The wonder of science vs. the banality of creation

I can't argue YEC points because I'm not a YEC. The Week of Creation may have taken place some 10,000 years ago. But it didn't start out with an earth, effectively at age 0. Nor was anything else created at age 0. So I think it's pointless for YEC's to argue proof for an age 0 if it wasn't at that age when created. What would a rock look like at age 0?. What would plants and animals look like at age 0? What would earth's land masses look like at age 0?But if it helps them feel good about life, let them play. Just like Evos. Everybody feels they have to know where they came from.Some can accept it, and some need to prove it.
(There is nothing wrong with NOT being a scientist, by the way.)Look at the amount of money spent on SETI. JUST to prove that there is more life than what the scriptures reveal. Scientifically speaking, the task is over, but the project refuses to die.Edited by -Sky-, : No reason given.

How insightful. All that scientific curiosity and wonder gone in a flash.

Not an authoritative source by any means, but well said... Should religion restrict rational thought or scientific inquiry from pursuing its own conclusionEdited by Admin, : Shorten long link.

Yet that's exactly what they were, Intelligent Design proponents of various flavors.

That would be a list of every founding member of modern science and that their religious beliefs being the mental foundation of their research.Your counter would be anything they had written in criticism of their "religion". Galileo would have been one example you could use if he was actually changing his own belief system. But I don't think he bought into the Churches stand in the first place. I certainly don't believe the teachings from my own home church.

There is no "direct contradiction" today, so there was none back then either. His conflict was with the church LEADERS who rarely cracked open a Bible themselves. Still a common problem in many denominations.

Other than church sermons, what have they produced?(Commonalities in the use, materials, design, color, shape and instruction booklets of the three objects on the left clearly indicate their common primordial origin.)Edited by -Sky-, : Childish observations.Edited by -Sky-, : No reason given.
