Re: Re-Doubt
quote:
I do not see how anyone can believe in the Theory of of evolution.
1) As crash writes, people who accept the overwhelming evidence in favor of the ToE do just that. "Belief", like "belief" in gods, is not why people who understand a bit of Biology accept the ToE.
2) Do you really think that the hundreds of thousands of scientists who have been advancing our understanding Biology over the last 150 years at the most astonishing pace have all just been deluded? Since several of the main occupations of scientists are critically examining theory and trying to falsify hypotheses, are you also accusing all of those Biologists of being so poor at doing science that they have, to a person, missed the fact that the overarching, foundational theory that underpins all Biology is completely false?
Since this message is off topic, you should not reply here.
However, I am going to propose these questions as a topic in a new thread. I am very interested to learn what you think about Biologists and why they continue to support the ToE.

Re: Taking A Stand Without Empiricism or Logic
quote:
All I ask is that you acknowledge that I can believe anything I so choose without you having to frame the issue as to whether or not it is logical.
In other words, you want to hold to irrational and illogical beliefs but not have to confront the fact that they are irrational and illogical.

Re: Re-Doubts and Logic

Since Science cannot answer the 2 most important questions why should I trust Science over my faith in God.
Your superstitions can't answer those questions either.

Re: Lashing out???
quote:
I suppose that what I am saying is that the reason I cling to certain fundamentals is because I dont believe in human potential as a way to solve the worlds problems.
But Phat, you used to believe that god was going help you win the lottery. He never did, did he?
It's up to humans to fix it, or at least try to.
Waiting around for god to fix things is just a religious smokescreen for self-absorption and laziness.
