So, you have seen the movie?
I saw the clip you posted. Thing is, I've read pretty much all of the creationist arguments. Either the books that I've read (yes, I read material from the enemy), videos, or chats on the internet with people like yourself. But if they present anything new, let me know....ya know, like an actual theory of what's going on rather than just religious speculation...or something testable...or evidence that is something more than trying to poke holes in evolutionary theory.
You randomly brought up our talk a while back about the Dawkins article "The Information Challenge." Despite the fact that Dawkins answered the question, and despite the fact that the "rebuttal" was written by a lawyer on a Christian payroll, not an unbiased specialist in the field, and despite the fact that I answered even his objections (which you ignored)...you mentioned the other day that it was the type of question a "critical" person would ask. Quite true. Except that's as far as you go before perverting science. At that point you assume your correctness, and don't bother to offer an alternative...if A is false, B must be true? Really? What about C or D? Oh, but those answers aren't "God" so they must be false by default too. It's the same tactics as always. Also, let's say creationists proved evolution wrong on one or two points...huzzah! Yet it doesn't invalidate teh entire theory, which has mountains of empirical tests and evidence to its credit thus far. Science can change, dogmatic religion apparently can't, which is why it needs to obscure the facts and hide behind a smoke that is its lack of evidence.
As always, it comes down to evidence. You have none. All you have is an uncanny ability to question a fairly rock solid theory with such obscure (often misinterpreted or false) minutia that you can hide behind your religious veil without actually stepping into true scientific inquiry. Your critical questions aren't critical, they're vindictive, and they stifle true inquiry.
So please, tell me how the video proves God, or what it brings that's new to the table. Otherwise, it's the same cycle creationism has been through for a while.
Maybe ID is right. We just have no way of knowing from the world around us, and the evidence available to us, which all points to the contrary.
