What’s the difference between Science and Faith, in some eyes there is none, in others there is a whole lot.

The real answer is the simple fact that with science to make it true science the event can be repeated over and over with the same results and by different people of different beliefs at different times under different conditions.

The Pope an Satan can hang Christ the Son of GOD on a cross, Science says the man will die, when he dies that’s science, when he comes to life again. it is a belief and not science until you can prove how not why he came back to life.

And for Darwin, just remember that the Creationism words were written when communication was in a vocabulary of some 1000 to 5000 words at the most. And now as were are taking the first trials at such powers the vocabulary is some 10,000 to 25,000 words. That’s like trying to teach a cave man how to program a DVR (since the VCR is now history along with the VHS tape) and then making that cave man teach others with 10 times the words in use and have them understand words they have never conceived of being used or how to use them. It’s all a down speaking and comprehension factor and the big argument over Creation -vs- Evolution is all based on the translation and comprehension factors. And those two factors is what the arguments are over. It will never be settled until both original sides can make their statements to give truth to the reasons for the fight. We know the odds of that happening.

Death may become us all before that answer can be resolved.

Montel, knock it off

Science cannot prove creation did not happen, and Hawking proved the big bang “let there be light” did happen.

No one can say for sure what happened because none of us were there.

Not even you

Dear # 25
ya know, we could be polite, we could take the high road, and try to engage creationists in a active and civilized debate on the differences between science and faith and discuss the current fact-based models on which modern sciences like physics, biology, chemistry, cosmology (to mention a few) are based, but…. been there, done that.

You’re a creationist? You’re an idiot.

Once again may I point out that Charles Darwin believed in God until one of his children died, and his wife never lost her faith. Darwin did NOT become an agnostic because of his own “Theory of Evolution” and he kept correspondence with many of the religious leaders of the time, not once asking them to stop believing, but instead trying to reconcile both Creation and Evolution.

The real idiots are the ones that believe in only one or the other and wont allow for BOTH. After all, none of us were there, and if there is a God (and yes I think there may well be) who are we to know what he was thinking or whether or not evolution is just another tool in his bag of tricks.

The forgotten history of creationism & evolution is that old bones were once used as “proof” that Genesis occurred as many times as the Lord needed to find one that finally worked. In other words, evolution was once used to PROVE creation.

Neither Darwin nor any scientist has ever claimed to know everything or have all the answers. Even the best Saints never claimed to have all the answers. Beware the idiots who claim they know. Those are the dangerous ones.

Even Socrates said he knew he was smarter than everyone else because he knew he did not know anything at all.

In other words, keep an open mind and keep asking questions!

Hey 22, I object to the fact you saying those of us who believe in creationism is “nonsense”. Were those scientists who found that print there when our supposed “ancestor” made that print? No, so they don’t really know what animal left that foot print. Evolution is the ultimate in complete nonsense. It’s like throwing a stick of dynamite in a pile of wood and expecting a perfectly built house standing there when the smoke clears. It just does not calculate, and is surprising when intelligent people add two and two and get five. Scientists want science to prevail as a ultimate authority; so they’ll manufacture “evidence” like that print (In the sense that they can unequivocally pronounce what the print is from when they weren’t even there to see it!) If the Almighty Scientists told you to jump off a cliff, would you? I do believe you would.

“our republican, anti-science government preps and launches a rocket that will help prove the continuing deterioration of atmosphere and global-warming. and SURPRISE, it fails and falls back to earth ruining 9-years of work.

perhaps a complete examination of this event will allay concerns that deliberate sabatogue is involved here.”

News flash: since 2006 we’ve had a Democratic Congress and since January 20, we’ve had a Democratic President.

Further, OCO was to join a series of satellites orbiting in close formation, called the “A Train” designed to monitor global warming and the like.

http://csc.gallaudet.edu/soarhigh/A-TrainExplain.html

All of the A Train satellites were launched by a “Republican, anti-science government.”

Finally, rockets sometimes fail. That’s the nature of the beast, and that’s why we have the popular phrase “It’s not exactly rocket science” to indicate something that is easy.

But who are we to let facts get in the way of a good, paranoid rant.
