As this is the forum I spend 95% of my time in.....
I'm taking a break away from the forum.
Behave, you lot.

| One example of faith vs skepticism is the age of the earth. Under the faith regime, one man went to the trouble of adding up the generations mentioned in the Bible and came up with a 6,000 year old earth. Faith and arithmetic. It's a "no skeptics allowed" area. Conversely, science looked a... |

| Seriously, there are only maybe 2 true scientists on this forum. The rest of us do the best we can with what we know and the journey we've made. Only a true brain surgeon can tell you ALL of the ins and outs of brain surgery. In the same way, there are few if any true theologians here. I studied th... |

| I look back nostalgically at the first half of the 20th century. Things were simpler, crime was not so in your face, people would leave their doors unlocked, romance was sweet and innocent, girls were girly and men were manly, cars didn't have computers, a family could live off one income, crass com... |

| Never trust a scientist and never trust the scientific method. Be sceptical and ask questions. Faith expects trust, not doubt. Science expects doubt, not trust. You want us to be skeptical of science, but to you also want us to accept your evidence of God without skepticism. Science expects us to b... |

| The main difference between science method and faith is the word doubt . Faith generally looks to find ways to support itself. Doubt is often considered anti-faith. Science will always side with doubt. Everything science "believes in" has only survived after a many trials of doubt tests. W... |

| Then my problem is with people who think the scientific method isn't flawed in any way, and the fact that they are thereby hypocritical to say the bible is flawed, there fore we shouldn't believe a word it says. It's over 5000 years old at least, of course its claims are exaggerated, and some of it... |

Umm just for us non-americans, could you, like, explain things like SAE in future. From your post, I interpreted it as a fraternity thing, so I Googled SAE fraternity and got the answer. So, if you're worried about excluding black people, what about excluding the rest of the world too?  |
