in thread Who is your favorite scientist and why?

would you agree that life evolves from ignorance to intelligence?
Sometimes it does. Most of the time it doesn't.
please point out to me a life form that goes from intelligence to ignorance
Homo Sapiens e.g. the Dark Ages, The Islamic Reformation etc (just read some history).
if mutation or other biological factors are your argument then you have only proven my point and beliefs.
How does mutation require a creator?
like i said, i am agnostic and i do believe in a creator
Then please check the definition of agnostic - it's someone who doesn't know if there's a creator or not. True Agnosticism means admitting we don't know how something works, not looking for an easy answer like a creator.
why are we not still trying to hide from predators?
Oh but we are. Where do you think racism comes from. Why are so many people unwilling to give up their guns, etc.
you can quote a charming phrase, but that does not mean it should be the only path to intelligence.
The purpose of the quote is to only to reveal things that you haven't considered or are ignoring.

    most of these were answered in the chatterbox while you were here. i want to answer this one question, again. YES i am agnostic. i believe that there is no way to prove or disprove god (yet, let it answer itself already). but i also believe that there very well could be a creator. the evidence, to me, strongly suggest that there is and i will believe that until enough evidence stacks up against me and so far your attempt to derail my beliefs have came up short.
    have a nice day
      most of these were answered in the chatterbox while you were here.
      And how do you know when I was here? Someone being logged in doesn't mean they are near the computer. In any case this is a public forum, so other folks reading this may well think you are avoiding the questions ... but that's your choice.
      and so far your attempt to derail my beliefs have came up short
      Asking you to provide evidence to support your claims is not an attempt to derail your beliefs. It is an attempt to make sense of your claims, because sadly the evidence you provided is not anything solid, only wishful thinking and arguments-from-ignorance.

      I don't mean to sound negative, I understand how comfortable it is to believe that the universe has a purpose - I used to believe that myself many years ago.

        what made you stop believing?
