Quote by: Isherwood Many of us, when science can provide no absolute proof (which is almost all the time), tend to believe that which is the most consistent with the known science. We look at biology, chemistry, physics, geography and the other sciences and accept the explanation that fits best with what we do know.
So I can easily accept that this planet came to be in the manner described by astrophysics and life evolved generally in the manner described by evolutionary theory.
Supernatural explanations are unnecessary and require violating physical laws for no purpose. You don't need the supernatural to explain what has happened. |
No sudden drive for polemics, though.
Example :
1.
The BigBang theory does not provide any data on the most crucial questions :
- cause for a single atom to appear and/or be created, emerged (not to mention another one, to interact with, since no action/interaction can manifest its presence or existance with a single matter only !)
- force that made the first move
No answers whatsoever. Just a plain speculative material, instead.
2.
The Bible's description for the Man's Creation is a symbolic one.
Creationism vs. Evolution ?
Except for some speculations, we have no clue on both subjects, respectively.
P.S.
We have a hazy view on Science, still. We are far better than guys who lived thousands years ago, though. I wonder people to think about us, some thousands years ahead.
I assume they would think in a similar way and take us as morons :-)
And it would continue (like "Energizer" battery) :-)
