Science changes every generation to cover up the FACT that it was wrong.
That's one way to look at it.
Another way to look at it is that science gets righter and righter every time it corrects itself.
Are you actually saying that you think that the science that our modern medical technology is based on is less reliable because it is constantly improving?

I do believe science falls in "my" definition of a religion. A group of ideas/beliefs which explain life.
You are entitled to use your own personal definitions of things, but not to have people accept them.
I think your definition of science is terribly inaccurate at best and self-serving at worst.
quote:
For those who don't understand how this does relate, Creationism is (supposedly) derived from the creator. Once you believe this to be true; you understand that creationism was here first(without that name of course) and has a totally different method (knowing the truth first and then trying to prove it).
But Creationism has never been right about anything relating to the natural world.
Any sort of test against the natural world we subject Creationism to shows it to be in error.
So, if what Creationists say is true about the natural world doesn't actually end up being true about the natural world, then it seems that Creationism is wrong, doesn't it?
Creationists stagnate. They unchangeingly continue to believe, despite the evidence right in front of them, they know the "truth", while science actually continues to get righter and righter.
Creationism contributes nothing to our understanding of the natural world, even though it claims to have "the truth". It has developed no technology, no medical understanding, no ability to predict any future occurance in nature whatsoever. It is ueselss.
The reason it is useless is because it is wrong.

LOL!
Already you are bringing superstition into what is supposed to be a scientific discussion.

Unfortunately the bible says you have to believe in him to see it.
...which is another symptom of myth.

If you really want to find out donate 1 year of your life to truly seek him. I bet you would find out. I don't mean going to church either. I mean reading his word and praying to him. It won't hurt. No one would know (until you get blessed and tell everybody you meet like I do). Nothing to lose. you'll be living for a year right.
Dearheart, I had 18 years of religious instruction. I was a believer.
I live more right now than I ever did then.
Do you really think that your avoidance of my point is going to impress me so much that I will do what you suggest? How do you know I haven't done what you suggest, or more?
(As an aside, can you explain how choosing the username "bytchbeater" fits into "living right"?)
Creation "science" is an attempt by religious people to dress up their superstition in a lab coat and shove a beaker in it's hand, hoping that nobody will notice that it's only pretending to have anything at all to do with science other than outward appearances.
Edited by nator, : No reason given.
