Why Evangelicals Are Fooled Into Accepting Pseudoscience

"Biologists must constantly keep in mind that what they see was not designed, but rather evolved."
— Francis Crick What Mad Pursuit (1990)

By the way Stu, you fraud. It seems you just just took the nobel prize winner out of context.
 
Quote from Artful D0dger:

Can you find us anything on why obsessive atheist zealot biggots ironically display religious zeal for indicting the right of others to their own beliefs? That would be an interesting topic to read about...

Neaahhh... You can believe whatever you want. But we have a right to point out that some stuff just doesn't make sense. We also have a right to not believe what you believe in.

Quote from jem:

That is the thing about et atheist fools. They get hit over the head with science and they attempt say the science is wrong because they did not like the name of the website or the author who quoted the scientist.

Well science evolves and changes... It admits when something is wrong. See the evolution of the scientific model for the atom etc...

Religion doesn't, it's dogma... If something is wrong then you can't change it... Hell... Not changing a word of the testament is actually an instruction in the Bible...
 
Quote from Free Thinker:


"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'" - Isaac Asimov

We should all be suspicious of the validity of intellectuals' knowledge. If this knowledge is so superior to the kind of understanding we find in the common people why is it that intellectuals' knowledge is constantly being revised, refuted, and rejected within the intellectual realm itself?
 
Quote from Free Thinker:

i fixed this to make it accurate:

I have have given you quotes from noble prize winning scientists who state the universe appears designed BUT THEN WENT ON TO EXPLAIN THAT IT IS NOT.

When scientists "explain" they do so within the limits of their models of the world. Such explanations are constanly being revised so they are compatible with the latest scientific paradigm and are inevitably superficial and incompletely representative.

Science is not competent to comment on the ultimate origins of the world.

Quote from 377OHMS:

Care to elaborate or are you just pissing from great height?
Care to elaborate how this notion of yours is anything but pseudoscience, seeing how it is not a scientific one?

"Do you think living cells simply organized themselves from mud spontaneously?"

lol?

An intellectual puppy is laughing at me? Did you even understand my post?

I'd debate the meaning of knowledge with you but I'd prefer that you have at least a rudimentary understanding of epistemology.

No, I didn't skip science class. I have several university credits in maths and sciences.

What is "this question sure does show common people intellect"? What were you trying to say here?
