[QUOTE="DogmaHunter, post: 69562350, member: 346237"] Disagree. Instead, you used many, many,...many words to simply declare that certain physical claims aren't allowed to be tested and should just be "believed". And the only requirement to qualify for such a claim, seems to be that it should be part of the particular religion you happen to believe in. But what I really think, is that the [I]actual [/I]requirement is that 1. it should be part of the religion you adhere to and 2. if tested, the claim will be shown to be false or very unlikely Because I'm quite sure, that you wouldn't hesitate for a second to use scientific evidence that you think fits into "biblical history". Amirite? Science is a method to study the natural world / reality. Using this method results in models about phenomena of nature, on how they work. Those models represent our body of knowledge of "how stuff works". That knowledge is then used in a practical way, to build new technology. The end product of which, are things like cars, computers, healthier lives,.. Science is a very good and succesful way to differentiate between truth (small 't') and fiction. And you have given me exactly zero reasons for why this method shouldn't be applied to investigate claims about human ancestry or geological phenomena. [/QUOTE]
