Internet Jesus Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 We need Intelligent design to line up five of their best arguments, and science will line up five of it's best arguments. Let the research begin, and the first ones to overturn 3 of the opponents arguments wins. I have a feeling that ID won't accept this challenge though.

Maybe someone here, someone who before being an EX strongly believed and argued FOR ID? I am studing astronomy now, mostly at night, with books I have bought. (Studing graphics and 3D animation during the day). I would be happy to debate ID from an astronomy point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hereticzero Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 One challenge, ask them to disprove evolution at the genetic level. This is what sank ID proponents in Ohio(?). Particularly, Ken Miller's argument in favor of evolution. There is a link to the Youtube.com site somewhere on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Harley Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Sagan said it, I believe it, no argument. It works for them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would actually like ID to make 5 predictions, since, AFAICT, there's no theory there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their ace in the hole argument (according to them) is "Irreducible Complexity" and even that fails miserably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MathGeek Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Kind of...*snickering like a little kid*...I saw the word "wager" and I immediately thought of that awesome mathematician who chucked that career to become a Christian theologian. That was a sad day in mathematical history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexton Blake Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 The trouble with any challenge and creationists is that one of them comes up with something we know is wrong but they believe is right (like light has slowed down from near infinite speed), so they believe they have answered the challenge.

LordofGondor Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Let the research begin, and the first ones to overturn 3 of the opponents arguments wins. The talkorigins index to creationist (and ID) claims, talkdesign, and pandasthumb are good places to start. Works already been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
