[QUOTE="clue, post: 582126, member: 4552"] At the risk of sounding paranoid, I don't think science is as objective as you would like us to believe. Science is driven by people. Are people usually objective, devoid of any leanings left or right? Well, I was really referring to myself and not theists in general. A shortened version of my conversion: Is it plausible that there is a god? What are the major religions? What supporting evidence is there for their beliefs? Are they mutually in/exclusive? Which one seems to be the most credible? I try to be as literal as possible. There are times when the Bible is obviously being allegorical, and I will process those passages accordingly. How can you make a statement like this? Did ALL Christians investigate this for themselves? Or were they just following what the leader of their denomination was stating? And did the leaders EVEN state 'we believe in an old Earth?' Or was it more like 'we believe that a young OR old Earth is compatible with the teachings of the Bible?' I'll have to see some evidence on this. [/QUOTE]
