Should intellectually honest fundamentalists live like the Amish?

To start a bit on-topic, I would say that I agree with the subjectThat should make clear that I'm on the side of "Evolution". But (unless I'm missing something, which someone will be able to point out) I have to agree that Faith does seem to have a point in the geological column - drilling oil issue. As long as the column is consistent, one does not need to subscribe a certain theory about how it all came about, in order to "use" it.One can perfectly do accurate calculations without really understanding a background, as long as the steps that have to be taken are always the same and consistent? I suppose the column can simply be (under-)used as a consistent scale, without units?(That said, I don't know ANY details about the specifics of how to find oil based on geological layers)

almost right I wouldn't use the word "understand", but rather "admits possibly not knowing enough about" ;-)

Well, with the added information I'm in the process of turning around in that particular subject. (sorry to disappoint you ;-) )I'm a "he", btw...May I add that I indeed agree with the subject of the thread, but as is written and not like you word it. I'm not in favour for banning them from using technology. I agree more with it in the sense that they are just terribly inconsistent to rely on the technological fruits of scientific theories, while denying other consequences of these theories.

Faith,would it be fair to state that you acknowledge the dots but refuse to connect them? What's left to wonder about is whether your refusal results from some deeper insight, or instead maybe certain preconceptions?
