faith by definition asks you to believe in the absence of evidence and without question. it can and often does defy logic. faith is build on having an understanding of the world based on doctrine and then looking at evidence in the light of that doctrine. the problem is when new information arises that conflicts with your faith, your response is to insist that the new information is wrong. it must be, it contradicts your religion. science operates in the opposite direction. you take the evidence first, then build an understanding that explains the evidence you know. such understanding is usually called a theory. when new information comes to light, the theory can be compared to the new evidence. theory is kept if it remains consistent with new information and updated or discarded if it contradicts evidence. science looks at the world first and builds understanding from it. faith is opposite, it looks at its doctrine first, and tries to build the world around it. it is the opposite of logic. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Faith and logic are mutually exclusive. Faith exisits beyond reason. That is why it's called faith. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| I read it and replied to it. You presented nothing of any real value. You presented a bad link and a couple of blogs. That's right about equal to nothing. Quote:

| in other words, fxashun has nothing to add, just repeating his same old/same old "it's f'ed up" line. *yawwwwwwn* *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

People can decide on their own whether they want to read what I wrote, they don't need some little man with hurt feelings coming around peeking out from his quilt of denial yelling empty words.. Last edited by fxashun; 04-17-2008 at 10:24 AM. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| a) and they can decide whether or not to read what I wrote ![]() b) hurt feelings? you confuse being hurt by you with loathing you ![]() c) yelling? I'm only writing. And I will continue to point out the idiocy of somebody who uses the "it's icky" line of debate...and then pretends that it has anything to do with anything. ![]() d) for somebody as patently offensive and insulting as you are, you can certainly get self-righteous and arrogant. What a shame you have nothing to back it up with. ![]() *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.
