    You know, if I was told that some superior being (?) used the evolution method by trial & error to accomplish "creation", I could accept that far, FAR quicker than as taught today.
    But for some reason (?) I really can't fathom the Creator I know using a trial & error method to get the results He wants. :thumbs:

    What does the fact that this is a Baptist site have to with discusing any model except for perhaps naturalistic models?

    the design inference argues the existence of a designer based on high improbability and complexity, and the existence of information.

    I see many respected theologians and christian thinkers who make that precise point.....the anthropic principle. I think it is a VERY convincing argument based on reason.

    I "personally" think IR is a great concept and have great respect for it.....and have said so before. For "me" it is one observation which I believe argues convincingly against naturalistic ( neo-darwininan) evolution.

    I like Behe and his ideas.

    I will also state that there are also some strong arguments explaining such in purely biological processes.

    You should understand.....I am NOT naturalist in my thinking.

    Unless those advocating Evolutionary Creationism are able to answer these questions, the whole idea lacks credibility.
    1) If the earth (and our solar system) formed from a presolar nebula which contained ejecta from at least one prior supernova, how do we know our dates do not reflect the age of nebula debris formations?

    2) If all the species evolved from other species, from what did the first species evolve?

    3) Could the Bible, Job 38, be right and we do not know how God created everything? ​

    Something to read from, it doesn't have to be a faith or science decision, you can have both
