Well Nitro, it has been great fun seeing you twist and turn to avoid being "hit" by any argument brought up in this discussion
Quote:
because there are very few here who know the major points of evolutionary theory, and almost noone here can understand Einsteins theories, which certainly have relevance to universe' origins.
Do you know the major points of evolutionary theory? Do you understand Einsteins theories? I know you never claimed that you would, thats why I am asking you now.

As a matter of fact the journey from hypothesis to theory is anything but orderly. What makes a hypothesis a theory? When 50% of the scientists agree? Or when all of the dissenters are gone? Its ridiculous that a theory is only true when it is accepted by the majority of scientist...
True science delegates every theory to a provisional, tentative, arguable status...nothing like the tautology and numbers game seen today.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you want to validate the creationist world view as a scientific theory that is equal to the Theorie of Evolution. If not then I am sorry, but if so, then I have to disagree.
The act of creation like it literarily is described in the bible has been disproven by the discovering of ancient fossiles of dinosaurs. Following the 7-Day creation of the world and all life no dinosaur fossiles would exist.
Creationists however try to avoid this rather solid argument by claiming that god would have put this "fake" fossiles there to be found by humans.
Introducing God, a beeing that acts on its own behalf and whos actions are rather random (from a scientific point of view) disqualifies a theorie from beeing scientific.
With God anything can be true or untrue. A real scientific theorie should know no exceptions.
It is as if i was to say: "There is no gravity" "But why did that apple just fall down then?" "Ah well, God must have thought it would be better for the apple to fall to earth, so he made it fall - oh look the bird over there is flying, see, there is no gravity"
Or: "There is no gravity .. except SOMETIMES (and it is not possible to tell when and when not), if God WANTS it to be there (and you never know when he wants it to be there and when not)...."
... don't you realize what a backstep this is??
