   LW Says:”There is no scientific evidence that suggests or proves that a genetic mutation has ever produce a more viable or desirable result.”

   Except for those pesky bacteria that keep getting resistant to our antibiotics.

   LW:”The earth is not nearly as old as evolutionists would like you to believe it is. While I cannot say exactly how old the earth is, I can tell you that it is no where near 100,000,000 years old much less 500,000,000 years old.”

   Not only is LW a biologist, he’s also a geologist.

   It’s a good thing that you don’t listen to those geologist that tell you that the Earth is 100,000,000 years old. They would be wrong. It’s more like 4,500,000,000.

   You say that you are sure that the Earth is no more than 500,000,000 years old. How are you sure of this? What is your method of testing this?

   LW:”There is only one author of the entire Bible and that author is God. He may have used the minds and hands of various men to put the words to parchment but God is still the author of the whole context of Scripture Old and New testaments. Therefore, if one part of it is true all parts of it must be true.”

   I don’t really like getting into bible discussions but, the Bible says that in order to get speckled calves, you need to put striped poles in front of your cattle or, if you want to cure leprosy, you need a priest to sprinkle bird blood over you. Are these true statements?

   LW:”However, you should note that neither has anyone else provided and evidence of Evolution, only tired theories.”

   I did it up with my claim that the theory of evolution is used to engineer vaccines. Does ID have anything similar?

   LW:”Whether you believe me or not I am still a biologist, ”

   Just one who doesn’t understand how scientific theories work.

   LW:”So porky do you have anything for us other than evolution is right? How about some hard evidence?”

   I’ve already given you one. If you want another, Endogenous retrovirus.

   Can ID explain how these came to be? I know that evolution can.

   Finally, I’d like to apologize to everyone here for this interruption in your forum. You can thank Dutchboy and LW and me for that. This will be my last post on the subject. If DB, LW or anyon else would like to carry on the conversation, we can take it over to the site below.

   One thing I noticed is that when asked, LW never listed a example of evidence for Intelligent Design. Neither did he give a practical example of how ID is used or any ID peer-review papers. He just went into evolution attack mode claiming that adaptation is not evolution. He claims that he’s a biologist but then makes the standard mistake of equating scientific theory to that of a educated guess. This is not a mistake that a proper biologist would make.

   So Leonard, do you have anything for us other than “Evolution is wrong”?

   Leonard Watson says:”In the end there is as more scientific evidence for Intelligent Design, or even pure creationism, than there is for evolution.”

   Name one that isn’t just a negative attack on evolution or a “Evolution can’t explain x”.

   The Theory of evolution is used to by biologists to determine what flu vaccines to use from one year to the next. What practical applications use Intelligent Design?

   Name a peer-reviewed article that has been published in favor of Intelligent Design.
