Another example of experimental testing of hypotheses in evolution. Bet hedging.

And since you mentioned it: Atheists had better hope I'm wrong.

What does this mean?

It sounds kind of threatening.

What if you're right?

(I know one thing will be the case if you are right: the words "age" and "history" won't have any meaning anymore.)

If you stick around long enough, you'll actually get to agree with me on a lot of stuff:

1. I believe in microevolution.
2. I believe Creationism should not be taught as science.
3. I believe the earth is 4.57 billion years old.
4. I believe the universe is 13.7 billion years old.
5. I believe the universe is expanding.
6. I call Intelligent Design a sham.
7. I claim there's no evidence for creatio ex nihilo.
8. I claim there's no evidence of a worldwide flood.
9. I claim Noah's Ark was not a ship.
10. I claim the Bible is not a science book.
    

It's just that 5% that I don't agree with science on that makes science rear its ugly head and show how intolerant it is to anyone who dares disagree.

If you really believed number 10, why do you continue to use it as such?

He uses it as a history book, not a science book.

 

[BananaSlug]

He uses it as a history book, not a science book.

But he is attempting to use it to disprove science. If the Bible is not a science book, it cannot be used to disprove current scientific research.

Why?

Is science supported by circular logic (as I suspect)?

No, but the Bible is (Why is the Bible true? Because the Bible says so).

Please tell me what circular logic science uses...

Nope, nothing is.

Yet another example how 95% of statistics are made up on the spot.

 

[Split Rock]

It's just that 5% that I don't agree with science on that makes science rear its ugly head and show how intolerant it is to anyone who dares disagree.

Let's look at this "5%" in more detail, shall we? What don't we agree on:

1. When the earth came into existance
2. Whether there was ever a global flood
3. The usefulness of sciecne in explaining the physical world
4. Whether the first human was Perfect
5. How humans came to exist
6. On whether age can be "embedded."
7. Who wrote Genesis
8. What the intent of the writer(s) of Genesis was
9. Whether the sun came before the earth
10. Whether palnts came into existance before there was the sun
etc., etc.

Sure seems like more than 5% to me......
