It is not as though people who do believe in evolution cannot post in here, so it figures that they could also vote.

It is not as if history books are usually just written reports with no citations of evidence. And you don't get a laboratory with a book about science. Again, the difference is more what is being studied, not that one is "fiction" and the other "truth".

Objective fiction created by egos? And this is all of the past we are talking about?

What exactly do you think someone "conjuring something up in their mind" is? Where are we supposed to store acquired knowledge? What are we to share it with? Our feet?? Oh dear, you don't know how biased interpretations of recorded events can be do you? Even what is recorded in the first...

My post does not mention a problem with the idea that things can change. It refers to the origin of the human race. There is more to that than "things change".

I think God is quite capable of fixing faulty thinking, although I agree that does not make God a stop gap to enable anything per se. If there are other restrictions applied then this is not the case. However again, I do think you have something of a point. My point is that if you start to...

According to the OP, that one in red with the pouch and the strong hind legs was in Peru.

I do not see how you got that question from what I said there. My point was that living as a Christian and adopting the principles of Christian thought can be a way to invite the Holy Ghost to enter us, asking by doing. Add to that any prayer that He interprets as an invitation to enter a...

By redefining science - not by participating in it according to the standards everyone in mainstream science works to. It is pretty clear that they are following and advocating a different way of thinking to me, as in - not the way that science does it, some other way.

It doesn't make all ideas equally valid, but it does mean the person presenting their point of view on an issue needs to explain why they reckon whatever they are saying. God did tell Noah that a flood was coming, that is a supernatural intervention, but then I already mentioned God, so there...

No, but I have the explanation that I was seeking now. Some people think that a consensus in religion does not count as evidence of objectivity, but a consensus in science does and that different perspectives and opinions demonstrate the subjectivity of religion, not it's shortfalls of...

Other people's minds often look strange when peer in too deep and start applying unscientific ideas like "cognitive dissonance" which can only ever be subjectively perceived.

This I do not believe they have the right to. I think it is important that what is taught in science lessons is whatever the leading scientists believe should be taught.

Well it is a sentence and it contains words.

It is impossible by the same standard to make anything exist by saying "Let there be the thing" isn't it?
