Two Last-Ditch Arguments

There are two major arguments that I have noticed that evolutionists always use after you present solid evidence against their theory. These are things that they mention as a last resort before walking away (or not responding, in the case of the Internet).

Those who are not scientists, and who are desperate humanists (or very young), will swear at you and tell you that you’re a religious nut and therefore cannot be listened to. In other words, if you differ from his view, you are not allowed to speak (or exist). That of course is not logical at all and we’re not going to deal with that extensively.

Those who are scientists (or very scientific) will say that Creationism has not been approved by the leading scientific boards and societies, and is therefore not up for discussion and must be false. Now let’s just pretend that science only stayed in one position and never changed its stance on a subject. Then we wouldn’t have nearly all the discoveries that have come about since the beginning of time. The fact is that most of the leading scientific boards are loaded with evolutionists. Why? It’s because the board would reject any creationist that would want a seat. If an editor of a scientific journal decides to publish an article that suggests an ID perspective, he gets booted from his job (that really happened, by the way). So the sensible evolutionist is really saying, “My side doesn’t accept your view, therefore your view is false.” Well of course the evolutionist side wouldn’t accept the creationist view; they’re polar opposites. That statement is illogical. It doesn’t prove anything besides the fact that two sides disagree. Not to mention that there are plenty of creationist organizations and societies out there that have a growing membership.

Another facet of this false argument is that the Darwinists always pooh-pooh the lists of scientists that are members of creationist societies. They scoff at the lists of astronomers, biologists, geologists, etc., etc., etc., that are enrolled in creationist ranks. They claim that those fields are not science, and those people are not scientists, because they don’t accept evolution when they do their work. I guess they’re just disappointed that we don’t have 3,000 evolutionary biologists working for us who plaster feathers onto reptiles and put knee joints on ape bones.

Okay, that was being overly sarcastic, but I can’t resist poking fun.

Very good post, I have had this done to me allot of times when I have debated people on Google Group. They also say to me since I am 15 that I dont know what I am talking about. And really you do need to look into stuff when a teen is telling you something but they dont want too.

Just tell them to look into what you're telling them. It doesn't matter if it comes from a 52 year old, or a 4 year old; if it's true, you should pay attention to it.
