Unfortunately, I can't say the same for those who believe, without evidence, in god. <br /><br />Nice, clear write-up, AngryLabRat. <br /><br />A pity so many people are such strangers to critical thinking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180270405717404649.post-44143258466379656262007-01-04T01:14:00.000-08:002007-01-04T01:14:00.000-08:00Hey Angry Lab Rat,

It shows a real misunderstanding of religion and makes you no better than the Christian fundamentalists that enrage you. <br /><br />Creationism, at least in the Catholic faith, is not a belief in Adam and Eve. It is a belief that God created the universe in some way. I like to believe it was through evolution. <br /><br />Go ahead and knock down Intelligent Design. Plesae do. It's a philosophical argument that is misleadingly presented as science, and I hate its core. But your argument does little to help our cause. If someone is truly ignorant about evolution and intelligent design, they will not be converted by your abrasive sarcasm. <br /><br />There is nothing wrong with faith. Even scientists must employ a little faith in their research. We have yet to explain leaps in evolution and yet believe that evolution is a driving force in our development. <br /><br />If someone wants to believe in a higher being, I say let them have their faith. The soul is beyond the jurisdiction of science and may not be disproved. Believing in something like Nareau is harmless while people recognize that a comprimise between science and religion may exist. Who are you to take their belief away from them?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02611358289588937964noreply@blogger.com
