A good question would be- to what degree are the different positions (what Wile calls "flavors") held by young and old-earth creationists determined by evidence, or rather by preexisting beliefs?

Congratulations Dr.jay from evolutionist to creationist

[@Rayrard]

The creationist keeps saying vestigial = useless. This is completely wrong. Vestigial means the structure has vestiges of a former usage, but they certainly can still have a function! The whale pelvic has a usage but it isn't walking.

[@riverbank2193]

Dr Wile seems to think there are no vestigial organs in human beings. All these organs have a purpose. Animals have a way of keeping warm by raising their fur or their feathers to create insulation. Humans have this feature as well, it's called goosebumps. This serves no purpose in humans. It can be explained as a leftover remnant from when we were furry or hairier creatures. But as an independently designed creature, there's no reason for that to be introduced into the design. It can be explained as of vestigial organ. It can't be reasonably explained as a design feature.

Adorable how these creationists are reduced to arguing on TH-cam while the real frontiers of science have moved far past them.

If there was any scientific evidence that there was a better explanation/theory then that new theory would be the the most likely or prevailing theory/explanation. And that scientist would get a Nobel Prize

Great debate, watched all of it

[@shawnhunter4477]

Does anybody have side by side of actual fossil pictures to prove evolution and not drawings?

[@jameywc2]

Too bad he didn't say the watch also evolved and was not complex at first.

[@vinniechan]

The create model prediction is simply restating what evolution stated would have happened, then asserted it was the work of a creator

Debate ?

[@jackthebassman1]

In the advanced world it's 2019, what year is it in much of America?

[@MichaelSelhost]

This was awesome! Two knowledgeable guys talking about and contrasting their world views, with NO BICKERING.

[@jonerickson2358]

This is like a debate between one person's use of nuclear physics and another person's use of crayons!!

[@MrROKinROK]

The "predictions" of the creation model? That's quite a generous definition of the word "prediction." And let's not get into the usage of the term "model."
