    The post of mine was directed at one who said even if science is wrong he will trust it.

    The point is you may believe something in scence now and be wrong. Then you will have to change your mind and believie what new finding science has come up with.

    Faith applies to those who trust science. I reject any scientific finding that goes against the Bible.

    As long as you understand evolution is a theory and not a fact.

    Yes, I would say its pretty easy to understand, and I reject it. One choice is because they have more sense.

    In scientific terms, yes, it is a fact.

    Sure the purpose of evolution is to disprove the Bible. Another way of origin of man had to be found other than God. Else you would be accountable to God. And 'lo and behold' evolution.

    Again it doesn't bother me what you think of my belief or faith. As long as you recongize that what you have is a belief and faith also.

    No, it doesn't strike me as odd at all. He knows that His people will believe Him .

    Rare? I read where they are plentiful. What are the circumstances requiring fossils to be made?

    Really? I thought fossils were important to evolution. But, no matter. They are found plentifully over all the world. Arnt' they? I mean, fossils of sea life found everywhere?

    But, as was explained to me, a fact in science is a theory. Thats handy.

    His people? Ah, I didn't realize that God was so selective, he wants people who take things on faith and dismiss evidence instead of inquisitive people.

    Nope, fossilization is a rare occurrence. For fossilization to occur, there needs to be pressure and time.

    Who the hell said that? Because it isn't right. A fact in science is basically an observation. A theory is an explanation for observations.

    An observation is just a theory. Based on the already established views of the one interpreting the observation.

    In other words, if one believes in the theory of evolution, then he observes and sees things that prove evolution. Still makes evolution a theory.

    Okay, see, there is a difference between layman terms and scientific terms.

    No, if somebody sees an observation, then a hypothesis is formed. More observations occur, and if they agree with the hypothesis then the hypothesis will eventually become a theory after going through a long process of peer review. If the observations don't agree, the hypothesis is thrown out and a new one is formed. Sorry that you have such prejudices against scientists.

    Yes, but you said the observation was a fact. Facts in science are nothing but theories, or hypothesis or evidences for a theory.

    Evolution is nothing but a theory.

    Yes, He is selective and He does want His people to come by faith.

    Maybe a rare occurance but there are lots and lots of fossils. Lots. And yes special circumstances must exist to make a fossil. And there are many sea fossils found all over the world. On the land.

    And just so happens a flood, like Noahs flood, would have been able to produce such a large amount of fossils, and give the perfect ingredients necessary to make a fossil. Interesting.

    NO.. facts are FACTS around which a scientist builds theories that can be corrected as MORE FACTS come along.

    65 million years ago there were some inland seas that no longer exist.. like the Interior Seaway in the middle of the US.. Like the Fayum Depression in western Libya..

    Saudi Arabia had several small inland seas. Any first year geology major would know that.

    So you think every gene pool on Earth is static and doesn't change? The percentage of human redheads right now is exactly the same as it was 1000 generations ago and the same as it will be in another 1000?

    Facts are not theories.

    Once again for the willfully ignorant.

    A SCIENTIFIC THEORY is based upon facts, laws and hypothesises, is testable and falsifiable, has no evidence that can't be worked into the theory (has never been demonstrated to be false) and due to the overwhelming amount of evidence in support is considered the best hypothesis (all theories are hypothesis but not all hypothesises are theories) available. It is however not considered proven as proof is considered impossible in science. Science is based upon probability not absolute certainty.
