Science makes Atheism hard to believe

Con: "predicts a generally ordered fossil record." And the fossil record is not ordered. What fossils they do find are dealt with in the manner below. "Whale Evolution" http://youtu.be... Con: "those animals most well-suited to thrive in an environment will survive at a higher rate and pass on their advantageous traits to offspring." Survival of the fittest proves variation of a particular species. If the only way to get the seed is a long beak, of course the long beaked birds are all that survives. But...you still have the same creature. The long beak is simply a part of the many variations available to that bird. But the bird does not begat anything outside of the programmed construct of its kind. Sure, my offspring could be taller than me, but they are still 100% human. That's just a trait available to human kind. * Evolutionary palaeontologist Stephen Gould in his book called "The Panda’s Thumb" reflecting on Darwin’s pain noted: “the fossil record had caused Darwin more grief than joy.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org...(book) “We need more fossils” Dawkins in his book entitled "The Greatest Show on Earth." In turning his back on the fossil record Dawkins tried to push the term “comparative evidence”. “Comparative evidence has always, as I suggested at the beginning of this chapter, told even more compelling than fossil evidence.” No matter what the “comparative evidence” is in real life, Dawkins did not say what it is. He ditched the fossil record as essential evidence for Darwinian Evolution. “We don’t need fossils in order to demonstrate that evolution is a fact.” So an undefined philosophy is a fact? I don't think so. https://www.amazon.com... Reworking" and "downwash" are used to explain fossils not in agreement with Darwinian Theory; "overthrusts," to be discussed shortly, are used to explain much larger numbers of such fossils. http://www.thefreedictionary.com... http://www.pathlights.com... http://evolution-facts.org... * "If you don't believe that, you're not a Muslim." Says who? The universal religion czar? If someone declares themselves a Muslim, but doesn't recite the Shahada, Con has authority to declare them not a Muslim? Where does this authority come from? Allah? * Infinity = "all possible things available to Darwinism" Con: "Not sure where you're getting this definition from." There are infinite sets of different sizes. For example, the set of integers is countably infinite, while the infinite set of real numbers is uncountable. If X = {a, b, c} and Y = {apples, oranges, peaches}, then | X | = | Y | because { (a, apples), (b, oranges), (c, peaches)} is a bijection between the sets X and Y. The cardinality of each of X and Y is 3. If X = infinity and Y = darwinian evolution, and X and Y exist in relative space together, infinity + darwinian evolution = all possibilities given to darwinian evolution, and infinitely. Infinity = the 100% chance that the highest possible being by darwinian means must exist and infinitely. https://en.m.wikipedia.org... * Con: "controversy within the community of theoretical physicists about whether anything string theory predicts can even be detected or measured in our reality." It is irrelevant. The equations used to describe the universe are simply mathematics. These mathematical facts are used in the construct of String Theory. It's like saying 2+2 = 4 is wrong because it was used in an unproveable theory. * Con: "I have never heard the claim that the Fermi Paradox dictates that our galaxy should be teeming with life at all, let alone intelligent life." -Drake states that given the uncertainties, the original meeting concluded that N = L, and there were probably between 1000 and 100,000,000 civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org... * Con: "Have you any proof that no life exists anywhere else?" This is a disproving of a negative. Do I have proof that fairies, unicorns, or flying spaghetti monsters do not exist? Of course not. The burden of proof is on Con on that one. Show us the aliens.
