Blasphemy in Science

Although your post is very very clear and concise, I highly doubt that it could break through the barriers that the creationist has built up around himself to defend against facts. Many of us have pointed out exactly what you said above many many many many times before, and yet we continue to see creationists making outrageous claims such as science is a religion and other nonsense.For some reason, which I haven't been able to concieve yet, the creationist always has trouble understanding that science is driven by evidence not faith. Perhaps scientists sometimes already have preconcieved notions of what they should expect before having observed any phenomenon. However, when it comes to scientific theories, the data, experimental results and interpretations have already been scrutinized enough that any preconcieved notion regarding the theory is negligible. The evidence speaks for itself!

Actually, I remember someone somewhere on these boards criticizing science because of the event that Hawking admitted his theory was wrong. I can't remember who this person was, but he claimed that science can't be trusted because it changes all the time. Since Hawking is one of the leading theoretical physicists of our time and he admitted to being wrong on something, the person concluded that science is a bad way of approaching truth. I believe he also claimed that because christian dogma is consistent for all times, it must therefore be regarded as somehow higher than science.I think it was also whatever that asked the question somewhere along the line of "what's the point of pursuing science if it changes from day to day?"Personally, I found this amusing. Don't know why I didn't respond to him.By the way, welcome!

Hello!?! My rights are being violated by the same people that claim the bible teaches love and tolerance. Being an "infidel," I plan to poke the bible to death.Oh yeah, did I mention the fact that I plan to sit on christianity using my infidel arse?

Probably?

This is the kind of strawman about evolution that bothers the heck out of me. Besides the fact that almeyda is criticizing evolution as some kind of "magic wand" and turns around and expects us to believe in another magic wand, evolution ain't only about chance and time alone.Hey admins, can't we do something about this?
