Re: Where is the other interpretation of these?
quote:
If and when YECs come up with some real indiation that they can explain some significant portion of the evidence better than maninstream science and that explanation doesn't boil down to "Goddidit", they might get some atention from real scientiists.
A deeper look brings to mind the question of whether or not the scientific method is biased or produces bias. I certainly don't think so, but I think this is where Ham is going. Should we trust logic, positive evidence, objective evidence? According to Ham we should not. Instead, we should rely on subjective emotions, religious experience, and faith in the divinity of the Bible and God.
These are two different methods of reaching a conclusion. I will personally use the method that has produced the most results, makes accurate predictions about future finds, and explains the most data. And I think we all know what that method is. Does that make me biased? Of course, biased towards the method that works.
