Re: Maybe should have been a PNT, sorry
Faith, please correct me if I'm wrong. From reading your other posts on this subject, it seems like you want:
1) For evolutionists to admit that your kind of evidence, the word of God, should be given equal weight.
2) That the word of God trumps all other kind of evidence, when there is a conflict.
If I accept those 2 premises, I basically then have to admit that Faith is always right.
Where's the debate in that? What's the point? For differing viewpoints to be weighted against each other, there has to be some standard of evidence that we both share. If it's you use yours and I use mine, all we are going to do is huff and puff at each other.
Most of us accept science because there's one undeniable fact about it: it works. We can show you, we can repeat it, we can point to technology as science's obvious triumph.
You want to argue that IF God said such-and-such, then such-and-such must be right. Sure, granted. But then we must be allowed to question the premise "IF God said such-and-such".
Show us he did.
