[QUOTE="flatworm, post: 47862752, member: 172063"] Hooray, another digression. How was creationism of use in any of these persons' scientific accomplishments? Another unfounded claim. How is evolution any more a religious philosophy than the Atomic Theory or Newtonian Mechanics? Unlike religion, the theory of evolution has changed to incorporate new evidence as it is discovered. Unlike religion, evolution provides evidence for its assertions and does not demand that it be accepted on faith. Unlike religion, evolution makes testable predictions that lead to applications in the real world. I understand you feel picked-on here. Tell me, did you form your opinions on evolution by researching the science and the evidence, by critically examining arguments from all sides, or have you mostly discussed it with people who share a common social background with you? I ask because I've seen this movie before. It's easy to grossly overestimate the strength of your arguments when you've kept them isolated from critical examination most of your life. Social reinforcement can make the most ridiculous claims feel like common sense. If you don't believe me, go ask the guys in Africa who claim their genitals were stolen by sorcerers. [/QUOTE]
