More and more people accept well evidenced science, as they are educated on the same. Those who have religious beliefs, will either adjust their religious beliefs to accommodate these realities, or they may abandon them altogether. World wide statistics on the state of religious beliefs, will support this trend.
I've always noticed that it is religion that has altered its viewpoint to come into line with what science has said rather than science altering its viewpoint to better fit with what religion discovers.
On the other hand, the discoveries of science, has had a huge impact on how some form or adapt their religious beliefs and it will continue to.
And this happens for one simple reason.
Science works.
We've seen countless times that religious belief is not able to get things done.
This is all driven by personal psychology and our personal psychological needs can change as we mature.
Freud was a smart dude, but he got more wrong than he got right.
Well, I like to deal with established facts and solid evidence. Imagination really has little to do with it, but you can assume what you like.
You're still young, in time when you've had a little life experience -- I'm pretty sure you'll change you way of thinking. Everyone does. Welcome to reality,

Gonna Change My Way of Thinking - Bob Dylan
Nope.[serious];66961954 said:Ok, so the chain is:
It's true because the bible says it
The bible is true because it's infallible
The bible is infallible because it's the word of god
The bible is the word of God because God told me
By God told me, I mean he made me really sure that I'm right.
Cool.Ok. If that works for you that is fine.
I reject the theories that contradict the historical, biblical record. I am open to all the others.With that said, you claim there is no reality in science and you reject the theories that come from the same.
They disagree because they haven't figured out how to test the Bible. The Bible is about truth. Science is about theories.If that is your position, I am sure you can understand, how some will disagree that the bible provides a more reliable reality, then science.
Cool.

Who among us would ignore historical truths in favor of invented theories? A scientist.
How do we know what part of the Bible is the historical, biblical record?Cool.

That’s right. Scientific theories are nothing more than invented explanations that may or may not be a true description of reality.Dove a man's statement: 'There is no reality is science, only theories invented to explain reality. ....'
I suspect he meant to say 'There is no reality in science, ....'
If this was their main purpose scientists would rely more on the teaching of Jesus:[FONT="]'....According to the founding father of the history of science,George Sarton (1884–1956), the “main purpose” of science, pursued by disinterested scholars, was “the discovery of truth.”[/FONT]
The evidence is fine. It is your interpretation of the evidence that I don't care for.IMO, I tend to think, Doveman is stating; he doesn't care for the realities that scientific evidence leads to.
I've learned a lot too. That's why I reject bad science.I've learned more over the last ten years, than I've learned in my entire life and a lot of it has to do with opening up to good science.
