Re: Scientific laws

But you should also consider the fact that your knowledge in evolution is not your own. You also qoute them from the people who believe in evolution.
So I take it your 'knowledge' of Christianity and Biblical interpretation as being against science was something you were born with and was never ultimately influenced by the Seventh Day Adventist, Pentecost, or Southern Baptist Church?
Your knowledge of either Christianity or science, by the same standard, is not your own either.

The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.

It's OT but needs to be said.
It is a simple matter, they hate Darwin more than they love God.

On Cursing God's Creation Through Infallible Interpretation

Well, the reverse of his sentence is true to you and your co supporters. Actually we dont hate Darwin, we only criticized his idea that is the real reason that we do not employed ad hominem attack.
While this is definitely OT, it is not only difficult to let this go but also central to the entire debate.
Ultimately, there are two positions. One curses any attempt to learn about all God's creation outside of one arbitrarily chosen 'book' out of 30,000 variations which then is not only insisted upon being infallibly interpreted but also renders any discussion as heresy........and the other does not.
If you would like more elaboration on this subject, we can meet either one-on-one or some other battlefield of your choice.
