Re: questions
What is truth?
As people who understand science, we should understand that what we believe may not be entirely true, that it is subject to new information that may change it, leave it alone or completely refute it.
People here I believe are merely trying to dispute what does not make sense (at least in the science sections). Aka, all species existed at the same time prior to the flood.
But one must also understand that all debate centers around what the audience thinks.

Re: questions
Crazy?
Not many.
Their ideas without evidence?
Many. But that changes with evidence.

to most things in science this can apply. but some things are truths that cannot be refuted. for instance, you cannot deny that your typing on a keyboard.
Assuming you believe in Descartes's statement.

and I'm very glad they do, because unless something is debated, the "kinks" cant be worked out. it is sad to me that scientist have had to work within the funding of the government in this country and are so very limited to only studying accepted "proven" science, when so much of science was discovered by asking questions about what was not known.
Not necessarily. Debate may function to further obscure an issue. Just because you challenge something does not make the subject any clearer. The problem with science in the US is that politicians rest so much of their future on statements and projects that science may find to be false or completely unfeasible. Thus, it makes sense for science to be limited when the funding comes out of Congress.

only when a person changes the way they look at things, does what they look at change.
For the most part.

Re: questions
True. Plate tectonics was considered a evidence free idea. But it's dishonest to compare the age were religion dominated what we believed to be true and a time where empirical evidence, not dogma rules the (well most) of the land.
