Quora : What is the best evidence that atheists can use against creationists?

So far, there are three answers. I will cite only the last and ultrabrief one integrally, since this is not Assorted Retorts where I take risks on copyright issues.

Pierre Vigoureux:

Not atheists.

Not even “scientists”.

The best “evidence” against “creationists” is that they are a religious belief, not a scientific belief.

Let them prove their claim instead of worrying about disproving a nothing burger. When I turn on the news and scientists announce the Theory of Creationism then we can revisit this.


William Perkins

The fact there is zero good evidence for there mythical deity when one would expect to find plenty.


Takeaways.

  • 1) The positive religion of atheists is not "one negative answer to one single question" as some like to define atheism, the positive religion of atheists is Science. And a near candid admission that "scientists" is not quite relevant to pitting "scientific belief" up above "religious belief" - like some Evangelicals, they like denying that their religion is a religion.
  • 2) Atheists believe the news outlets are neutral and willing to allow scientists to announce the Theory of Creationism on their TV and radio stations and newspapers - this means that they miss that Morris already wrote The Genesis Flood and Dawkins admitted that Edgar Andrews had written From Nothing to Nature well.
  • 3) Not only can one expect to find plenty of evidence for the God we believe in, one does - but one cannot expect Atheists, sorry, Science Believers, to know that.


I haven't seen any make a public reference to CMI or AiG or myself or Kent Hovind or Kolbe Center ...

  • 1) proving language could not have evolved any more than reason or morality;
  • 2) dismissing non-carbon radiometric dating (RATE project)
  • 3) reinterpreting carbon dating with a creationist calibration (myself)
  • 4) showing "the geologic column" exists in text books, when it comes to land biota (myself and Kent Hovind)


But, if nothing had leaked out, why would the answers be so lacking in specifics and so eager to shut down all and any debate?

A few years ago, I think appeals to anatomic and emotional-social similarities with apes or Lucy or millions and billions of years would have been more popular.

Today it's more like "for Science' sake, don't debate those guys!!!!"

Calaminae natalis beati Thomae Apostoli, qui Parthis, Medis, Persis et Hyrcanis Evangelium praedicavit; ac demum in Indiam pervenit, ibique, cum eos populos in Christiana religione instituisset, Regis jussu lanceis transfixus occubuit. Ipsius reliquiae primo ad urbem Edessam, in Mesopotamia, deinde Ortonam, apud Frentanos, translatae sunt.
