Talk:Essay:Motivations for the Theory of Evolution

One question of clarification. Does the "materialistic theory of evolution" specifically refer to atheistic evolution, or does it include theistic evolution? MountainDew 20:00, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

Materialist evolution is without divine intervention. Materialistic evolution is what is taught in schools.--Aschlafly 20:02, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

P.S. Most Americans also reject theistic evolution, by the way.--Aschlafly 20:05, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

Poor most Americans. But I think you're wrong; a plurality of Americans reject YEC. A majority accept some kind of evolution.-AmesG_yo! 20:09, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

The more unsourced the better! Mmmm, mmm good!-AmesG_yo! 20:00, 9 April 2007 (EDT)1

Sources will follow. Rome wasn't built in a day.--Aschlafly 20:02, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

Neither was the Earth built in six.-AmesG_yo! 20:03, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

Ha ha ha. We were talking about human achievements. Surely that was within God's power to do so if He liked. Or do you think God is incapable of that?--Aschlafly 20:05, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

I don't delude myself into thinking God created the Earth :-/ . Certainly it's in his power to, but instead he set up the processes needed to lead to such events.-AmesG_yo! 20:09, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

See, a nice, almost polite, Theist/Deist discussion.--PalMD^talk 20:10, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

Although, I do have to admit the article seems a bit paranoid and lacking in logic. IMHO, though, not meant as offensive. Some of my own rants have been similar.--PalMD^talk 20:11, 9 April 2007 (EDT)
