There is no reason nor need to trample on the others truf. <BR/>In a very indirect way this is the direction the Catholic Shurch has been going in the last little while, especially with recent statements made by the Pope. <BR/>This is a welcome and much needed breath of fresh air to the old stale arguments brought forth by fundamentalists of every persuasion!<BR/>Your humble scribe;<BR/>Allan W JanssenAllan W Janssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09168659604725040986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32234652.post-36640879822262813122007-06-17T12:09:00.000-04:002007-06-17T12:09:00.000-04:00I have no problem with Creationism.

I have a problem with people treating it as science.<BR/><BR/>If I had a musicians club and someone came to me saying: "Car repair is much better than music, so you should make that part of your everyday discussion" I'd tell them no. Repairing cars has nothing to do with music. It doesn't matter which is 'better'<BR/><BR/>Creationism isn't science, end of story.

At the most I could say I regard it with frustration. <BR/>I wrack my brain trying to figure out how rational people can be so misled as to believe creationism (and most aspects of mainstream religion)in the face of all evidence to the contrary.<BR/>Could it be that emotion short-circuits the logic???<BR/>I take the easy way out and call them idiots, but they're not really. I just don't know WHAT they are and that's the frustrating part.Allan W Janssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09168659604725040986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32234652.post-51458070182885136632007-06-15T01:56:00.000-04:002007-06-15T01:56:00.000-04:00ADon't approach the 'religion' of creation with ha...A<BR/><BR/>Don't approach the 'religion' of creation with hate - approach it with all the fervor and skepticism of science.<BR/><BR/>Study the scientific method and discover the truth for your self.<BR/><BR/>Get Perspective.<BR/><BR/>Divest from a uniformist model. Observe nature from the perspective that the processes that happen today - may not have been the same process in the past. <BR/><BR/>Recently, in my home newspaper, paleontologists observed the twisted skeletal systems of 99% of the dinosaurs on all continents. "It is most likely that the writhing is from asphyxia from drowning in floods or volcanic debris/ash."<BR/><BR/>What does this prove?<BR/>Nothing.<BR/>What does it support?<BR/>Both camps.<BR/>What do we do with this?<BR/>Keep digging.<BR/><BR/>bgBradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16169093613951593415noreply@blogger.com
