Hi Jerry, it is a fact that biological evolution is part of science, just like so many other areas of science such as geology, or physics, or chemistry, or others. This is a fact, and I gave you references that prove this. The issue is not whether you agree with the science, the issue is that evolution is science, not religion, and the references I gave prove that. People who deny the facts are (1) ignorant, (2) incompetent, or (3) deceitful.

Geology, physics and/or chemistry are all considered science because they are testable by the empirical senses. Evolution is not testable by the empirical senses. Therefore it is not science.

"Evolution is not testable by the empirical senses."

If you weren't ignorant and too lazy to research or understood how science works and what it is, you'd realize this statement is, in very simple terms, wrong. Jerry D. McDonald, you are a prime example for a gullible, ignorant creationist - the #1 target for money-hungry people and organizations like Kent Hovind and the CSE Ministry.

Notice how Jerry has shifted the subject. Now it's not just biological evolution. Now he's referring more specifically to macroevolution. Bear in mind he's so clueless about science he thinks the earth didn't exist more than about 6,000 years ago, and so in his scientifically illiterate mind he thinks of the entire fossil record as a chaotic morasse laid down in a worldwide flood. The more YECs pretend they don't ignore the facts, the more they do.

Jerry, macroevolution IS microevolution. The distinction is that macroevolution refers to the *effects* of microevolution over substantial periods of time. Thus, scientific study of macroevolution involves differing areas of science in some of the same areas as those for microevolution but also different areas (such as paleontology). In regard to having an unscientific mind, all of us - including you - already know that young earth creationism does not exist in professional science today.

So, in other words, if a person comes to the conclusion that the earth is young, then this person is basing it on religion, not science, and is therefore not a professional scientist regardless of his credentials or his work?

Jerry, as usual you get things backwards and put the cart before the horse. The "conclusion" that the earth is young is not professional science. Period. Young earth creationism literally does not exist in professional geological science today and has not existed in professional geological science for something like 200 years. All of us - including you - know that YECs believe what they believe on the basis of religious doctrine.

Jerry writes: "So, the answer is 'NO,' this person is not a professional scientist because he did not get this knowledge from science, but religion." The answer (which Jerry has already been given) is that some professional scientists in various fields (such as cancer research) hold beliefs on other subjects that are based on religion, not science. Religious beliefs are religion, not science. Jerry, like so many other YECs, works very diligently to obfuscate and ignore this.

I have no problem with Greento saying most creationist are ignorant. Ignorance is a lack of knowledge. If you claim evolution is not science shows an ignorance of science. Incompetent means not qualified. i would dare say that anyone who says creation is not science is not qualified in the scientific method. Liar. if one is competant, and has the knowledge, then to make such a statement is simply lying.

Hey Dude, Take this as ad hominem or advice, I don't care which. Clean you freekin' room, man! You obviously don't care about, or aren't aware of, the impression you've posted for the entire You Tube viewership to see. When you've neglected your visual presentation to such a degree how do I know that your argument isn't in an equal shambles?

Hey Dude, Take this as ad hominem or adive, I don't care which. How I keep my room is my buisness. It happens to be a spare room in which I have my computer and many of my books, a bed (which is where my wife puts the laundry to fold before she puts it away). If you don't like looking at my laundry, my only advice to you is "Don't Look."

Jerry you stated about me: "It never occured to [Todd] that someone might look at the same data that he looks at and come to a different conclusion and still be just as knowledgable as he is." As usual, you misrepresent the matter. What you and other YECs have *already* admitted that you deliberately ignored the facts.

Jerry asks, "When [Todd]... believed in the young earth creationist position, was he either lying, or was he incompetent?" Hmmm... You left out "ignorant." I was ignorant.

But when I started examining the actual science itself I realized the deceitful nature of YEC rhetoric.

My dad was just as ignorant about the relevant science, having been misled by the same YEC pseudoscience charlatans.
