Don’t believe in evolution before you understand it! It might seem wise to have faith in the plethora of scientists, which concur on a subject. But you must exercise your critical judgement in all aspects of scientific inquiry.

My point is that the terms, faith and belief, are not really appropriate in science. Unless your studying psychology, LOL. Creationists argue that evolution is a theology. Its not. To be fair, I think and empirical observation can only impart truth within the paradigm of inquiry. Some will disagree with me, but I see this as a major hurdle in scientific reasoning.

Owww, look I don’t think your and idiot! Nothing in your posts would lean me to that conclusion. I wasn’t trying to be hostile, people here are generally very tolerant and considerate but they want a debate! I wouldn’t be here if I thought I knew it all!
My personal views on creation are that YEC is both anti god (not their god obviously, but a Christian god) and anti science. Though I am an atheist.
What creationists lack in logic they makeup in faith. You can’t change someone’s mind who has faith, what logic you tell them is a lie and always will be. I am not here to pull people away from YEC, but rather to learn how people can hold a point of view, which is so difficult to sustain.
