Yea, I've heard this before too. You aren't telling me anything I haven't heard here. It is a standard copout that Christians try to rebut with when they have failed their argument. You and I both know that if science truly aligned with the bible, your camp would be singing it from the rooftops, but because it doesn't we get this stupid analysis.
All faith is, is belief without evidence. But here's the thing, science says that the bible is wrong. It's not like you don't have evidence for your beliefs, you have evidence that competes against your belief.
I am? I'm just stating my opinion contrasted with the facts and evidence that we know. I can't make you actually use that evidence, that is on you. As for the rest of your post, just because you work in a nuclear power plant doesn't make you rational about all things in life. You just made an appeal to authority fallacy there. For instance, you don't need evolutionary theory to run a nuclear power plant. Therefore, it is conceivable that you could deny evolution is real and still run the plant just fine. Therefore, I take your resume with a grain of salt. Plus we are on the internet, your intelligence and rationale is judged by your words alone. You don't see me giving my resume to help substantiate my claims do you?
If you want to be rational for all your beliefs, then you first admit that you know nothing. So discard ALL belief systems, Christianity, science, spirituality, everything. THEN you apply the scientific method and gather objective evidence. Then you interpret that evidence and see what the evidence is saying. Unfortunately for you, the Bible is subjective evidence and there is no reasonable or rational explanation on why it would be true. There are too many holes in the logic to make the stories believable. People aren't trustworthy and people wrote the bible. That alone makes it doubtful, but it also defies physics and apparently is the only time in history that that has happened. Therefore it isn't consistent. And finally there is no evidence and even, at times, counter-evidence for the bible.
People aren't trustworthy and people wrote the bible.

Hmmmm...you brought this point out about the Bible not being a scientific treatise and it is about Faith...not science...yet you have only science??
No you did not ..hence I offered it up to the readers here.
You come across like a politician or like the news media..not much difference today ..slanting the view by not including all the pertinent information's for the readers or viewers.
You have a very serious problem here...and one for which you and others of your persuasion do not want discussed.
Many scientists and technology types are Christians. Are you warring against freedom and individual liberty..including freedom of religion. Are you dividing and not uniting???
Here again your religion falls short....right next to your holy faith of science.
This means that unless one can demonstrate that a sample being researched for dating can be shown not to have leeched into or out of...dating by that method is not accurate.
Free..no cover charge.
Now this last quote is pure politics. It is also textbook of todays intelligence, illumination, enlightenment and bias. Politicians are not trustworthy and not good keepers of the public felicity...faith.
If people are not trustworthy..why would one ever trust them with arms...why would anyone ever trust them with a vote...trust them with their own opinions, beliefs, and thoughts????
I can tell you this answer...It is that people in this system which has been Hijacked by a socialist authoritarian system in its core...does not in fact trust its people. This is why they must constantly be monitored, controlled by fear mongering by government, the voting process rigged against them. And it starts very young in public schools before they are able to develop the tools to think for themselves.
This is the danger of the Bible...thinking for ones self...value judgments and thoughts which go against the socialist template. Independent thinking not controlled and regulated by this socialist system.
This is why in certain nations ...the Bible is not wanted and greatly feared if it circulates commonly among the people.
That people are not trustworthy..and only science is trustworthy. You have to go to public schools to buy into such nonsense and try to pass it off as scientific..when thinking people know it is pure politics..the religion of politics..social engineering.
If people are not trustworthy...why would a government ever trust them with private property?? With gun ownership...with their own money...with a vote.
You need some serious practice Krazysh0t.
I don't have a religion...

Such people who can think for themselves are considered a threat this system ...competitors ..not citizens.
You really have some gall posting such a ignorant statement and thinking people do not see through it. Only social thinking can dumb people down so far they don't catch it themselves and think no one else will catch it as well.

The answer is that government does not trust people with any of these. By logic by reason and also by history.
You need some serious practice Krazysh0t.
Seriously get off the Socialism kick. I get it, you think Socialism is the bane of existence. Go start a thread about it and you can whine all day about it, but this isn't a thread about political ideologies so STOP BRINGING IT UP!
They aren't trustworthy. Science backs that up. People remember things wrong and their brain lies to them. Many times they can't help it, but because of this occurrence we cannot trust anything that is subjective evidence (anything said to have happened by a human).

If you cannot trust people with even their private property....then evolution is not happening.
Common sense.

Evolution has zero to do with private property. That had to be the dumbest statement I've ever read about evolution on these forums.
