Comment on Gary Gilbert, Spectrum, and Pseudogenes by Gene Fortner.

@Pauluc:
Argument from Personal Incredulity: In this fallacy, one argues that because they do not personally find a premise to be likely or believable, it cannot be true, regardless of evidence. The fallacy lies in presenting one’s beliefs about a proposition as evidence. (The biggest darwinian fallacy against Intelligent Design and for Evolution)

The reason atheists and theistic evolutionists are so deathly afraid of Intelligent Design is that if it is accepted that Design in Nature is detectable using the scientific method (and it most surely is) then the next step is a search for the Designer. And we all know where that would lead. Can’t let that foot in the door. That would be the judge.

It is amazing to me that anyone who is interested in truth would only use second hand information about a topic. Most who are against ID are woefully ignorant of its concepts.

@Professor Kent: Professor,

Faith describes the mental process by which we believe something on the basis of evidence or authority. We place value on that evidence and act accordingly. Its value or worth depends on the quality of person, concept, or evidence that evokes conviction and commitment. It follows that faith in error will not produce the fruit of truth no matter how sincere a person may be. Biblical faith involves the intellect, the will and commitment.

Bill “How inane would it be to claim an apple tree is not an apple tree unless and until it has apples on it?”

Bill,

Comparing babies and apple trees is a bit more inane than comparing apples and oranges.

BTW,

“The ONLY DEFINITION FOR SIN that we have in the Bible is that it is the transgression of the law… IT CONDEMNS EVERY SIN, AND REQUIRES EVERY VIRTUE.” E.G. White, ST, March 3, 1890 par. 3.

If it is a sin to possess a fallen nature then there must be a law against it. Has God given a law forbidding anyone from being conceived with a fallen human nature? If there ever was a law that was impossible to keep, this would be it, for how could one choose not to violate it before one existed?!

Ethan,

IMHO,

No statement was necessary.

In fact I consider it thoughtless.

FB#6 should have absolutely no effect on their ability to support the world church and perform work faithfully and with integrity.

@Bill Sorensen:

Bill,

Sin is transgression of the law.

Where does it say being born is a sin?
