believer___ < But considering the biological sciences were doing just fine prior to the theory of evolution coming along >_____ well, much has changed in the last 150 years in regard to mans understanding in the biological sciences......
believer, now,. now you know I didnt call you a liar, I do believe however that religious faith can sometimes stand in the way of objective analysis....BTW, I for one do not believe evolution invalidates the possibility of a creator, as an agnostic, I just dont know one way or the other........
well kitch, looks like your down in the count 6 to 19. BTW, There are quite a number of physicists, biologists & chemists that have won the noble prize and they dont lack intelligence. .

philo__ < you don't have any verifiable data to disprove that God didn't create >___ well, I agree and it is after all difficult to prove a negative. As an agnostic, i have no idea whether there was a creator or whether there is a creator, there is really no evidence as far as I can tell that one exists or existed.

As an agnostic, i have no idea whether there was a creator or whether there is a creator, there is really no evidence as far as I can tell that one exists or existed. All I have to go on is what we humans can measure and observe and what science has learned so far is an evolutionary process has taken place on earth for several billion years, perhaps initiated by a creator or not. The fossil record and DNA evidence indicate common descent in the tree of life on planet earth..less
believer, in as much as you reject evolution, fact is, its taught in the science class room, whereas your faith is where it should be--sunday school. as much as you would like evolution to go away, it will not as it is the foundation upon which the biological sciences rest....

< scientists are left to literally live and die by the popular embrace of their theories. Not surprisingly, this makes for a very paranoid, very competitive working environment>
looks like rambling nonsense really about nothing. do you know anything at all about science or the scientific method? Have you worked in the area of science? Do you know any one that makes a living in scientific research? Do you have any training in the sciences whatsoever? Based on your ramblings one would conclude no to all the above.
I have spent me career in science. Is it competitive? yes it can be, that's what keeps us hard working and honest. If you lie, if you falsify data, you will get discovered and you will get fired. If you make a honest mistake, someone will find it and it gets corrected. The vast majority of scientist go about their humble lives doing the best work they are capable of.
< left to literally live and die by the popular embrace of their theories.>
Where do you get this nonsense from, creation web-sites?? Can you provide examples?
< this makes for a very paranoid, ......... environment >
can you provide examples?
on occasion, there are mentally ill scientists that come along, just as in any population. Bet mental illness among scientist is lower than that found in the clergy, I understand there are a lot of nut-jobs there.
In a nut shell, you and conner have absolutely no idea what your talking. as you and conner uses the wonders of science to post your senseless anti-science ramblings, we forgive you for your ignorance..less
philo, . SO when is the self-correction from the fundamentalist's dogmatic world view to occur to account for the 150 years of data generated by thousands of scientist from around the world for the past 150 years that indicate evolutionary process's as factual and the age of the earth is not in the thousands of years, but rather billions?? It would appear you and ken conner are stuck i...more

It would appear you and ken conner are stuck in the same position as the catholic church and their ptolemaic dogma. Just as the church learned the truth can set you free, you too can enjoy the liberation of accepting the evidence in place of your dogmatic view of life on our planet..less
DP_____ < Christians, by contrast, acknowledge God as the center of our universe and His Word our definition of right and wrong. >______ How many centuries and how many millions were killed in the Xian Wars in europe arguing over "true" interpretation of the bible and who was "right"??. And of course Xians have never been "right" no matter what......
