Evidence for the Creationist Model

[Tao_Equus]

Hi Press and thx for your kind words

Perhaps we should as well . . . see science in religion and religion in science, so to speak. I stretch the analogy (as all analogies are stretched), but I think that oil and water are not so exclusive as I first suggested

.

I cant help but note that amongst some here there is a pretty low regard for your average scientists capacity to understand issues of Faith. To be honest I really dont know as I am not an academic or scientist but a humble artist of the palate. I did once consider developing my education into the sciences but never got beyond a foundation 1 year course of home learning through the UK's Open University,( and another 1 year open learning
course in Arboriculture/silviculture which I did in my youth while I was working on a farm in Greece). I have however met quite a few scientists and those whom I have got into philosophical discussion with were in no way athiestic. I was maybe just lucky though.
Its my opinion that people of Faith tend to focus on their derision of the prominent career athiests and apply it across the board to all science. Scientists as a whole tend to be specialists in a narrow field and for many I think this intensive study of the minutia brings them a strong feeling that things are not here by chance alone. This is certainly the impression I have been given.
So I do not in any sense feel that Faith and Science should be uneasy partners. But Religeon and Science almost always are. But then again I think the same of Religeon and Faith. In my short time on this forum I have come to revisit and share the thoughts of myself and others in a new way for me. Its been quite an intense experience and I am thankful to ALL contributors. It seems that I am an antidissestablishmentarianist ,(lol, I've always wanted to use that word), but I have come to see how much closer my core faith is to that of so many others. And I hope that what I have to say will open some eyes to the fact that science is not against faith. And maybe that it is even beneficial in that it helps to root out the erronous and fraudulent from religeons. One can but live in hope.

Thanks again for your post

Regards

I like the distinction you point out, TE. I think it's a good way to look at the "issue." (Quotation marks because what you're saying, I think, is that the fact that there is an issue at all is due to just a few career atheists.)

peace,

press

And probably many more career religionophiles
