Perhaps you mean it is a pity we do not have to look very hard. In fact they come looking for us. The Bible says to be fully convinced. Perhaps people think if they can convince others that will help them to convince themselves of whatever it is they are wanting to believe. Even though deep down they know the truth. Double minded people have a conflict, single minded people have peace.A pity you will have to look pretty hard to find someone making a claim that foolish.

It is a lot easier to talk it then it is to walk it. We can even feel a degree of self righteousness if we "blather" enough.what's with all this blather?

That's the thing with these guys.It is a lot easier to talk it then it is to walk it. We can even feel a degree of self righteousness if we "blather" enough.

Real scientists are out in the fields, doing real work -- blood, sweat, and tears; while the rest are here on the Net talking like them.
It is always the people who have not been poked, jabbed and probed by science that have so much confidence in it. They have not had the joy of having who knows what stuck who knows where, just to clean your wallet out and be told that there is nothing more they can do for you. I still joke with my son about one of the jobs he had where they made one of those probes and it was his job to calibrate it.In short, I trust these guys less than I do doctors.
Ya -- I still remember the night I took my wife to the ER with a pain in her side.It is always the people who have not been poked, jabbed and probed by science that have so much confidence in it.

The MRI cost what? $2,000? Did you get your moneys worth? ScienceThey poke, proded, x-rayed, and mri-ed her, then said they were sending her home.
Because some can take that claim on faith.
If then, someone comes along and says Event-x didn't happen because there's no known evidence; the ball is in their court to show it didn't happen, UNLESS that person is going on faith that it didn't happen as well.

I asked what was wrong with her, and they said something I didn't quite understand, so I asked for the doctor.
When he came in, I asked for the scientific name of what was wrong with my wife, and he said he didn't know.
I then asked him why they were sending her home, and he said they did all the tests they could for her and nothing showed up.
We got into a heated discussion, and he asked me, "What more do you suggest we do for her?"
To which I replied, "How about some old-fashioned exploratory surgery like Chad Everett used to do on Medical Center?"
He laughed and started to leave and I said I wasn't leaving until I got the scientific name of her diagnosis -- not a prognosis.
I was then told to leave -- so I left.
They do not care about saving lives. My doctor even told me he does care if I live or die. Although he did have some compassion on my son and thought it would be nice if he had a father. The mafia driven drug companys just want to make money. It helps them to make money if they can keep you alive. There are good doctors out there that do care, but even they are vastly limited by limited resources. They only have so much to work with. Science does not always deliver on what they claim they can deliver on. I am sure the good doctors wish they could do a lot more then they can to be able to help people.Guess that negates all the life saving techniques science has found and employed.

Actually, my dad was a good doctor. It was a very rude awakening for me to find out all doctors were not as good as he was. Half the doctors out there were in the bottom half of their class. The doctor I am talking about is very good at surgery. Sometimes they are known not to have the best communication skills.My doctor is awesome. And because MY doctor is awesome, therefore ALL doctors must be awesome too.

Yep, maybe the next time we get in a taxi we should ask the guy if he was in the top half of his class.Wouldn't half of any class be in the bottom 1/2 of that class for all professions?

Faith is believing something when science says otherwise.In other words, faith is believing in something you want to be true without having a real reason to believe it.
