    Ok, if our agreement on this is absolutely essential to the discussion going forward, then I'm afraid we don't have it. I do, though, understand the objections to allowing religion into science - but i just don't agree that the objections are reason enough to exclude it. The distinction between...

    I don't agree with this. but as I said I'm happy to continue with our differences acknowledged. Nevertheless, here's why: It's hard to use an illustration that can't be straw-manned - but please at least try to see my point of view. If I choose to make something, I may do so by a round the...

    Gabe, thank you. If I can clearly see from your evidence that my current understanding is in error then yes I will do my best. I did read this in your previous post, which you probably saw, and I'm sorry if my response failed to take your reasons for saying what you said into account.

    As fairly as I can. We all have bias, and I'm not immuned to that - but you have my word that I genuinel want to see what evidence there is No, I have no interest in gravity in so far as it will have no impact on the life-decisions I want to make. Same is true for round world theory or Last 10...

    I didn't see this one either We'll have to leave that there - because it doesn't matter to me that that's how you or any other human equal to both of us feel science should be defined. But, yes, I can live with our differences. That won't be necessary. I'm clear that may be true with certain...

    Fine, I didn't mean it in the absolute sense. But I guess I mean "This is the main body of evidence" Ok, but in the beginning, it'll be mainly acknowledgements - I don't want to commit to say "Yes guys, You've sold it" until I'm ready to (if, indeed that happens). On that note as well, I may...

    I nearly put you on ignore, because you can be a little rough some times... But no, sorry, I was reading through the threads and I forgot about you question. :sorry1:. Tell me if my nutshell is wrong: That's just a nutshell view, mind you. Feel free to correct, but don't be rude. :(

    Yes, It strong evidence. But in my experience, you can accept powerful evidence too quickly, only to find that there is another, equally convincing side to the story. So... Well, I'll amass as much of the evidence as I can, and this is an excellent start. And when you tell me - "that's about it...

    Look for signatures of intelligence - on this point I believe the ID movement have a point - we do it in other sciences. Personally, I have no objection in principle with their stance that it is scientific to (at least) look for evidence. Nevertheless - I can understand the objections to doing...

    Macro Evolution

    Well so far I've understood (most of) what has been said and I can clearly see what you mean when you say that macro is lots of micro - evolution doesn't know when to stop etc. I understand it. But there are creationists who say that micro cannot equal macro. Now please please please! Resist...

    'they' being creationists? Or those Evolutionists who don't know what it means to answer a question properly? It was a great post, as are the other evidence-based replies on this thread. Like i said at the beginning: i want the empirical evidence - not bullying.

    If there's a god - why isn't it obvious?

    Dunemeister, thank for taking the time. Your answer makes sense within a certain framework. I'd need to consider it more... But you know what? For every good answer that's offered (good that is, in that it tries understand the question) there's one that's arrogant or infantile, and i'm...

    Why does God allow suffering?

    Suffering can appear very sanitised on TV adverts with nice Kate Bush music on in the background and a dramatic tear on a dirty child’s face. But suffering can be seriously nasty – people who are racked by pain while cancer eats their bodies; children who are raped repeatedly and kept in...

    Christians only; The Devil

    If there is a devil, how did he come to be? What is his mission?
