FAITH that they will succeed!"<br /><br />Yes- I'm a strong supporter of evidence-based faith.<br /><br />I can give you an example where your faith is not evidence-based. I think you believe that Noah's Ark story is really true, either global or local flood. But the evidence is obvious there was no global or local flood that wiped out all humans except those saved on an ark. Tell us about Noah's Ark, and your faith will be shown to be based on total nonsense. This is why theologians avoid the discussion like the plague. <br /><br />RE: From my recent debate:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcQAVd1LJ_8<br /><br />Another clip:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGOxnb2JF50Bernie Dehlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03919318328504104290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805190.post-44706744511212206182014-05-05T13:52:07.475-07:002014-05-05T13:52:07.475-07:00RE: "Scientists are not immune to bias, decei...RE: "Scientists are not immune to bias, deceit, greed or the quest for fame and power any more than the rest of us."<br /><br />Actually, there are some mechanisms in the scientific method and thinking to rule out subjectivity (such as double-blind testing) and presuppositional bias (confirmation bias). These are serious problems that theologians have, and rather than root them out, they think it is some sort of badge of honor to instead have faith in the face of conflicting evidence.Bernie Dehlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03919318328504104290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805190.post-75750528267225784232014-05-05T13:50:55.988-07:002014-05-05T13:50:55.988-07:00Gee, Bernie. it sounds like they really have some....Gee, Bernie. it sounds like they really have some.. oh, what's the word?..

The whole point of science is to doubt and question, to check and double-check, to investigate and keep searching. This is the opposite of trust and love.<br /><br />If you trust science, then it's not really science. It's your own lazy ignorance. If you're in love with science, then it's not really science. It's the materialistic fruits of other people's science perhaps.John B. Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00234524731241646514noreply@blogger.com
