Quote by: Chris  you are the perfect example and thanks for pointing this out. I believe you are confusing two different things. You, as an old earth creationist, have modified your interpretation of the bible so that the bible can still be true. Was the earth created in 7 days? No. but you modify your own rules. Its like you are trying to push a square peg through a circular hole. Whereas with science, we observe that the hole is circular and we modify our peg from square to circular and it fits. |
Your the one comparing two different systems. One based off belief and one based of fact.
Religion is based of personal experience and interpretation.
Science is fact and knowledge.
Everyone knows or should understand evolution. Some of us just choose to take our belief and see that as a long process clearly directed and intended by a higher power. The creation story spread out over time. The writers of the bible had no concept of any great length of time, the only reason 7 days was used is it was likely a time within their limited realm of understanding or taken from earlier myth to appease pagans.
You, like so many atheists assume the bible MUST be taken literally and then religion debunked on that sole basis.
