    Why you created this? Evolutionism has already won.

    2) for it not to be made in another thread
    3) Because according to my texans friends, it hasn't. Yet.

    I remember a similar topic on the other, "old" forum over at the Hall of Fame: "Darwinism", for the interested reader. You might recognize a number of familiar faces
    ADOM Guides - whatever you wanted to know about playing a certain class, but have been afraid to ask!

    Check out my youtube channel to see my ADOM videos, including a completed playthrough of the game. I try to give instructions, so if you want to see some place you haven't been before and get some hints on how to deal with it, this might help! There's also some other games featured there that you might find interesting.

    You won't recognize mine, though I was around then.
    Even I has sense sometimes.

    I finally made my first post in the other headbashing thread- I mean argument thre- no wait, discussion thread... I have a pair of rules on how internet debates should be handled.

    1. I am always right.

    2. Nothing I say will ever change my opponent's beliefs so just have fun.

    This usually ends up with me making jabs at flaws in logic or contradicting statements made by the same person. Or as I like to call it, making the other guy look dumb. As long as I have no expectations of the other person realising how right I am, I just revel in the pleasure their infantile attempts to revoke my insults as I dominate them with my internet prowess.

    So on that note, the Bible is right. Fairy tales created by the modern zeitgeist regarding the origins of the universe are fanciful explanations attempting to give an answer to what they do not know in a vain attempt to justify their denial of God.
    I said it before, and I'll say it again. If I knew scripture like you, I'd prolly be an athiest too.. -gut

    This thread wasn't created, it evolved.

    Either way, I no longer believe in Dudley and openly
    mock those who do, especially Dudley.

    Evolution vs creation (evolutionism is not a word AFAIK) is not really a sensible debate, because phrasing it this way is logically fallicious. It is a false dichotomy: evolution and creation are two possible explanations for the diversity of life, but they are not the only ones. Thus, evidence against evolution is not evidence for creation; neither is evidence against creation evidence for evolution. It is entirely possible that evolution could be false, but that there could be another, perfectly reasonable naturalistic explanation that does not invoke special creation. One cannot assume that if one side is wrong, the other is right be default. Both could be wrong.

    This is rather a problem for the creationist side of things, since it is extraordinarily difficult to build a positive case for special creation.

    > it is extraordinarily difficult to build a positive case for special creation.

    To me it seems easy, but only on a general level. Things always seem to
    get quite derailed on the details level. I'm a common sense type human,
    and the 'order doesn't come from chaos' argument is an excedingly good
    one to my mind. To me, it just seems infinitely more likely that order
    comes from order.

    The theory of 'first there was nothing, then it exploded, the bits bumped
    together long enough, so that's how humans came to be' just doesn't
    smack of common sense. I think the thing that keeps me from being a
    fanatic for either side is my comfort level in just saying 'I don't know.'
