He doesn't know what he is talking about. He is now removed from the chair which Newton used to sit because his pears have finally figured out he is FOS and has no contribution to science at all. There.  Copied from your first website, "You don't promote a theory to a law by proving it. A theory never becomes a law." Copied from your second website, "Is Evolution a Theory or a Fact? It is both."  Right there it is nonsense.  Facts in science are unexplained observations.  Theory in science explains the cause and effect of facts.  Evolution is neither a fact nor a single scientific theory but a set , or collection, of scientific theories applied to a variety of casual questions.  A collection of scientific theories is not a theory.  It is a collection, or in other words, a story, like a godless fairy tales. Copied from your third website, "Richard Dawkins corrects what he sees as the specious use of the term "theory" and argues that evolution is indeed as close to a ‘fact’ as anything we’ll ever know."  How stupid can this hate mongering idiot get ?  science start with facts, which are unexplained observations, progress into hypothesis outlining the  proposed cause and effect explanation of these observations.  When tested by the scientific method and verified as accurate, hypothesis is accepted as scientific theory which is the highest level of logical proof in scientific terms.  Facts are sometimes referred to as laws because there are overwhelming evidence of these observed facts, for example there is the law of gravity, the law of thermodynamics, etc.  But the fact remains that laws, like facts, are unexplained observations.  For example, Newton discovered the law of gravity but he could not explain gravity which caused the gravitational force.  300 years later today, still no one knows what gravity is.  Einstein tried to explain it with space/time curvature but his theory does not work on a quantum level.  Currently scientists are trying to find gravitons, a subatomic particle that may explain gravity but so far they have come out empty handed.  So no one can tell if objects falling to the ground is pushed to the ground, sucked to the ground, or carried to the ground by some subatomic particles.  No scientific theory will go backwards and become a fact.  Evolution is not a scientific theory because it has never been tested by the scientific method and verified as accurate.  In fact, Darwin's evolution is a fairy tale of a faith in Nature.  Unless by Nature we mean God, Natural Selection does not exist.  There is no scientific experiment that can be designed to test God, or Nature because these are metaphysical concepts and not physical objects.  All scientific theories are in essence metaphysical, but science cannot explain what is metaphysical.  For example, logic and mathematics can be used to prove scientific theories, but no scientific evidence or theory can be used to prove logic and mathematics because they are metaphysical, not physical. Now that I have refuted all three sites you quoted, can you please check things out and use your critical thinking rather than just regurgitating the garbage they stuffed your head with in school and through the media ?

  6. aspiknf   I hope I don't have to repeat everything I've said.  You insist, "if you read the later lines of the first site you'd see that evolution is a scientific theory, not a lamen theory."  What part of Evolutionary biologist Kirk J. Fitzhugh's explanation that evolution is neither a fact nor a single scientific theory that you don't understand ?  Evolution is at best a hypothesis because it has never been tested by the scientific method.  But it can't even be a scientific hypothesis because it is based on the faith that Nature is God, otherwise how can anyone assume Nature can act, choose, and select when there is zero evidence that the inanimate natural environment has any such intelligence ? You said, "A scientific theory is a fact that comes from mountains of evidence and correct correlations"  Not !  What part of "Theories are concepts stating cause–effect relations" you don't understand ?  And what part of "laws, like facts, are unexplained observations." you don't understand ? You said, "You mention Newton's law of Gravity and that's a scientific theory as well as a fact, just like Evolution."  What is it that you don't understand ?  In science, facts and laws cannot be scientific theories, and scientific theories cannot go backwards and become facts or laws because facts and laws do not carry any cause and effect explanation.  Facts and laws are unexplained observations.  No one has yet been able to explain Gravity, not Newton, not Einstein, and definitely not Hawking. Thanks for saying I have a beautiful name.  I hope you are a chick in medical school.  I dig so totally.  If you want to know a scientific theory of evolution, I'll give you one.  Instead of Darwin's E/NS, Evolution by the process of Natural Selection, which is a faith in Nature or God,  Jackie Wu's E/IALO, Evolution by the process of Intelligent Adaptation of Living Organisms is a scientific theory which stops at "intelligence in living organism" which can be scientifically tested and God is not assumed. You mentioned there are mountains of evidence for evolution.  But you must realise that these evidence are for "intelligence in living organisms", not "natural selection".  There is zero, repeat zero evidence for "natural selection"  It is after all living organisms that has undergone any evolution.  They do so as a normal course of the intelligence designed in each and every living organism enabling them to act choose, and select by means of conquering, yielding, altering, changing, or otherwise manipulating the animate natural environment as they survive and reproduce.  The inanimate "Nature" never evolve or reproduce, or injected into the living organisms it "selected" to "be evolved" I think I can help you figure out some of your dilemma about God since you are open minded enough to recognise a first cause.  God means different thing to different people at different time, these are all parts of the One and the same God.  God has infinite parts.  God cannot be God if God is not infinite.  Also God cannot be God if God is merely physical.  God can only be metaphysical.  And our physical reality is only a very, very tiny subset of the infinitely larger metaphysical realty where God reigns.  The singularity is still physical, only condensed, so it cannot be God.  It is an effect of God the first cause, just like physical mass or gravitational force is the effect of the metaphysical concept we called gravity.  Gravity itself, like life or God, cannot be observed for these are non physical.

  24. Luca Martinoli  Hard evidence for God is all around us : the birds and the bees, the flowers and the trees, the fish in the seas, the far galaxies, the food that we eat, the air that we breathe, everything comprehensible and all that is incomprehensible to you and to me.  Mutation does not simply appears.  Rocks don't suddenly appear to have mutated.  Mutation only occur with living organisms because each and every living organism has intelligence designed into it to enable it to survive and to reproduce.  What is needed for mutation to occur was already in the living organism, the inanimate natural environment did not add or inject anything into the living organism which undergone mutation.  Mutation is part of the design, just as survival and reproduction are parts of the design. Darwin's evolution by the process of natural selection did tried to claim the origin of life but was refuted as nonsense.  The original of species should also be refuted for lack of evidence and lack of logic.  Evolution is entirely based on random chance and accidents, claiming minute changes over long period of time amount to speciation.  There is zero evidence that random chance and accidents exist in real life.  The law of cause and effect prohibits the existence of random chance and accidents.  Everything that exist is caused to exist.  This is the law.  Time has been observed to reduce complexity and order into simplicity and chaos and never the other way around.  Time therefor works against evolution.  The more time is involved, the more unlikely is evolution.  Evolution is a mathematical impossibility.

  28. AWZ SmartPhone Looks like I have to repeat myself to you : 1)  Jesus never prophecies, he claimed he is the way, the truth, and the life, and he warned us of false prophets.  Jesus is not a prophet.  Since you showed disrespect of Jesus by calling him a prophet, I have no choice but to point out the facts that Moses, Ibrahim, David, Noah, and Mohammad are all false prophets.  Like Hitler and George Bush, these are politicians, period. 2)  Logic tells me God cannot be God if God needs some human to do God's bidding, and to prophecies is to undermine, marginalize, and misrepresent God.  No one knows the Will of God, not even Jesus.  Anyone who self proclaimed to be a massager for God is a liar.  This is logic. 3)  I do not believe in anything "Holy".  It is meaningless to say, "Anything said by God is holy, anyone sent by God is holy. ........ books (Torah, Bible, and Qur'an) are holy", because these books are not the word of God but of humans.  God communicates with us everyday day, every moment, every instances, every event, and through everything, not by words alone. You said, "Turning a deaf ear to the logical claims of a true religion is not less than accepting a nonsense Darwinism theory.  All religions are "true religion", but not the truth; and Darwinism is just a fairy tale.  Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.  Jesus is a man, not a religion, not  God, not the only Son of God, not Christ, not the Messiah, and not a prophet.  Jesus never claimed what he is not.  Jesus was a man who died 2000 years ago, crucified by his own people for not believing in him, but his spirit is alive today in his teachings which is available in every corner of the world to anyone who is interested in love, peace, and everlasting life.  You said, "You should have a very strong reason to reject logic and/or truth."  I have no reason to reject logic and/or truth, and I have no intention whatsoever to reject logic and/or truth.  Not like some people, I also have no intention to invent, or to follow false logic and/or untruth. You said, ".... it's sad to see you deprived of knowing the truth about our creation, God and prophets."  No one knows the truth, the truth about our creation, or God because these are not knowable to humans.  We humans can only choose to believe or not to believe based on evidence and logical proofs.  As for prophets, I believe they are all false because I believe no one knows the Will of God, not even Jesus. You said, "I can pray to the true God/Allah for your guidance."  Thanks but no thanks, I can talk to God myself, and I do, all the time.  When I pray, I pray the way Jesus taught us how to pray, the Lord's Prayer : Our Father in heaven,hallowed be your name.Your kingdom come,your will be done,on earth, as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread,and forgive us our debts,as we also have forgiven our debtors.And lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from evil. You mentioned, "...../reason of human creation", and you'd said, ".... it doesn't make logic the creator of the entire universe created humans (super intelligent creatures compared to other living things) uselessly without any purpose".  I believe no one knows the reason of human creation because logic tells me that God, or the Will of God, is unknowable to humans.  We humans don't know what is useless or not useless to God, and why, but some people like to make things up and pretend that they do somehow know. I believe in God, I believe in Jesus, and I follow the teachings of Jesus to live an everlasting life of love and of peace.  May the love and the peace of Jesus be with you.

  29. AWZ SmartPhone "Bravo man. You're speaking logic and truth ...."  that's how you started your comment with your first address to me.  Now, "Reading piles of illogical statements made by you,..." is how you would start your comment addressed to me ?  Everything I said is based on truth and verifiable fact.  You have not been able to name one thing I said that is illogical, never mind a pile.  You just wanted me to agree with your prophet and your religion which I replied politely and said, "Sorry, I do not believe in anything "Holy", and I do not believe in any prophecies", and gave my reasons.  You disregarded my reasons for not agreeing with you and started to disrespectfully called Jesus a prophet after I specifically told you that Jesus never prophecies because to prophecies is to undermine, marginalize, and misrepresent God.  I explained to you how logically God is unknowable to humans, but you keep pressing the lies and untruth you believed in on me, without considering you can believe whatever you want to believe but you have no right to say those who disagree with you are illogical without giving any evidence or explanation. You said, "You think you've found the ultimate solution to your problems."  I never made such a statement and in fact I never said I had any problem.  May be you have problems, but not me. You said, " So good luck and enjoy."  I don't believe in luck.  May be you do.  It is illogical and irrational to believe in luck.  The God given law of cause and effect does not permit random chance, luck, and accidents to exist.  Everything that exist is caused to exist.  We call the first cause God, not Luck.  Only superstitious idol worshippers believe in luck. You said, "You believe in not to believe in anything."  That's another lie of yours.  I never said such a thing.  I said I believe in God, and I believe in Jesus.  I don't believe in prophecies, prophets, "Holy" scripture, or any misrepresentation of God and the Will of God. You are a very ungrateful person.  After I wished you the love and the peace of Jesus a couple of times, you repay me with insult, "Your belief in Jesus is a drama as you don't respect his teachings and don't exactly know his message."  You have given zero proof of that, and so you are just being pretentious, obnoxious, and condescending.  You pretend you alone know "exactly" the message of Jesus, and your knowledge is above that of anyone who does not agree with you.  Who do you think you are ?  The authority for God ? You asked, "If Jesus was not a messenger than what that compels you to believe in him at least?"  As with any of my beliefs, logic and reason.  I told you that already last time : the spirit of Jesus is alive today in his teachings.  What about you ?  What compels you to believe in prophecies and to believe in Muhammad being the last prophet sent by God ? May the love and the peace of Jesus be with you.

  42. Desdenova262  People kill people since the beginning of history.  No one knows the Will of God, not even Jesus. Evolution does not explain the origin of life.  And evolution is just a godless fairy tales.  It is neither a fact nor a single scientific theory. Your asked, " First cause could be any number of things couldn't it?"  It could.  We don't know. We just know the first cause exist.  God is not knowable like infinity is not knowable.  We can only know bits and pieces of a small number of parts of God, and of infinity. You asked, "If god is infinite why can't the universe be so?"  Why not ?  There is probably infinite number of infinite universes in the infinite God.  But we don't get to know it, at least not yet. I haven't mentioned ID.  But if you want to talk about it, we can.  Each and every living organism has intelligence designed into it to enables it to survive and to reproduce.  That is a fact.  The logical proof that the intelligence in living organisms is designed is the fact that all matters of intelligence we can observe are designed, like computers and space stations are designed by human with human  intelligence. You said, "a god that is way more complicated must have been designed"  That's a possibility.  But we don't know because we don't get to examine our intelligent designer. You said, "Evolution solves this compounded problem."  The truth is evolution solves nothing and explains nothing.  It is just a faith based on Natural Selection.  Unless by Nature we mean God, Nature has no intelligence to enable Nature to act, choose, and select. You said, "things start out simple and over time become more complex."  The truth is time works against Darwin, not for him.  All our observations confirmed things change from order and complexity into chaos and simplicity over time, and not the other way round.  Further more, chance and necessity does not exist, the law of cause and effect dictates that everything is caused and there can be no accident.  The space capsule carrying Armstrong landed on the moon by design, not by chance,  It could not have landed on the moon, mars or Jupiter by accident.

  50. Ben Dover  So you believe gravity exist.  Do you know that today, that is 300+ years after Newton discovered the law of gravity, no one knows what gravity is ?  We can observe the effects of gravity just like we can observe the effect of God.  But we cannot observe gravity itself just like we cannot observe God.  We don't know what is gravity but we believe in gravity because we can observe and measure the effects of gravity.  Similarly we don't know what is God but we believe in God because we can observe and measure the effects of God.  So if you believe in gravity you should have no problem believing in God. Metaphysics is not science.  It is the foundation of science.  All scientific theories are in essence metaphysical.  I told you that already.  I'll quote a source and I'll give you an example so you may understand it easier.  Per Wiki, "Much recent work has been devoted to analyzing the role of metaphysics in scientific theorizing. Alexandre Koyré led this movement, declaring in his book Metaphysics and Measurement, "It is not by following experiment, but by outstripping experiment, that the scientific mind makes progress."[33] Imre Lakatos maintained that all scientific theories have a metaphysical "hard core" essential for the generation of hypotheses and theoretical assumptions.[34] Thus, according to Lakatos, "scientific changes are connected with vast cataclysmic metaphysical revolutions." For example E=MCC, mass, equal, speed of light, square, are all metaphysical concepts, none of these is physical matter, none of these can be observed. Only their effects can be observed.  They are things thought to exist but cannot be seen.  Definition of metaphysical, per Webster, metaphysical           adjective meta·phys·i·cal \-ˈfi-zi-kəl\ : of, relating to, or based on metaphysics : of or relating to things that are thought to exist but that cannot be seen.
