The lack of empirical evidence for the theory of evolution, according to Faith.

Hi, Faith, you seem to have based your time here on a 'Them vs Us' rationale. I don`t think you realise many here come from a Christian background, who, after years of study, assessing and soul-searching, have moved to their present stance. While the journey may have been in vain from a certain viewpoint, most regard it as as a triumph of rationality over irrationality. Many of the arguments you present have been part of the journey so it`s merely rehashing old long-settled points. Now, you can make that trip yourself with the help of short-cuts from those who went before, or you can find your own way. But don`t waste the mind you have defending the indefensible, at least to those who have made the transition.

If you believe this then (IMHO), you have missed the point entirely. I regard EvC as a crucible where we put the torch to whatever ideas/beliefs/concepts we can come up with. Too rarely are these challenged in life and people suffer because of them. I lurked in admiration for over twelve months before I posted because there was so much high-class information to be absorbed.Even now, the range of talent and quality insights are hard to find elsewhere. The very fact that people have patiently shared their knowledge with you in spite of a stream of denigration should give you an idea of the calibre of the posters. Put your anger away and join in a spirit of adventure. Who knows, you may even learn a thing or two.

Then avoid using abuse to cover your lack of knowledge and you won`t be 'patronised'. So far you have rubbished science, evolution, geology, 'evidence', and now fellow Christians don`t measure up. Who`s left?

Oops, I left bible scholars off the list.
