When new evidence appears, due to better understanding of how the world works, or because we have new equipment that can measure things earlier generations couldn't, then scientists revise or correct the theories/models in light of the new evidence. What didn't work so well before, but was the best that was understood at the time, is now revised in favor of the better evidence.<BR/><BR/>Religion, however, resists this. Even if new evidence appears, religion holds onto the old theories/models <I>in spite of</I> all evidence or facts to the contrary. In fact, religious systems fight like hell (so to speak) to <I>resist</I> the new evidence or newly-discovered facts, even if to do so makes absolutely no logical sense whatsoever.<BR/><BR/>It's not that scientists just change things on a whim like clothing fasions, but that theories and working models are tested and retested, evidence is presented and examined, and theories and models are updated in light of new evidence or facts that come forth.AmberKatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18288659650941053065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736821.post-81365628974540433362007-05-10T14:05:00.000-07:002007-05-10T14:05:00.000-07:001.)

Just remember that Ray's presentation does not lessen any fact.<BR/><BR/>3.)I did find it interesting that one of Kelly's high points was when she proudly proclaimed that science (unlike religion) is always changing. All that tells me is that your side doesn't know anything either. Why should I believe the explanation that science gives today for anything if it will change it's mind tomorrow.<BR/>Is my science book from 40 yrs ago (high school) good for anything today besides a door stop? Is the periodic table set forever?<BR/><BR/>Since science is so smart, why do they differ on global warming?<BR/><BR/>http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4499562022478442170&q=global+warmingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736821.post-8338115498369742952007-05-10T12:46:00.000-07:002007-05-10T12:46:00.000-07:00drat.

Was it the woman with the question about Cancer, who was visibly frustrated when Ray missed her point, twice??<BR/><BR/>Personally, I'm very comforted to know that we have cancer due to original sin. In other words, cancer is Eve's fault.Calladushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17620879847877868166noreply@blogger.com
