Comments on: Evolution: Americans still don’t get it http://elliottback.com/wp/americans-still-dont-get-it/ Internet & Technology Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:40:56 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: John Lukes http://elliottback.com/wp/americans-still-dont-get-it/#comment-2189232 John Lukes Tue, 06 Oct 2009 10:20:11 +0000 /?p=134#comment-2189232 Hullo I live in a country where the average person just can't believe that Americans are unable to see many common sense observations. Progress in understanding the world and its people surely depends on a thinking population electing intelligent problem solving politicians who have a will to find truth and combat human greed and ignorance. Church leaders seldom are free from dogma to look in such a direction and the odd one who does is condemned by others. Big oil and obscene wealth is not challenged. Why? You can be taught to conform and fear seems to be a motivator to follow the mob. Which institutions do this to a population. They are not your friend. Hullo

No history, legend, or lore exists past Adam & Eve. All of real science PROVES an Earth & Universe far too young to have given evolution its long ages needed to produce man from Molecules. Science CONFIRMS the Bibles time scale but isn't necessary as Young Earth Science has PROVEN the earth young when the evolutionist ADMIT never proving even 1 million yrs.

It's because I have faith. It's not scientific, but I am sure. I'm able to respect the fact that the scientific community and I arrived at different opinions because we used very different processes to form them. And that's what I'd like to see more of in the debates about this issue--respect. (Not here or anything, just in general.) Even if we can't agree, I'd love to see scientists show more respect to people who make decisions based on faith, and more understanding from the religious about the scientific process.

They merely theorize that it was, and accept that it is the most likely theory. In contrast, conservative Christians do not accept this possibility, based on literal interpretation of the Bible. I'm afraid that you're overstating the scientific opinion, and understating the misunderstanding between scientists and Christians.
