I know what you mean.But, when you have some who have more fundamentalist beliefs, that are extremely important for them to protect, they will indeed do what is necessary to protect those beliefs. We see that behavior on these boards each and every day.
Then you believe it is God-energy that is causing the expansion of the universe to speed up?I know what you mean.
Some of us fundamentally believe in God-energy, while others fundamentally believe in dark-energy and dark-matter.
There is more to reality than the physical. You need to get out more.That's actually quite true. However, the best way to understand physical reality is via science.
No, I reject them in favor of theology and the sciences that are consistent with the theology.You reject man's combined knowledge of biology, geology, astronomy, linguistics, paleontology and anthropology in favor of your religious dogma.
I've always noticed that it is what science has said that has altered reality to come into line with its viewpoint rather than science altering its viewpoint to better fit with reality.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.
Yes, it's going backwards into a primitive way of thinking. More like an animal than human.Does going from a Christian of 40 years to an atheist towards the Christian God count as changing my way of thinking?
Translation: "I haven't learned anything, and still reject science that conflicts with my religious dogma."I've learned a lot too. That's why I reject bad science.
I specifically referred to physical reality. This includes where humans come from.There is more to reality than the physical. You need to get out more.
There is no science consistent with theology. They are like apples and oranges. If you guys just kept to your theology, we wouldn't have these silly arguments on the internet.No, I reject them in favor of theology and the sciences that are consistent with the theology.
I guess in your imagination you are one of the world's greatest original thinkers.
Nope.
It's true because God inspired it.
The Bible is a record of that truth.
Those who are inspired by God know the Bible is true.

Guys can we keep it friendly? Just so you know I used to be an atheist but I found God and His love for me has grown stronger as my love for Him has also grown. I hope His love reaches all people because it is warm and it is wonderful. (sorry I had to get up on the soapbox, couldnt help myself)
IMO, I tend to think, Doveman is stating; he doesn't care for the realities that scientific evidence leads to.
That is immensely frustrating, with so much co-operation being achieved in this regard -- in these very exciting times.
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.
I like to think that we're doing here in 'Lines of Evidence' (and of course long before I came here) -- is good science. Forgive me for being so optimistic, but it's in my nature to try and focus on positive stuff. Most of the time.

As my first reply to you was deleted for goading and flaming you ( I'm still getting used to the ultra-warm and fuzzy vibe here ) , I shall re-do my reply observing the Site-wide Rules and Moderation Protocol:
I cannot imagine how anyone could last that long and then give up. My first assumptions about you are correct. Don't mistake religion for God, it seems you are bound to repeat that mistake.
I am quite certain by the nature of your posts, that you do indeed struggle to understand how people can disagree with you and then you must label them.
Imagine this; it happens to people all the time and it will continue to, whether you agree with it or can cope with it or not.
Doveman,
Just so we're on the same page here, would you regard the LINES OF EVIDENCE related to EVOLUTION as presented on the Berkeley website good/bad science? (read here: Lines of evidence: The science of evolution )
If your think it's BAD SCIENCE, would you please tell me why you think so -- providing at least one detail presented there, which you find to be bad science?
Thanks in advance,
lewiscalledhimmaster

Your dime-store psycho-babble may impress Davian and some of the Moderators, but too most of us it's just what it is psycho-babble.
How did I know you'd follow your psycho-babble with a double dose of more psycho-babble.
It's a pity that you've haven't got much more than some old crotchety psycho-babble nothings to present as an argument, but that's just the way your psycho-babble ilk manifest after turning there backs on "religion" <-- thinking it to be God. Nothing new.
Another post that speaks for itself.
