Re: Evolution Pros and Cons

One of the saddest things about our information based civilization is that no matter how strange your beliefs or what you need to be true to support your beliefs you can always find someone who shares them and is will to pat your back and tell you what you want to believe. This flaw in our info society can be seen on the nightly news where if you disagree with what one news anchor says you can always change the channel to another whose slant is more to your liking. If you need to believe that alien hybrids are running the United Nations you can find a web site to confirm your fears, if you believe that that there are UFOs filling the sky's you can find a site that agrees. If you need to pick apart a scientific theory with out any real evidence you can always find someone who to fill that need. Creationists need to feel like god is in control and that the natural world proves this. they are wrong, they have been wrong since the Earth was shown to be spherical instead of flat and that Earth orbits around the sun. If you need to believe the Earth is 6000 years old you can find a dim wit to confirm those beliefs. conversely if you are strong enough to want the Truth unvarnished by belief you can find it as well. If you want to believe the Creator has his hand in every cell division that occurs on the Earth you are welcome to that belief. Just remember that belief has never and will never change reality. if you want to believe in god please do so but when you try to allow that belief to dictate what is true and what is false independent of reality then you are doing your self , and your god a disservice, hopefully he will forgive your insult.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
