I'd like to see any evidence for this... because so fay you have made sever blatantly false statements in this thread alone.
Science is built on the concept of evidence. This isn't due to a religious preference, it's due to its proven effectiveness.
If I'm wrong, I'm happy to have it demonstrated to me and I'll change my opinion. When you use phrases like "My mind is made up on this issue, you will not change it." it makes it pretty clear that you are not open to discussion or re-assessing your assumptions.
Conviction without justification seems like something people should avoid.And you would be right
Except that science is not a religion, and also as a note, it is against forum rules to call it so.
A very important first step to understanding evolution is accept it when someone points out that you have misunderstood some concept.I am not attempting to make Evolution a religion, I am trying to understand Evolution from the perspective of a layman.
If I could understand Evolution from the layman's perspective: developing a discipline around what I understand, would guard me against making the wrong interpretation or worse.
You may think I want to just change Evolution to suit me, but what I am saying is that without discipline no real change will be possible.
Science has nothing in common with religion. It's very often the opposite.I'm not a flat earther, science, is great, until it conflicts with Gods word. I will stand on the scriptures and my faith.
I would disagree, on one point you make...science is a religion, and has been one for a long time.
You realize, i hope, that this the very description of close mindedness. You truly are a religionist.My mind is made up on this issue, you will not change it.
How many times should I read it? Will a 14th reading change the contents?Your incorrect...read a brief history of time
The convictions I have regarding the process of Evolution is based upon what the Earth itSelf is showing us. The Earth can not lie. It's just that simple.Please, tell me if you have convictions of your own, or that you can see conviction of some kind, informing your greater Evolution?
Oh, sure - like 'not collecting stamps' is a hobby...Not to be a religion is to be a religion unto it self. My mind is made up on this issue, you will not change it.
I have a copy - which page talks about the meaning of life?Your incorrect...read a brief history of time
Evolution is a valid scientific theory with all of the attributes of a valid scientific theory. Whether or not you ‘believe’ in it does not change that.Science is a philosophy and a belief system.
