But with regard to Darwin, i dont disrespect the man, i disrespect his theory. I can understand why he came up with the theory though and i dont think it was because of scientific discovery.
How can you disrespect the theory when you don't even understand the basics of that theory?
Peg, this is disengenuous, bigoted, prejudice and wrong in its highest form.
Darwin spent his ENTIRE life committing his life to scientific discovery. He spend hours upon hours studying life from microscopic to the macroscopic and even with his limited scientific tools of the day came up with one of the greatest scientific discoveries in human history. You can't even come close to the amount of research he did into this scientific field so who are you to judge?
I agree with Parasomnium. If you are going to cast stones at least read the man's work first.
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous. - Carl Sagan, The Fine Art of Baloney Detection
"You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep seated need to believe." - Carl Sagan
"It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." - Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World
