Hay so what did Godel do? Mathematically prove nothing can be proven lol?Have you not heard of Gödel who proved that science cannot prove everything?
Well said.And when we forget that we use them, that is when they turn into DOGMAS...

I see. So you maintain that because bacteria do not spontaneously appear in sterilised swan necked beakers, life without divine intervention is impossible. Is this an example of the reasoning faculties you believe qualifies you to lecture others on logic?jinx wrote:Look in any dictionary under abiogenesis. Take note of spontaneous generation. They are the same thing just renamed because the evo myth needs a creation myth. Yet another way evolutionary dogma hurts science.

Predict? Can you point me to any paper prior to the confirmation of CBR, in which any YEC physicist predicted it?jinx wrote:There is YEC physicists who predict the CMB in their model.
What you have here seems to be two examples of a syllogism, as made famous by Aristotle.jinx wrote:Yes the CMB exists. But attaching one cause and one cause only to it is a logical fallacy ie.
1) If i eat a pizza i will be full.
2) I am full.
3) Therefore i just ate a pizza.
Well there could be any number of reasons i am full not just eating a pizza (i drank lots of water, ate a chicken etc etc)
1) If there was a big bang there would be a CMB
2) There is a CMB
3) Therefore there was a big bang.
Well there could be any number of reasons why there is a CMB not jut the big bang ( it could be because Genesis 1:1-31 took place ~6,000 years ago in 6 plain days). The big bang was only thought up last 100 years or so obviously the CMB existed before then so it is an after the fact prediction. Thats how all of big bang/'evolution' works. -Observe ANYTHING in the present, incorporate it into the model, present it as a prediction-observation-prediction confirmed model.
'Modern science' is done by man. Man is flawed. Man has a priori postulates they bring to data (everyone on earth).You seem to be suggesting that modern science is based on some type of Aristotelian ontology?

I can believe in a flying spaghetti monster inside a teapot circling around the sun and invisible dragons. Neither has been observed so it is not science. Likewise life from non living matter has never been observed (and why would it given there is no law of chemistry that says matter left alone will spontaneously generate into the genetic code through natural processes) hence belief in such a process is not science (it is actually delusional but to each his own). Like if someone came up to anyone in the street and said 'I just saw life (a worm whatever) come from non living matter' they would be looked at like they are delusional. Adding 'billions and billions' of years into the formula is the key ingredient when brainwashing young minds in public schools. Nothing+ nothing=nothing. Nothing+nothing+ time= well that equals everything. Got a problem? Just add time. Problem solved.So you maintain that because bacteria do not spontaneously appear in sterilised swan necked beakers, life without divine intervention is impossible. Is this an example of the reasoning faculties you believe qualifies you to lecture others on logic?
Any model with the CMB is an after the fact prediction (including the big bang). But propaganda preaches that it is specific to the big bang. Any model would HAVE TO predict it. It is in the present. Like me coming up with a model to explain the origin of my laptop. My laptop is black so my model would have to predict a black laptop.Predict? Can you point me to any paper prior to the confirmation of CBR, in which any YEC physicist predicted it?

Evolutionists believe that by chance, a living organism can arise from nonliving matter.
Explain that.
DNA was not originally formed from a random process. And you know what? Those rocks on Irish coast were not generated by a "random process" either. There are perfectly-physical processes in the universe that generate order through self-organization. They happen because of known laws, not because of spirits or divine designers. DNA is no exception. There was an order-creating chemical processes (probably involved in the auto-catalysis of RNA) that eventually gave rise to DNA. Very recent research has shown us that RNA has auto-catalytic capacities.
You are operating on a dichotomy that has been indoctrinated into your worldview by creationist literature. The false dichotomy that you must realize is that any ordered pattern in the universe was
(1) created by random chance.
(2) or specifically designed by a intelligent spirit being.
This is a false dichotomy. There are order-forming processes in nature, and these things arise by known laws. These laws are understood in a branch called Statistical Physics.
You have claimed that DNA is evidence of divine intervention in the physical world. I have directly, clearly, succinctly, and relevantly posted material all over this forum (and within this very thread) regarding this exact topic. At this point, your brain is no longer processing the things we are telling you.jinx wrote: Its not just a random sequence of monomers (single units, amino acids for proteins, nucleotides for DNA/RNA) needed its the sequence that dictates function ie the letters on this page if just a random crap shoot of 26 possibilities would yield no/close to no information, its the sequence (that had to come from a conscious source) that gave them there 'information' content.
jinx, each time you have posted this you only give us a partial conclusion. Russell's teapot analogy goes on to say that people ( such as yourself) embrace the logic, but are reluctant to apply the same test to the existence of a deity. The evidence you present is the same. There is no reason to assume a God, teapot, Spaghetti Monster, or worms spontaneously appearing out of nothing.jinx wrote:http://oxforddictionaries.com/definitio ... ?q=science

Celestial spheres have never been observed, Phlogiston has never been observed, the lumineferous aether has never been observed and, to my knowledge, life from non living matter has never been observed. They are all scientific hypotheses, its just that three of the four have been proved false. The other is a work in progress which, for all that science knows will be proved false; the point is you can test it by experiment. It is people who believe things that cannot in principle be proved false who have delusional religious faith.jinx wrote:http://oxforddictionaries.com/definitio ... ?q=science

Being limited in scope to what is observable could be considered a limit to science. There are some other limits.jinx wrote: the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment:

I was answering tillingborn's post and the question was also addressed to HIM.I have specifically and directly and consciously addressed this exact issue right inside of this thread. You are not even reading the posts on this website forum anymore. Absolutely no one claims that life emerged on earth "by chance". Tornadoes do not form by chance. Hexagonal rock formations on the coast of Ireland do not form by chance. Snowflakes do not form by chance. And DNA did not form by chance. In case you missed it (you obviously missed it) here is me repeating myself from earlier in this thread:

"Why are things they way they are?"
Science can not answer this question. I happen to think that science is completely impotent in this question, and that is another limit to science.
Similarly, science cannot explain why there are any particular facts in this universe at all. Scientists of all stripes engage in squirrely and exotic explanations to try to explain why there are facts in the world.
I made a thread about this here in the forum. viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9904
"Can all facts of today be traced in an unbroken, causal history all the way back to the Big Bang?"
Ask this question on any philosophy forum, blog, or chat room. You will shocked/surprised to find that there is no consensus in any of the answers you receive from a crowd. (Is the universe "causally closed" or do quantum fluctuations in every second of the day end up creating facts in the world today?) The inability for anyone to agree on these questions indicates that foundational notions of causality are still confused and unsettled amongst us.
