Sarcopt said:I know a guy who thought he was going to infiltrate 'the evolution conspiracy'. He enrolled in a Ph.D. in palaeontology at McGill and completed the degree as a YEC. Later, while doing fieldwork as a postdoctoral fellow, he was looking at successive beds of rock that all contained footprints. He began to question the flood and finally gave up YEC.
He wrote a book about it.

Phred said:John wonders about the evidence for evolution but of course doesn't bother to question his own beliefs.
JohnR7 said:Does anyone ever wonder why OJ walked and was not convicted? The main reason is because the jury felt that the evidence had been planted. The police department set him up. Because it sure looked like they had plenty of evidence to prove their case. They had the glove in his back yard, they even had the victoms blood in his car. But the defense was able to convince the jury that it had all been planted or falsifed in a attempt for the detectives to prove their case against OJ.
I wonder about evolution sometimes if some of the evidence people use for it is just as planted and manipulated. Oh, I am sure that the detectives in their own mind were convinced that OJ was guilty and that there was nothing wrong with tampering with the evidence to prove their case. The problem is that the jury did not see it that way.

Phred said:Funny... the creationist rationalizes that science isn't real because it's a conspiracy. People telling other people what to believe.
Does anyone know of a single instance in which a person found Christianity without being told about it by another?
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
