Creationists (at least I do), tries to fit what they see with the Bible. And it does!
Yep. The sun rises and the sun sets: evidence for a flat earth, and it fits with the bible, so it must be true.
Evidence
for something is not sufficient reason to accept it as valid as long as there is evidence that INvalidates the concept involved: ignoring the rest of the evidence does not make the concept any less INvalid, it just makes the opinion more IGnorant.
Then they can make a scientific theory as long as it doesnt go against the Bible.
Why? Where is this stated in the scientific method? Where is this listed in the "rules" for evidence? What purpose does it serve?
The evidence that the earth is round is undeniable, real and based on science whether it fits with some
interpretation of a certain book or not. That is all that is necessary -- and what is required -- of science, that it provide the best explanation of the evidence, regardless of what that explanation is. The search is for the truth of reality, regardless of where that leads.
The minute you DISallow explanations that DISagree with some preconception, not matter WHAT that preconception is, you are DISengaged from science.
This is not a standard for science, it is a standard for ignorance, ultimately promoting the willfull denial of reality.
It appears to me that scientists (evolutionists) makes theories about how rusted piles of metal could appear in HIS field.
For example: A scientist (i forgot who) in the National Geographic mag about the Hobbit, said the first thing he thought when he saw the skeletal remains, was the evolution of humans. Why? Because evolution was stuck in his mind.
Scientists make theories and then they TEST them. They don't just assume that the theory is correct, the look for ways to validate it, and for things that could INvalidate it. Faith, by definition does NOT operate that way.
What was your first thought? That evolution was false? LOL. Your opinion of scientists, whether justified or not, is still just your opinion and not fact. It is also wrong.
Recognizing that the pile of metal is a pile of metal is not the answer to how the pile of metal got in the field. Recognizing that the bones are hominid bones did not take rocket science and does not answer the question to how that pile of bones got in that field.
The first thing he thought of was evolution, hominid evolution ... likely because they were different from other fossils, and evolution is change in species over time. "Stuck" in his mind was the explanatory power of the theory of evolution to show change in species over time, and how it was
challenged -- tested -- with each new discovery as unusual as this one ... instead of the reliance on ignorance and superstition.
If the first thing he had thought of was that elves must have been real THAT would have been something to comment on.
The predominant
scientific concensus on
Homo Floriensis is that we
don't know where and when they branched off of which line of hominid ancestor. That makes it an interesting question.
