More faith in the scientific method than God's revelation

@grog

With such a lack of time, I only have the ability to read scientific conclusions and these conclusions will indefinitely be skewed by preconceptions. That is fair.

So how can you have an informed perspective that allows you to ironically claim a lack of humility among the scientists and more importantly, that they are wrong?

I have seen the research that attempts to validate evolution as well as billions w wand I just don’t buy it.

Greg,

There’s a huge difference between saying that you’ve “seen the research” and your more recent admission that you only have time to read the conclusions, isn’t there?

(and honestly too much reading on these topics considering that I should be focusing my time on running a business, supporting my family and loving my wife and children)

Agreeing with you here: I’m in the same boat, just on the other side. If you told me I had to read something YEC in order to be a fair-minded person, I’d say, sorry bud, life’s too short. So despite all my whining about it, I can actually respect this from this perspective. Just wanted to acknowledge that before moving on.

@grog

I refuse to side with biologos who just seem to side with their ideas on the basics of our beginnings and place some god lipstick onto the concept (maybe for the sake of drawing folks into Christianity -I don’t know)

So if you don’t know, why not ask? Why assume? I’m sure you know what assuming does.

Because it might not be because of drawing folks into Christianity. It might just be because of the overwhelming evidence. You never know. Not a bad idea to be open to the possibility, and maybe to ask some folks and try to call their bluff.
