I have a very simple challenge to creationists.    

I challenge creationists to show me ONE god ever documented in the history of science that has created a new, beneficial, selectable morphological addition to an existing body part.    .    .    .    (a god that alters physical, outward appearance in a beneficial way. ) For example, the eye was said to have evolved by way of numerous gods, each god adding on to what previous gods (plus selection) had added before.  

Please keep in mind that there are gods that duplicate existing structures, gods that reduce existing structures, gods that deform organisms, and gods that cause disease and death.    .    .    .    Unfortunately for Creationists, however, gods can add nothing beneficial to the observable phenotype, which is the cornerstone of “goddidit”.    

This is my claim. . this is my challenge. . . and this challenge has not yet been answered by anyone.    

Knowing this, it is my opinion that the theory “goddidit” is little more than a wacky metaphysical belief, much like astrology or palm reading.    

The floor is open!

As you can plainly tell by googling my name and the name of several of my friends (Crandaddy, Tribune, AFDave, etc), I often my name search for details to how good the perception of me is by evilutionarys, so the evidence is plain out there for you to find.

It is a waste of any time that i have to discuss things that in other venues UD have been trounced by creation science.

Try again oldDude!

ps, I think you mean "Creationists" in your opening line.

I see you fixed that one line.  Everyone can get lukky once in a while.  I meant obviously that you need to do the replace of the word in the second sentence.

I so smart!

If Slimey Sal wasn't 100% right now trying to get some more book-learnn' crammed into him ( OUCH!), he would like soooo be all over your astrology challenge!  It's a Young Cosmos you know!

And if only Dr. Dr. Dembski could find his pants after ERV pantsed him last night, he would easily show you the Nixplanatory Filter where is says that ID predicted palm-reading would give you all the answers you ever need.

And if DaveScot wasn't using his palm for other things right now, he'd show you how they do it in the Marines.

HTH :)

Nicely written, J-Dog.  Can I recommend you to JoeG as a writing instructor if I am unavailable?

God created us to be adaptive....God does not do the adapting.  You've set up a strawman.
