The main problem I have with some of the more hardcore believers in evolution (or science in general) is the thought that EVERYTHING can be explained through natural processes. That idea seems kind of insane to me. What about human experiences, do they mean nothing? Can everything be explained through some formula or are there some things (supernatural or other) that simply fall outside the realm of what science is capable of understanding. When I use the word "understanding" I am really talking about reproducing a thing/event so it can be studied and made into a law/theory. I think we can all agree there are lots of things ( love, hate, a mothers instinct, etc.) that cannot be quantified by science but we can know through our own experiences or other people experiences that these things are indeed real. At the end of the day I think this debate of "evolution vs. creation" or whatever name you want to give it is really just a hindrance that is tiny, and maybe even slightly insignificant, in comparison to our human experiences and the life we live. I have often heard people state "give science time and it will be able to explain all things" that is, all things through natural occurrences. I know lots (and respect) people who hold to this view. But this truly boils down to a FAITH issue on their behalf.
- I guess what I am getting at is if you hold to this strict scientific view of "truth" I think you will miss out on life and what is possible.designbot
- possible.designbot
- well, no - scientists can be happily married, love their children, etc - but when they do science, they are scientistsmikotondria3
