Three Questions for the Evolutionist and Creationist

#1 Do you respect the other side?#2 Do you believe they make any good points?#3 Are there any weaknesses in your belief/model that you wish you had a better answer for?

YES
YES
YES - eg fossil order

1--yes
2--yes
3--how to prove something is "designed"

1 - Of course
2 - Yes
3 - Explaining the corroboration of dating methods

I know that I didn't respect the YEC'ers and I wasn't even an evolutionist -- so I was hoping to hear what they thought.Oh well, I thought it would be interesting David

1. It depends. The "They" in the question is too broad for a single response.However, Do I have respect for any group that attempts to stifle science with a narrow religious view - which has failed again and again to establish a scientific basis , and resorts to political leverage to pervert the science taught in public schools...NOPE. No respect for that or those who would perpetrate it.2. Again, it depends. Any challenge put to a theory can only serve Everyone's benefit. Either the theory will be falsified, or supported yet again.But when religious zealots ignore HOW their objections were ackowledged, addressed and demonstrated as falacious - and they continue to roll out long discredited obejections, then we find ourselves in an Anti-Intellectual endeavor to reclaim ground that has already been established. Can't we move on ? Must science continually re-invent the wheel because some square-sided individuals can't 'Roll with the Changes' ?3. Nothing that time and peer review won't weed out - if allowed to step past the attempts at politicizing science.------------------
"Freedom of Religion" equates to Freedom -FROM- those religions we find unbelievable.

"#1 Do you respect the other side?"
--I respect the individual who is worthy of it without bias or prejudice."#2 Do you believe they make any good points?"
--Of course."#3 Are there any weaknesses in your belief/model that you wish you had a better answer for?"
--Geophysics Modeling of stress & flexure strength behaviour of Oceanic Crusts in a catastrophic manor. Physics of Radioisotopic decay in heat transfer & according to the Earths isotopic Distribution. Modeling for Early Earth differentiation in Chemical fractionation of various elements in accordance to their locus of tending concentration & other properties to take into account. Accelerated decay (?). General Geologic depositional models & formation evolution. All of which I enjoy the continuing research required to find the answers to the questions. Not all listed are 'problems' but are topics I would like to further develop in my understanding of the mechanics.------------------
