The person in fact BELIEVES w/o proof that there is no GOD. Blind faith. Sounds like religion to me. << Darwinism is not either... it is a scientific viewpoint. And science is NOT a religion. >> OK, snailchaser, Science is a system of faith just like religion. You read in your textbooks things that you just assume is TRUTH. True that a certain amount of empirical evidence can be personally observed. But hey have you ever seen an atom? I'm sure you believe they exist, right? Why do you believe that? Isn't that faith? Even looking at it through an electron microscope, you are actually BELIEVING that what you are looking at is an actual image and not a a phenomenon created by the equipment. Whatever, whatever, whatever.... I was raised Catholic that's why I believe in Science. Worship ME. I am dog!!!!!!!!!!! BTW folks, the original Friday follies was supposed to still have some sort of connection to Vanagons. (RVC) Here I go walking behind Andrew while he is doing his field work <crunch> <crunch> <crunch> uhhhh 'my bad? BenT |
