Cool. When I was researching this for my own response, I came across some articles talking about how Alpha and Beta Centauri appear to get close but never cross. Thanks.Have you never heard of eclipsing binaries?
I read through it. Not a single bit of evidence that prayer can heal.Current review article form responsible scientists. Enjoy: Can Prayer Heal?
I guess that makes lawyers elitist? Doctors? Architects? Engineers?And everyone knows this, so few have the money and time to do it in a way they believe will be satisfactory. And they feel this makes scientists elitist.
As I said earlier, I wouldn't listed to Mike the radiologist's opinion on how to build a home nor would I listen to Pat the architect's opinion on how my x-ray shows cancer.No, science is biased because they do not listen to large numbers of people who are not publishing papers and have different ideas what constitute relevant facts, which ideas would not be considered "quality and merit"..
As I believe you have been told before, evolution is both a fact and a theory.It's still a theory, I agree. My objection since the beginning has been that many are saying it is a fact.
By that logic, if there are no witnesses, we can't be sure someone is guilty of murder except by inference. And yet murderers are convicted without eyewitnesses every single day.That is exactly the point at issue. You were not there, you cannot be sure except by inference.
That's interesting because it appears that you reject any evidence that disagrees with a young earth and global flood.I am not a YEC. I am an "I don't know".
You know a a lot of them, you just don't accept them.i do not know of any positive falsification.
The original evidence we have of say, a stegosaurus comes from 80 million years ago. So...You can analyze the past as far back as your original evidence goes, plus a little bit. It is the distant past you cannot analyze.
And everyone knows this, so few have the money and time to do it in a way they believe will be satisfactory.

Yes, indeed.Well, yeah, science is hard work... It takes time, discipline and in some cases, yes, money (to setup experiments, research,...).
That's not how a lot of people see it.
That is exactly the point at issue. You were not there, you cannot be sure except by inference.
I agree. We just disagree on which ones are the wrong ones. History shows people do not act on the right ideas, but on the ideas they believe.
I am unfamiliar with the position. What does that entail?
You are certainly within your rights to label your position however you want, but most people would consider not knowing if there is a God (agnosticism) and believing that God exists (theism) as contradictory.
Yes, indeed.
And what does the Good Book say?
Luke 12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Now you know why some people defend science like someone is breaking into their house to steal their treasures.
"I don't know if a god exists, but I believe one does"
Isn't that the whole idea of "religious faith", though?
It certainly is not a position you'll find among fundamentalists. Those people will not only all claim to know, they'll even claim certainty.
But it seems to me that the more "sophisticated"/"educated"/"reasonable" theists almost always will say that they don't claim to know. I certainly distinctly remember Ken Miller, for example, say exactly that. These people understand that "personal evidence" isn't usefull evidence to convince other people and that "knowledge" is something that you can share and demonstrate.
Danneels, a retired catholic cardinal in Belgium, literally said once "it's not knowledge like knowledge of gravity, it's faith".
You can read my books at my website. Ancient documents with technology described that has been patented in our age, but we do not use. The flood is a product of technological mishap.Based on what evidence? You seem to be making that up.
And those emissions are gone in a matter of a few minutes. You might as well argue that the horse manure on the roads proved that a wagon passed down this road 100 years ago, as to argue that we can use evidence from today to argue what happened a million years ago int he sky. The horse manure is gone, just like my emissions will be gone by tomorrow.When you speed up to pass another car, you leave evidence behind that you did it. One example is increased emissions from the engine.
If light sped up or slowed down, it would leave evidence behind.
Elucidating the principles of gear ratios is completed. Actually, I don't think there has been a new discovery in Classical Mechanics in the last century, yet it works for whatever we care to use it for. https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-...thing-more-recent-than-Newtons-laws-of-motionCan you give an example of one field in which it is claimed there is nothing left to do?
You think that 62% of Americans accepting that humans evolved over time is a small segment? Don't forget that acceptance of evolution is, on average, much higher around the world than it is in the US.
Not of it appearing overnight. But a perfect example is the pastor of a church I and my first wife helped with. In about ten years he went from a promise from God to a few million dollar buildings, and the banks soliciting him when they wanted new business. Home - Crossroad Christian Church His story is that God told him what could be done, and also told him the first two people God asked to do this said no. I actually know several more examples, but not as closely as I do this one.Can you give even one example of this happening? Specifically that someone said "I have a million dollars" and then having a million dollars appear in their bank account.
