Science may not share some of the answers we have for certain questions about existance and life, but that doesn't mean we don't believe any of it altogether, and to think so is entirely juvenile. It's this one sided view of the opposing side which makes having conversations on this topic all the more innane. What do you think our answer for gravity is? God did it?
I'm sorry, I hate to disappoint, but not all people with a religion are Amish.  |
You misunderstood my post, which makes sense because I was talking about applying scientific method (which you do not understand) to two people only. The result would be that the scientist lives a normal life, and the religious guy either starves to death or lives like a caveman.
People have been both making observations and doing/thinking things based on them, and making shit up so they can have power since we could think and speak. Which one has gotten us to where we are technologically today? The whole point is that religious people actually do not shun science, in fact many scientists in the past have been religious or even monks. The two things are not mutually exclusive.
It is totally fine for people to use the scientific method to make airplanes, medical procedures and spacecraft, but not to explain how life changes over time? If science is so flawed then you should get the hell away from your computer and live in a cave, because it is going to go badly wrong just like evolution apparently is.
Actually it is totally possible that some kind of intelligence has had a hand in evolution, wether it is some kind of biological process or god/aliens. What the problem is, is that we should only think that if we have evidence for it. At the moment the evidence is a 5000 year old book which by historical fluke is not regarded by most as the fairytale that it actually is.
What is scary are the people who want to stop scientific thought in favour of beliving what some guy said 5000 years ago to get people to obey him - and then teach it in schools...
If you are not convinced by evolution and the massive weight of evidence behind it, what you need to do is get qualified in biology, palentology or geology and knock down evolution by finding one peice of evidence that contradicts it. That's all you need, one thing and the theory will have to change.
Yay for late night posting, the guys who posted hard evidence where much more eloquent than me. Unfortunatly you mysteriously dissapeared from that section of the thread. Perhaps you where just waiting for someone easier to argue against?
