Point of View
Hi,
I just wanted to reply to this message for a couple of reasons.
1. It sounds like you are not looking for an objective answer becuase your belief is already tainted that evolution and those who adhere to it are not confident in their findings. And if the confidence is not there, then truth is questioned. All it comes down to is personal peference, do we go with blind faith and accept something that can not be proven, or do we go with something that has many facts backing it up? Our personal perferences will dictate whether we can openly accept or even consider the other side of the debate. It seems to me that the mindframe you are working from is from a non-evolution paradigm and once that point of view is taken, then no matter what responses are responded to this message, objections will arise not out of scientific backing or logical reasoning but out of personal conviction.
2. Secondly there are times that 0 can = 1. It merely takes redefining the number system. Fascinating stuff mathematics. Perhaps the reason I am sharing this, is the hopes that you will redefine for yourself what you are looking for and considering in neither mindframe of evolution vs anythings else. I guess what I am saying to truly understand something, one has to be open-minded and not swayed to either position on a given topic. I understand that is hard becuase we seem to thrive on the polar opposites in everything we try to relate to.
3. With regards to the last sentence, I want to say simply this, are you confident in that last sentence and why? Do you have any findings to back up that last sentence in the orginal posting. What I am trying to say, if you wish to let scientists and evolutionist to present all the findings to represent their point of view to where you can be confident either way, then why do "Christains" get their dander up when we ask for the same courtesy of them? It seems to me, I would rather have some doubt with factual documentation pointing in a general direction then blind faith.
Good post by the way.
