It sounds like that site which purports to espouse critical thinking, seems to be saying in the episodes listed more that they are interested in politically correct thinking. For instance the first dude, listed as a scientist, which would indicate he is the evolution believer and the other dude a creationist, would indicate that the scientist should have realized the other dude was not civilized by his first foray into the subject at hand, creationism V evolution and not continued to argue with a person who thinks with his fists or worse.

It appears to me that in your examples the harm is in denying creation.

Evolution does NOT deny creation.

Well, evolutionists deny that creation was an act of God. Is that better?

No, they do not necessarily deny God's role in creation, either. For example, I believe God created the universe, but that modern cosmological theory, aka the 'Big Bang', was how he did it. Evolution, similarly, was his tool to create all the life on our planet. So, neither evolution nor the Big Bang deny God.

I believe you would be called a theistic evolutionist. However, there are the atheist evolutionists that I was really referring to.

So when you said
"Well, evolutionists deny that creation was an act of God. "
You really meant to say;
"Well, atheist evolutionists deny that creation was an act of God. "

Which doesn't add much to the debate.

I think the classic Big Bang model is dead ........some atheist/evolutionist are militant against the idea of a god doing anything. However the key word I would say is some. To be fair there are also militant creationists who totally dismiss anything and evolutionist would say.

This has to be one of the top ten moments on this forum.

Alas, it will be forgotten.

If it were an uncharacteristic slip-up, I would agree.

I'm a much bigger fan of RBHILL. He has a similar inane spiritual outlook, but he is far more entertaining to read.

How would you like to define "classic Big Bang model"?
