Mostly a bump
I think I've made my statements already, upstring. I will, however, quote the following, to justify the bump.
quote:
"...scientists must be open to evidence & new ideas."
True, but they must also recognize that the state of the art theory is pretty strong. Some things may be overturned, but mostly you will be working on adding detail to, and building on what came before.

Re: Mostly a bump
I agree with you that at this point in time scientists who study evolution are generally in agreement about the state of the art theory(evolution) is pretty strong while the details are still being worked out. Excellent point Moose.

Bump, with a replay of message 1
quote:
Seemingly, the fundamentalist creationist view is that the various sciences have a long history of conspirering to deny God and the works of God.
Do the creationist here truly believe that mainstream biology, geology, etc. beliefs are not a result of solid, valid work?
Are all these scientists guilty of putting together a vast, complicated story, to replace the obvious and simple story of God and God's creation?
Or is the story truly vast and complicated?
I think there was much good discussion between message 1 and here, and it's time for a bump.
I also think that I've said pretty much all I have to say in this topic, between message 1 and here.
