Evolution is a fact, you may dispute the mechanism through which evolution manifests itself (natural selection), but refuting evolution is akin to refuting that we orbit the sun.
I always wonder why is it that the rest of the civilised world has no problem with the scientific theory of Evolution, whereas it is a gigantic problem in the US.  |
Is it a "gigantic" problem in the US? I don't see how it is really slowing us down. Come on, say it. You want to say we're all stupid
You only believe the earth orbits the sun because that's what you were taught. Did you ever try to prove it for yourself?

I can imagine, 3000 years or so ago, one man saying how unreasonable and anti-scientific it was to consider the earth as
anything other than a flat form--how do you think everything stays down!?!
Yeah, you are right when you said science is a growing, changing process. It has been wrong as many times as religion. You believe what makes sense to you, and just like a man from 3000 years ago, he believed what made sense to him. He took the science of his time, it made sense to him, he believed it. When science is proven wrong and corrects itself, people adjust their beliefs.
I'm a big fan of science and I do not take the Bible literally. But no matter how you spin it, even with our best science, nothing can explain the human soul, where it comes from, or where it goes when the vessel dies. Until science can explain that, we will have religous beliefs.
