Here, I am distinguishing between actually knowing something and accepting the assertion of another. My point is opposed to Sye's claim. Knowlege does not come by decree. There are claims that I <I>believe</I> because trust the people who made them. But to <I>know</I> the claims are true, I would have to verify them myself. If you have not tested evolution <I>yourself</I>, you do not know it. You perhaps believe it because you have seen reports by people you trust.Pvblivshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17931937272948538181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4140917903722388348.post-28454931676051984662008-08-10T09:30:00.000-05:002008-08-10T09:30:00.000-05:00Pvb,Don't let the spirit of Sye overtake you compl...Pvb,<BR/><BR/>Don't let the spirit of Sye overtake you completely.nonmagichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12986030395050670437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4140917903722388348.post-45664040833403696452008-08-09T23:04:00.000-05:002008-08-09T23:04:00.000-05:00 Really?

And the main reason that I'm not a Christian is because of the Bible. It's possible that someone like Francis Collins is right, that "God" used evolution, but it doesn't make sense to me. If there was a being capable of creating everything just like that, why would that being use a process that takes billions of years? But then, why would an all powerful creator take six days when they could do it instantly?TJHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10570384567898770658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4140917903722388348.post-41113024894860920382008-08-09T12:25:00.000-05:002008-08-09T12:25:00.000-05:00Thanks for sharing NMT, some good stuff to chew on...Thanks for sharing NMT, some good stuff to chew on here.Maragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12231231272552028973noreply@blogger.com
