(Pro) Atheistic evolution vs Christian creationism (con)

Stupidape: "My opponent must take a literal Christian approach to creationism. This is because, I don't want to have to hit a moving target...." I am not a Christian. I'm Jewish. Though I believe I'll be a suitable punching bag. :) I believe in God, the Torah, and creationism. I reject abiogenesis, speciation, and macroevolution. I believe empathy proves creationism and disproves evolution. I also believe Science is a rookie subjugated by its own interpretations. Empathy Argument: Predation, breeding quarrels, territorial disputes, suffering, disease, and environmental changes. All of this is governed by the Darwinian principle, "survival of the fittest." Evolution doesn't have an umpire, yet we constantly see various species saying, "to hell with darwinian principles." We hear it by their actions. I saw a guerrilla documentary. The cameramen came across some guerrillas attempting to rescue a dog. Poachers had placed some wiretraps in the area, and an unlucky dog stepped in it. The cameramen were amazed at how the guerrillas were trying to free the horrified dog's paw from the clutches of the wiretrap. The guerrillas were unsuccessful. A cameraman freed the dog after they left. Abiogenesis didn't give them guerrillas empathy. Abiogenesis has no traits to pass along to us. Evolution? Nope. Evolution is as hard as nails. That dog's existence would not benefit the guerillas. I've also seen apes do morbid things. I've seen bonobos raping their young. http://www.skepticink.com... (Couldn't find the videos, but found this) I've seen a chimp torture a frog to death. Entertainment by cruelty. Evolution doesn't care. Empathy is hard to find. We all live in a broken world, and empathy is the first step in fixing it. That's the heart of Judaism. I'm a vegetarian. It saddens me the way animals are treated. Evolution doesn't care. Our ever growing cravings for meat have created concentration camps for animals. The Torah has something to say about animals. Deuteronomy 25:4 " don't muzzle the ox who threshes grain." The ox is allowed to stop turning the millstone and eat the grain. Deuteronomy 22:10 " do not plow with an ox and a donkey harnessed together." The uneven strengths would hurt both animals. Evolution doesn't care. Animals should not be forced to eat what they'd never eat. Nor should they be forced to bare undue burdens. Factory farms feed cattle poultry litter. Poultry litter is the agriculture industry"s term for the detritus that gets scooped off the floors of chicken cages and broiler houses. It"s mainly a combination of feces, feathers, and uneaten chicken feed, but in addition, a typical sample of poultry litter might also contain antibiotics, heavy metals, disease-causing bacteria, and even bits of dead rodents, according to Consumers Union. Our factory farms (concentration camps) are exceedingly efficient. Lots of mouths to feed, and they get the job done. It's efficient for mankind to do this. Billions of people want beef. Ole MacDonald's farm can't meet our demands. But it makes this teary-eyed Jew saddened beyond remedy. Evolution doesn't care. It's survival of the fittest. We've conquered the cow. Glory to us! Abiogenesis gave us no conscience. Screw the cows. Well, God cares. He gave us a conscience. He's even giving animals a conscience. Yesterday I stumped my toe on the coffee table, and Opie (my chiwawa) came running. He licked my toe. He was very concerned about me. Evolution is not concerned about my toe. Scientific Interpretations: "Evolution is the best explanation based on our interpretation of the evidence."____Richard Dawkins Scientists are not part of a conspiracy theory. They're not holding evolution in one hand and flipping God off with the other. Many Scientists are religious. It must annoy them when someone like me insists that they're wrong. When my mechanic tells me, my truck needs a new starter, I don't reject his diagnosis. I accept it on authority. I'm not a mechanic. When it comes to abiogenesis, speciation, evolution in general, I will not\never accept it on authority. There's too much at stake. If they're right, it doesn't matter how we treat animals, or each other. All that matters is efficiency. It's survival of the fittest. Can my violence defeat your violence. Sure, we can be good for goodness sake, but what about those brains that don't acknowledge such sentiments? There's been many books written about the gaps of evolution. Those things that don't fit. Many internet sites are devoted to this as well. This subject doesn't need my two cents' worth thrown in as well. I do believe it's plausible that scientists may discover something that discounts Darwin's theory. Until then, I'm not a scientist. I'll leave that to others. Question: Stupidape, I assume you're not a Vulcan. Other than, "give me the facts only" world view, why do you WANT "atheistic evolution" to be true? As a vegetarian, I appreciate that you're a vegan. Evolution doesn't care what you eat. Predation is the god of evolution. However, there's a God who put empathy in your soul, and allows you to tweak your conscience in accordance with your world view.
