Re: Playing poke-a-Goliath
I turned to evolution theory but what do I see -- a theory of impossibility. I am now convinced evolution theory will never deliver the goods and evolution in fact never even happened !!
Spoken like a true religious apologist.
Does it ever give you pause that 99.9% of evolutionary scientists accept the evidence for evolution, and the few who don't are defending an a priori religious belief?
The only way you can conclude that evolution is "a theory of impossibility" and "never even happened"--is to have an overriding fundamentalist belief that prohibits you from seeing and accepting the evidence.
Otherwise, scientists all over the world, from all different backgrounds and cultures, come up with the same answers--evolution is an accurate description of the evidence. Only religious apologists come up with different answers.
Hmmmmm. Quite a bit of correlation there, eh?
(And note tagline.)

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Do you know that there is no logical reason why 100% of the population cannot be all wrong at the same time?
And yes, it is definitely possible that all 99.9% of evolutionary scientists are wrong about many things.
I have much more faith in physicists, mathematicians than biologists.
You completely dodged my point. And by doing that you confirmed what I stated.
You don't care that 99.9% of evolutionary scientists accept the evidence for evolution because you have decided, a priori, based on religious belief, that they are wrong. Evidence will not sway you in your beliefs.
Fine. But don't try to wrap your religious beliefs in the trappings of science. Your religious beliefs are not scientific, and in fact are anti-science.
