    Well, true, and considering Hume's attack on religion, creationists would be reluctant to use his arguments anyway.

    But they can look other places; Bishop Berkeley would be a perfect fit.

    The bugger with the British empiricists is opting for one of the earlier versions points you on the way to Hume. Perhaps, a better option would be Bergson's philosophical critique of evolution. It doesn't require an idealistic appeal or a rabid skepticism.

    I've been lurking in this forum for like 2 years, and I still don't know if Navaros is talking seriously, or just trolling for the fun of it.
