faith based science?

Hi Doc,
I can't say I'm thrilled with this post as a moderator or personally. As someone that has done some work in mental health awareness and de-stigmatization it makes me a little uncomfortable to see a dismissal of someone in this manner.Even though you have an undoubted skill with words, there's a general tone of disrespect here that I feel shouldn't go uncommented on. If this continues it may well be time for another suspension. I will of course, examine the evidence at the time - but I have a feeling it will be longer than traditional.Edited by AdminModulous, : No reason given.

All:

Please keep on topic. Please desist from insulting or otherwise disrespecting members. The warning that I gave in Message 25 now applies to everyone. Get this thread back to discussing elements of origins that one has to take on faith (though I'm happy with arguments along the lines of not taking anything on faith).Regardless of your personal feelings towards members, please please - be respectful in public.Dr A, please don't make any further posts like Message 43, Message 47, Message 48 and Message 50. They aren't contributing, and they are spammy.

This clearly is not on topic, even remotely. It merits a short suspension

This thread is where we discuss what matters of fact we have to take 'on faith'.It is specifically focussed on 'toers' and 'bangers'. So demanding evidence from 'the other side' is not on topic.What I'm hoping to see here is a little intellectual modesty. I don't understand quantum physics, so I have to rely on my faith in the skills of the physicist. That kind of thing.Those on the opposite side from 'toers and bangers'- are allowed to demand evidence and explanations, as it is their 'job' to try and show where faith enters into the decision to accept a certain belief.Edited by AdminModulous, : No reason given.
