[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mucus: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [i]And evolution has been observed.[/i] You MIGHT make an argument that speciation has been observed, for very loose definitions of "species", but that's hardly the same as observing that humanity itself evolved all the way from bacteria. [i]no Gods have ever been observed. Neither have the effects of any Gods.[/i] Nor did I claim they had. However, I can create a fine logical framework indicating that they must exist given certain basic assumptions. Which was the point of what I said. [/QUOTE]Well, all of this is rather besides the point. Science is a gradual process. Thats why they still call evolution a "theory." If someone came along with substantial independently verifiable proof that it was wrong, scientists would switch. No burnings at the stake needed, no crucifications, no excommunications. Galileo did not have the same luxury. That leads us to the second problem, at least for the three major religions of the "Book." No matter how archaic, how out of date, how plain wrong the Bible is, it cannot be changed. That conviction of belief is what leads people to start wars, strip people of their rights, or blow themselves up in the Gaza strip. People never flew planes into buildings because of evolution. People fly planes into buildings because of organised religion and "the good book." [/QB][/QUOTE]
