Here are some meditations.
A brief comment on a (singular) approach of some modern policies for practising science is not a generalisation if it hasn't stated it is a generalisation.
Most scientists don't research at discretion but in a regimented context. This largely works well but apart from a risk of politics or commerce occasionally gaining an upper hand, it can be more difficult for ordinary people to gain an entree, than when science was something folks did in their front room with the neighbours gathered round!
Therefore when one person says the word "science" others would help if they pause before assuming anything about the usage, and thinking.
When I was a kiddie we were supposed to be interested in science and I think we were, in those days. This was a work of intellectual mercy.
Belief is a result and not a starting point, in which case it has resulted from something previous.
God gave us intellect to perform acts of intellectual mercy.
To use the phrase "belief based" as a swear word makes no good sense.
People with brain conditions have pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps against shame.
Knowledge is precious and we have to pull together to preserve it.
The same methods are employed in all fields of knowledge, namely an endeavour of investigation combined with tentative inferences.
There may be a misunderstanding as the relative usages of the Christians-only creation section and the open-to-all creation section.
It would help if thread starters state their purpose in framing their enquiry. Are they looking for us to help them flesh out their hunch. Are they proposing a counter to something else. In each case we need some indication to start with. And if an afterthought occurs let it be stated honestly as an afterthought and not gradually revealed as the ulterior motive in mayhem and bitterness causing.
Please don't allow each other to sneer at i those who need their mind ii those who need words iii those who seek meaning in Holy Scripture.
Those are only some of the issues I've observed over the years.
