Let me get this straight. The main reason you dismiss Evolution is because the Bible says so, but you also dismiss Evolution because you cannot directly observe its theory. To use your same argument, how do you obvserve and verify the events and teachings in the Bible? You are calling us unscientific for believing a 'historical' theory that, even though it has heaps of evidence, cannot be directly obvserved while you see no problem believing a 'historical' document that is on a whole new scale of unobservable and unverifiable. |
I don't dismiss evolution because I think it's not science; I only place it in that catagory. However, I think it to be extremely absurd in a lot of areas (not that that disproves it, mind you).
You're right, though. I cannot observe or verify anything in the Bible (apart from some other historical documents, but I don't consider history science, either). I take the Bible because of a philisophical reason (which I put to Khuutra up there). When you get down to it, nothing can really be verified empirically without making several assumptions or holding presuppostions. Same with the Bible.

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made. I won't open my unworthy mouth.
