This is science and as long as something remains a theory it will continue to be tested and some can be proved to eb wrong but science is like looking at a blurry picture one in which we constantly flesh out more detail with all the time. Most sceince is based on changes to objects over time. The earth used to have different geology and different geagraphy the suns fuel changes slowly over time the interaction between the oceans land and moon casues changes in the moons orbit almost nothing in this universe remains static and the soncept of evolution fits in with this notion very nicely. Galaxies used to look very different and this is a visible thing that can be tested even failed theories have brought about useful tools. To hold off and say you have to wait for science is 100% accurate and nothing but fact is a foolish notion and one that stimies development. That said concepts like evolution and plate tectonics are theories that not everyone needs to know understand only people who make use of those theories need to study them for the rest believe what you want it doesn't really matter. The issue comes in when people try to stop teaching evolution in school. It is a legititmate theory with a mountain of evidence and I have not seen one thing that has refutes it. It does deserve to be taught in school. As for religion yes Dawkins is an atheist and yes it would be natural for him to lash out at religion since the majority of opposition comes from religous people some of whom mail death threats to people like him. However most scientists are deeply religous they have just come a different understanding than other people. Most people who think evolution is a legitimate theory are religous as well. |
My point is I'm not a scientist, and I really don't feel like analyzing every bit of it, and debating everything over and over. My point about science being changed over time, is that I can't put may faith in science. And I know that people keep saying scientists believe in God plenty, but you'll never hear a scientist mix the two. They'd mock anyone who felt that something scientific pointed to God. In fact I know for a fact even well established people have lost their jobs for even suggesting anything of the sort. Evolutionary theory in it self is exclaiming that their was no creator, it's all random mutation and natural selection. I don't hear people saying they believe God guided it or started, or have anything to do with anything. So my point is I'd rather focus on my faith than science, I've found that more fruitful.
I'll also say I'm not one of those people who oppose evolution in school, I'm not all for it either obviously, I just simply don't care.
