(This is Rhodos, now jump!) Ancient Greek saying, going back to the story of an athelete who kept telling everybody how great he was, because he had jumped thus-and-thus far when on Rhodos. Finally, someone had enough of his boasting and told him: 'Well, let's say HERE is Rhodos, now jump!'
i.e.: Shut up, or money up!
as the first thread was spammed to death and also distracted by an interesting debate, let's have another go:
Creationists, prove your claims (or shut up)!
THREAD RULES:
Whenever elsewhere a creatinist makes an unsubstantiated claim that is challenged, but that would be off topic to debate in that thread, I invite them to do so here.
Claims will be numbered so that duplicates can easily be referred to. If you reply, please, as the post title, include the number of the claim to refer to.
Proof must include:
- a testable hypothesis that has predictive powers
- evidence in favor
- predictions proven correct from it, if possible
If the claim is not substanciated here and is reiterated elsewhere, I will use links to this thread to show that the person putting it forth is not willing to prove it.
CLAIMS:
1
Please show how animlas cannot choose.
Please show how humans can choose.
