Here’s an interesting article on ‘the disproof of spontaneous generation’. http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/abioprob/spontaneous-generation.html
Obviously Pasteur didn’t (in the late 19th century) disprove “the evolutionary tenet of spontaneous generation”. That much should be obvious to any clear thinker.

Creationists do love to quote Ernest Haeckel. He did support evolution, though wasn’t struck on natural selection - Rob enjoys asking questions about his theories to catch the unsuspecting.

I think the primary point about ‘time being the hero’ is that given enough time the statistically unlikely becomes possible - and thus makes something that initially appears “statistically unlikely” plausible.

Anyway, evolution and spontaneous generation of life are not one and the same. For example what’s wrong with saying ‘yes, I agree with evolutionary theory however I must admit I have no opinion how life first entered the universe! However I know those pesky scientists are trying to figure it out.”

MCWAY you said “No one has seen a bird evolve from a reptile”. This is true, however, how do you think scientists come up with the various branches on the ‘tree of life’? Have you looked into this? Are you saying that ‘because it’s not been seen, it can’t of happened’?

Again MCWAY you’re banging away not really attempting to understand evolution or science. Where’s your evidence for your beliefs? I can quote yet more papers at you (but I doubt you’d read them)… each providing a little piece of evidence for evolution… where’s your evidence? Or shall we just say you do take your beliefs on “faith”, blind or otherwise.

Thanks for the insults… It’s nice to see that when an atheist defends/discusses/argues his side of things (on an atheist website no less) they are insulted for it!

I’ve posted many links myself to actual scientific journals/reports… which of these great scientists did you disagree with? You make out that people have actually posted scientific reports that confirm creationism or proven evolution false… I’ve not seen them…. please point them out so I can go back and check them?

It’s a shame you only believe a “little” science…

What’s all this about ‘not wanting to be wrong’? Because I’m not convinced and I’m arguing against creationism that means I’m “the kind of person who cannot stand being wrong and you will do whatever it takes to enforce your beliefs are what is true”? Now, isn’t religious folks who tend to “do whatever it takes to enforce your beliefs are what is true”, like in the bible for example!?

Considering you said “like people trying to stab at each other i found that quiet annoying”… thanks for the stabbing Niss.

Have a nice day now!

So you are assuming that the evolution theory we all know and love is one and the same with the “chemical evolution” theory?

“How do fossils prove your beliefs? Have they found a ‘God’ fossil?”

This started from “This is all conjecture… there’s no proof of the census… you take it on faith because it’s mentioned in the bible. Pure and simple.”

Then Rob tried to make out Luke is some kind of totally accurate historical document…

I pointed out that “Luke is not considered by any historian - full of verifiable facts…. it’s a story.”

Meaning that although there will be historicity to the document, primarily historians realise that Luke is a story. (A point I’m trying to demonstrate with the Da Vinci Code story).

If you can’t understand that, then you clearly are not trying.

Where’s your evidence for demons by the way? You’re still strangely quiet about it?
