Posted in reply to J Anderson | In article <c231o2$10o4$2@digitaldaemon.com>, J Anderson says... >Well, that's the belief of evolutionists. Everytime something doesn't fit the mould they just add a couple million years and say, she'll be right mate. A good example is the technique used to date dinosaurs (as they are a common area of *proof* for evolutionists) and the creation of earth. > >http://www.angelfire.com/mi/dinosaurs/carbondating.html (Christian bias) > >I could say the same thing about Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism or Buddhism. They all have *indisputable proof*. As far as I'm concerned, I'm very Catholic. In fact, my faith has saved me many times when I've been down and such. About *indisputable proof*, as you call it, some saint said once "don't ask why: believe and then you'll understand". Religion, as John has said, concerns things beyond this world, so we can't always explain them, or even understand. But when we believe, then we just come to a degree where we accept. Now, in spite of what I believe, I also believe in evolution. I don't believe completely in what's said in the Genesis about how the Earth and its creatures were created (just as I don't believe other stories in the Old Testament). I can believe, however, that God created some creatures, while others eventually evolved. Maybe it's because Galápagos Islands are so close to me, but I just believe evolution is a fact. So, if someday you feel like giving Charles Darwin a try, visit the Islands and see what's there. It's a paradise: you wouldn't believe the things you see. (This is the second time I advertise Ecuador, and Galápagos in particular. Sorry about that.) ------------------- Carlos Santander B. |

Heh... I know... Let's suggest to Walter that we have a new group at news.digitalmars.com called: D.religion ;-). He's refused every other attempt at splitting the newsgroup. Maybe this time he'll agree. :-D.
