You might try a different intro. Or should I just ban you now?

Link removed.

can you unremove link. I'd like to review it.

Not easy unless backed up, plus not a good idea. We doesn't allow trolls and hit-and-runners to post links in their first post.

Oh come on you guys don't believe in Nephilims and unicorns, but you believe in dinosaurs?? All the dinosaurs have is scientific evidence whereas the Nephilims have a book written 2000 years ago by people who thought the Earth was flat.  Who are you really going to believe??

I like when people fling out bold and ignorant statements; they keep me from wasting my time.

Here is a really great response to each question and goes into a lot more detail than the previous link posted. http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/15_Questions#15._Why_is_evolution_accepted_and_taught_as_science_when_in_fact_it%E2%80%8B_cannot_explain_the_evidence.3F

I don't understand how not being able to answer a question (how was life first created?) some how proves that an atheistic belief is wrong or the existence of God.

Just because science can't explain something today, or maybe ever, doesn't prove that it was created by a super natural being.

You're preaching to the choir here, buddy.

I do believe I'm going to like this forum.  By the way, what is a "troll".  Someone that reads but never posts or something else?

^^ That's a lurker.

A troll is someone who intentionally tries to get people wound up. See also http://www.happyatheistforum.com/forum/index.php?board=48.0

My goodness.  They do get going don't they.  Me thinks people that get all excited about atheists are just insecure in their beliefs.

The thread that The Ali linked has some excellent examples. In addition, here are three useful resources to get you up to speed.

I love this quote! It describes exactly what you are saying:

As Kenneth Miller puts it, the illusion of design to a creationist is
" .....a negative argument in the sense that their proof of the existence of a designer is the alleged inadequacy of evolution to account for these complex features. What's wrong with that explanation is that it's a contrived dualism. It's an argument that says, "Either evolution can explain everything, or we can invoke an intelligent designer" ... The whole idea of intelligent design is a confession on the part of its advocates that they actually can't get any evidence at all in favor of a designer. So what they resort to is the notion that it's either evolution or it's design. And if evolution right now, today, cannot explain everything, that lack of a complete explanation amounts to evidence for the other side."

Ah!  Ye Olde false dichotomy.  There is an excellent book my Robert Gula, Nonsense: A Handbook of Logical Fallacies  all about critical thinking and the pitfalls people fall into when offering arguments.

I have faithfully read the Troll posts and will strive not to be one.
