Creationist defends bible and attacks straw man version of evolution

So looks like Peer Review does equal Peer Pressure.

And the education system is also, as well, a kind of Scientific religious indoctrination system.

I thought so, but thank you all so much for confirming these things!

Interesting that you refer to a "religious indoctrination system" as a bad thing. Couldn't agree with you more.

Of course, there is evidence that the education system has failed some people while the religious indoctrination system succeeded them.

Thanks for confirming that.

Carl Sagan wasn't the one who posted a blunder here.

So, you accept that God didn't make the Earth at the same time he made the Heavens.
The stars and supernova had to produce the heavy elements first before they were seeded to space to form nebula, from which the solar system formed.
And, where is that Bible quote containing the words ''Star dust''?

 

No, my argument is with your fairy tale stories. The accretion disk or star dust from whence the Sun ignited and the solar system formed was denser towards the center and less dense out towards the edges. This is why the terrestrial planets like Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are closer towards the Sun then the gaseous giants further out, and the icy giants even further out. The stardust/dirt was my own reasoning.

 

Wishful thinking may enforce your own personal myths, but they do not register on the scale of sensibilities.
The peer review system is simply a standard methodology applied to scientific papers to ensure correctness, and conclusive results as best as possible.
And of course any education system based on the scientific methodology, is logically far more desirable then religious indoctrination, based on an obscure book, written by obscure men, from an obscure age.

 

I want to share my cake and eat it to. That way I can avoid people who don't like the way I bake my cake....

Agreed.

Carl Sagan is dead, and any blunders are mine.

Thanks Q!

 

It seems to me like Frankenstein would have a better chance of bringing his Monster to life, than Abiogenesis would ever have, with random chemicals and lightning, by accident.

Frankenstein would be easier for me to believe in by far!

But, I also believe that you should be free to believe in your magical “Prebiotic Soup” if you wish to, even though there is no evidence for it whatsoever.

That is completely fine, as long as you keep your beliefs to yourself and don’t hurt the people who disagree with you.

Atheists have already imprisoned and killed too many as it is.

And Theists have imprisoned and killed far too many as well.

Seems like we just tend to kill each other no matter what we believe in.

Even now, we are using the most sophisticated scientific technology we can to build even faster delivery vehicles for our Nuclear weapons.

Just think, very soon we will be able to destroy every living human on Earth in just a few minutes.

Aren’t we special!

 

It is indeed very unlikely. You'd need millions and millions of years to get even a very simple self-replicating molecule.

Fortunately life had millions and millions of years to get that single self-replicating molecule. Life had at LEAST 400 million years to begin.

Haven't heard of any atheist crusades or inquisitions.

We could definitely do that. (So could the natural world.)
