that, tom, is one of the most chilling things i've ever read.

Hypothetical questions are never useless. The whole point is so that we can explain how our perspective makes us deal with things. People who won't answer these are illustrative of their own closed-mindedness, not some weakness of hypothetical questions.

And you know how many "evos" said they'd change their minds? I believe it was every single one(or at least most), but if anyone wants to go dumpster diving they can find it.
Now class, what have we learned? |

Reps: 2,393 (power: 12) | | | No, science is agnostic to religion, or to God. Though certain religious beliefs can be disproven, none can be proven. Science doesn't reject, it just doesn't resort. Why is it so many people doni't grasp that? |

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | Hmmmm, the answer would be NO. My faith in God is not dependent on evolution, I may even be convinced it happend...still along way from that though. To me Science is proof of God, it shows us how complicated everything is and can only lead to a Supreme Creator. Glory Be To GOD |

This is the whole problem with the evolution vs. Creationist argument. Evolution as defined is in evidence, but evolution as predominently presented by evo's and Creationists alike broadens the meaning into something that is not necessarily "evolution".
I for one (Creationist) have no problem with the evolutionary processes that have been shown to be present and it in no way affects my knowledge of God. In fact it rather helps define the Creation process. | | |
