@@Shoomer88 exactly. Just like the claim that everybody has some inherent responsibility or obligation to everyone else's welfare. Theists need to providw evidence that can demonstrate that claim is true, otherwise it's just more unsubstantiated and unscientific faithbased religious nonsense that they need to keep to themselves. There's nothing more natural in nature than competition for survival.
Just like the flat earth conspiracy theory, creationism conspiracy has no model. "God did it" has no explanatory power, it's an attempt to solve a mystery by appealing to a bigger mystery. We solve the unknown in terms of the known, not by question begging a bigger unknown. "God created everything" is synonymous with "Poseidon controls the tides."
@Shoomer88 🤔with a sample size of only one single observable universe to work with, how could you possibly determine if everything was designed or not? ....or what the hallmarks of design would even be to look for? As a rational and objective skeptic I'm obligated to simply follow the evidence where it leads. The phone in your hand is demonstrable evidence that agency and design is indeed at least a possibility. And as soon as we ever discover any evidence that can demonstrate an alternative possibility to agency and design is also a possibility, then whatever that alternative could be would also become a candidate explanation as well, but not before. "The time to believe in something is when it can be empiricaly demonstrated to be true and not before." Matt Dilahunty As a rational and objective skeptic I simply remain unconvinced in the claim that an alternative to agency and design is even a possibility until it can be empiricaly demonstrated to be. 🤷
This channel is about defending one's faith. Accurate models require no defense. They emerge through issuing challenge after challenge after challenge to the field of all possiblities and seeing what remains. Faith is simply the unwillingness to put a belief through this process. Which really doesn't indicate all that much confidence in the belief.
Those aren't models. They're evidence-free claims.

🤣 Oh brother... how in this day and age is evolution still up for debate?
It's not. Evolution has been proven beyond all doubt, so those who do doubt it are broken brained mentally malfunctioning morons.
Ignorance. Be it wilful or because of a lack of education.
Exactly.
Evolution has proven itself to be a brilliant and successful design for the proliferation and propagation of life.
@ Not a design.

There are 0 creation models. A scientific model makes predictions about reality, while the creationism myth tells you nothing.
