Now, perhaps you could tell my why your view is right and mine is wrong?
Evolution is based on science. Observation of the real world. Rational analysis of fact.
Creationism and Intelligent design are based on nothing more than faith, magical thinking and religious effort to seem reasonable and rational which neither creationism nor ID is.
If living in a world of faith is what it takes to get one thru the day then so be it for those who live in that world...
Faith isn't gonna stop the tide from coming in no matter how much one wants it not to.
But science has stopped them from coming in on the coasts of Holland.
I choose rationalism and science over faith.
And yes I am right and you are as wrong.
That probably ends the conversation for there really is nothing left to talk about.
Should have known better to even start. Had this same discussion with my father, many, many times over many, many years - IQ 168, Bird Colonel in the Air Force. Respected cold war intelligence analyst. Logistics expert sought by industry and yet with all the scientific evidence available to him his strong religious beliefs prevented him from ever once saying that there was even the tiniest chance that science was right and he was wrong.
Magical thinking - <shakes head in wonderment> I just don't get IT!
Edited to add: Evolution is not "a remarkably unproven theory". Evolution is accepted as fact and the best explanation for the origins of species and how they change over time by the scientific community as a whole. It is observable at every level from the microscopic to the macroscopic, from short time scales to long.
Discussing it with those whose lives are a function of faith is an exercise in futility. <looks for head bang icon>.
I'm outt'a here before this getsf out of hand because in my experience neither side has, will or ever will budge from their personally held view on this subject.
