Creation, Evolution, and faith

Yeah, right. I mean, you're actually giving the impression here that scientists actually *think* about their observations, and that they may question their own assumptions. Everyone knows that they do neither and only creationists have the intelligence to point this out to them.

Every time you think this, bear this in mind: for every untested assumption in science, there are about 10,000 graduates desperate to prove themselves to their peers and superiors by tearing apart those assumptions and demonstrating them incorrect. Every graduate in science is desperately looking for something new on which to write his next paper. Guess how many untested assumptions are left lying around, unchallenged?Science is built, not upon assumptions, but upon the tearing down of assumptions.

I'm not sure how many of these I can put my finger on: "is a known part of objective reality as apart from something that may or may not be a part of objective reality"Or perhaps you know something I don't...

In which case, I am far more convinced of the "objective" reality of mathematics than any "physical" aspect of existence that one would normally regard as objectively "real" Sorry, really busy at the mo, so will join in with this properly later.
