hi Bluejay - I was asked for an opinion on worldviews. Yes, I do think evolution is a worldview but because it has always been accepted popularly, and scientists have not allowed any other explanation. Or atleast - they don't take it seriously.
This isn't enough to prove evolution existed, nor a great probability, logically.
To me, it is much more unlikely that the designs we see in nature made themselves up. No facts I have observed show me that I must infer macro-evolution. I am content to be mistaken, but personally, I have enough studying in logic to know that it isn't a big deal to not commit to evolution, it's just that in this present day system, the most popularly accepted theory is evolution.
I don't have time to debate further. If you read the thread I was posting in, particularly about defining evidence, you will see that there is absolutely no way out, when I say that there is evidence for creation. What should matter is that there is evidence for many false theories, so you can soundly conclude that evidence itself isn't that powerful to me. Afterall, induction is a mountain BECAUSE evidence is a weak consequent.
