Cal: Exactly right, Bob. And many of them have advanced degrees from the same universities from which the evolutionary scientists have graduated. And what about some of the greatest names in science - men like Isaac Newton, Louis Pasteur, Johannes Kepler and Galileo? Charles Darwin was a devout Christian as a young man, but his religious views - like his scientific ones - "evolved" as he got older. By the time he wrote The Origin of Species, he was as good a practical secularist as any non-believer. Was the later Darwin smarter than the combined wisdom of those scientists who believed the universe did not come into existence by chance but had a creator behind it? Readers can Google "scientists and intelligent design" for the names of many more scientists who believed someone was behind what we see in the sky with our eyes and beyond through a telescopic eye.
Bob: Good, now you're talking science, not theology.
I couldn't help but read this again...I think it might be a parody, as holmes indicated.
How can what Cal said be considered "science" in any way shape or form? Since when is "science" considered to be the teleological views of 17th century physicists? Or since when is "science" any view held by those practicing science? Cal just spewed a great big "argument from authority" and Bob says, "Now you're talking science."
Most of what they say truely doesn't make any sense; i just don't understand.
