Cyprian > Our knowledge of right and wrong, good and evil, justice and injustice, was implanted in us by our Creator.

Sure, so where's this Creator of yours? I'll tell you where he/she/it is. In your imagination. There is no Creator. The idea of a Creator is simply a myth and superstition used to control and manipulate the unknowing and the unsuspecting. The Creator was invented 4000 years ago and the business around him/her/it is still going strong. In fact, it's the best business in town.

> In other words order arose from disorder by time and chance.

I agree, that is ridiculous and I am aware of no acceptable explanation for it.

> Obviously the pyramid had to have a designer.

Obvious, when you know the answer, or think you do. Even to this day there is doubt how the stones were moved and by whom? And if we do finally learn the answer it will not come from any religious text or act of faith but through science.

> And you are going to say that it just happened by chance?

I didn't say that. I said I didn't understand how it happened?

> And to think the evolutionists dare to call Christians illogical!

Not illogical, naive. It's easy to accept a given explanation when one doesn't understand something. And the explanation about Creation is the obvious one. Sure, there must have been a Creator, what else? End of story. It requires no intelligence to accept that. 4000 years ago they knew about a Creator. They knew nothing else but they knew Creator. That's why I like to talk to you, it's like talking to a person who has the mind of someone who lived 2000 years ago.

Cyprian, after our little tit-for-tat I'm sure you'll find this creation/evolution debate in Scientific American amusing.

sciam.com

Clearly, it's written from the evolutionists' point of view but I have to say, as I said before, that many of the arguments are exceedingly weak and, as you said, unscientific especially when it comes to what "drives" or moves evolution forward. Perhaps they should change the name of their magazine to Unscientifc American?!
