Proof of Creational Science

And a note to the OP, your title alone tells us that your thread is going to be nothing but pseudoscience. Do you know how and why it tells us that? It is related to my previous post.

Incorrect. It is an idea that is well supported by evidence. And yet creationists cannot seem to find any scientific evidence at all for their beliefs. Why is there such an utter failure of creationists?
So, you say there is evidence that a flea and an elephant have common ancestors?

Yes. Though it would look nothing like either one. That would go so far back in our history that it might look more like a sponge than anything else.

By the way, there is no question that there is evidence that supports this. I have not seen one person that disagreed with this that did not understand the concept of evidence.. I am pretty sure that you do not understand the concept of evidence. But here is a chance to show that I am wrong. In your own words please explain the concept of scientific evidence.

For you to believe, for me to know

No, we can test this. You can demonstrate that you understand the concepts. Why did you dodge my reasonable request? That indicates that my beliefs about you are correct.. You probably do not understand the concept of evidence.

But I will give you another chance. Please give us an observation that would qualify as scientific evidence for creationism and why it is evidence for creationism.

What else would you expect besides reality? Have you been listening to creationist strawman arguments?
The universe is huge
My mind is huge too
But not that huge to understand the universe
Hence I do not try to understand it by the mind

Not a smart deduction for someone claiming to be scientific

Too much "beliefs", too little evidence, and no knowledge

Why did you dodge my reasonable request?
I feel no need to answer this type of questioning

No, you provided the evidence. You made claims and then ran away from them. Here is a suggestion, just support your claims. Or we could discuss the nature of evidence, and specifically scientific evidence.

I feel no need to answer this type of questioning

Really? Why not. Granted it is a tad aggressive, but that is because you made a claim and then ran away from it. That does not reflect well on you. When one makes a claim one should be able to support it.

Why don't we simply go over the concept of evidence and why it supports evolution. I have yet to see any sort of creationism supported by evidence, but I am open to that.

Glad you noticed that

but that is because you made a claim and then ran away from it.
I explained this before, but obviously not clear enough, so I do it again. I hope it's more clear now

Just check my signature ... all my posts are "IMHO" as per my signature, so I never make a claim, whatever I write on RF is my opinion
Signature is an official part of RF, and I use it for this purpose, because I think I should never claim something about "God" or others. You might have missed my signature, if you use a smartphone, but it still is there, since many years.

I do know the importance of the small print in official documents, if you want to claim something. We must read everything, also the small print. In my case it is not even "small print" I even put it in colors, so that people don't miss out that it's all just my opinion = No Claim

That does not reflect well on you.

When one makes a claim one should be able to support it.
does not apply to me, see above

I agree of course...if one can not support a claim, that means one does not know
Still there is no rule on RF that imposes on us "you MUST provide evidence or proof when making a claim"

Because I feel no need to do so,

But thank you for asking so friendly. Nothing to you with you or evolution. I just don't like debating. Also I already believe in evolution, and I already got the best evidence I need that supports evolution, so why should we go over that?

I have yet to see any sort of creationism supported by evidence, but I am open to that
IF you find any evidence or proof of creationism THEN let me know please

Now it looks as if you are claiming that you were just trolling in your earlier posts. Did you have a purpose in your comments?

Why do we not respect the mind of scientists?

But how clever is it to assume that there is a common relative (i.e., ancestor) between the flea (or a virus) and an elephant?

Not clever. Just a belief some people entertain

Now it looks as if you are claiming that you were just trolling in your earlier posts.

Did you have a purpose in your comments?
I was not trolling

My original post to which you replied was short:
I just answered one question from the OP

"how clever is it to assume that there is a common relative (i.e., ancestor) between the flea (or a virus) and an elephant?"
I do not call this clever at all "to assume" something. To assume means "not 100% proof", hence I called it "a belief"

If the question would have been:
"how clever is it to really know that there is a common relative (i.e., ancestor) between the flea (or a virus) and an elephant?"
Then I would have replied differently. If they "know" and can prove it then I don't call it a belief. And if someone can prove this all by themselves, I call that clever

The problem is that creationists often make the false accusation that scientists are assuming. By the way, there is no "100% proof" for anything outside of mathematics so it is a rather poor term to use. It is an unreasonable standard since people never follow it in their personal lives. Your language made it look as if you were supporting the false claims of creationists.
