Well part of his Argument is what he thinks the Catholic Church's position is. In this case though multiple Popes have said otherwise.

That's a waste of perfectly inhabitable territory. We just need to replace all the people in charge by expanding the surrounding states until there's no more Texas. Maybe leave a few square miles in the middle.

Funny when asked for falsifiable theories I am ignored.

The I'D lot along with creationist simply lack them, God did it is the only thing they have. unfalsifiable by nature unless they can prove such a God exists and it is their god.

Ps: I am of a belief but I know it belongs in religious studies or philosophy, not a science class room.

Pope Francis has tried to make the church not look ridiculously outdated, so I'm doubting he'd ever reverse that position.

Atheism isn't lies. It, and more so science, has evidence and logic. And it isn't a doctrine.

No, it would not. And it's not my agenda to prove that whatever I believe is true. It is always part of my agenda to get people aware of their double standards. Certain people keep repeating themselves, saying "but there is undeniable proof!" Except that it's not undeniable. If it were there wouldn't be educated, intellectually-inclined individuals and groups debating it. Something is only undeniable when it can be proven beyond a doubt, which evolutionary theory fails to do. The favored sources of evidence cited by those on the pro-evolution side consist of "proofs" which are limited in scope, circulated and re-circulated among select scholarly circles, and then presented to the masses as the undeniable musings of intellectually infallible "scientists" who largely won't admit that they have their own bias. To respond to a few others, no, I don't "concede". My thrashing of Divair stems from other times that he has spoken condescendingly toward me, coupled with watching him do it to others on a regular basis, even when he's proven wrong. Although even if he were right all the time, he shouldn't speak to people the way that he does. That was the purpose of my "ragequit", to quote another poster.


Except you haven't demonstrated anything. Except an inability to field a logical argument. Which leads me back to my original point. Prove your claims or admit you are wrong. It's really that simple.
