but creationism doesnt answer why in any meaningfull way. "god did it" isnt much of an asnwer.
its like if your parents says "because i told you so"
English
-
But you are saying that creationism doesn't answer why. "Why is the world here? God did it." I'm not saying that it's correct, but I am saying that I does give an answer to why.
-
i mean, sure. its an answer, but its a shit answer.
-
It doesn't matter if it's a shit answer or not. Creationism gives a distinct answer to [i]why[/i], Evolutionism gives a distinct answer to [i]how[/i]. The simple form of what I said is "You can't debate against something that doesn't even answer the same question." It seems a lot of people in all the debates I see, don't realize that.
-
Well some of us care whether or not that answer is true.

Irrelevant

-
It doesn't matter if you think it's an unfulfilling answer. It is still an answer. You may think that you need more for it to be a viable answer, but you don't.

[quote]You may think that you need more for it to be a viable answer, but you don't.[/quote]why do we bother with science at all if we can just say "god did it" and call it a day and go home?
-
That is your choice. If you want to do that, go right ahead.
-
Well apparently that works for you, so...

I'm non-religious
-
i dont believe you. you dont believe in god, yet you think "god did it" is a sufficient answer to a scientific question? lol

Edited by RichardSalad: 5/1/2015 2:08:38 AMI'm non-religious. I said that "God did it" is answer to why because it is a simplified form of what most Christians will tell you if you ask them why the universe exists. Example: Evolution: [b]Why is there a universe?[/b] I don't know. [b]How are people as they are today?[/b] Because there was a need to adapt and evolve to meet our conditions on earth. Creation: [b]Why is there a universe?[/b] God made a universe because he was lonely and wanted a companion made in his likeness to spend eternity with. [b]How are people as they are today?[/b] I don't know. "God did it" is as much an answer to why, as "because Evolution" is to how.

[quote]Evolution: Why is there a universe? I don't know. [/quote] evolution doesnt cover the origin of the universe...
-
And that is why evolution cannot answer the question of why. I have been trying to explain this.
-
science can explain why. just not when you use evolution to try to explain why the universe began. that's like using a ruler to measure the temperature, yiour using the wrong tool.
-
Science can make a reasonable explanation for the universe, yes, but that's not what this thread is about, is it?
-
[quote]Science can make a reasonable explanation for the universe, yes,[/quote]you were just saying it couldnt
-
No, I said evolution can't. If you think that all science consists of evolution then I have some news for you...[spoiler]it doesn't [/spoiler]

Edited by Jack: 5/1/2015 3:55:50 AMWho cares what the thread is about, just accept that he made a good point.
-
He does make a good point and I acknowledge it but I was talking specifically about evolution not science in general.
