I support the noble and useful bits [of science]....and ignore the conjecture and assumptions substituted for facts.
No. You ignore all science except that which contradicts your faith-based beliefs, which you try to defend by mischaracterizing science as you have done here again. It is your religious beliefs that are all conjecture and assumption, with not a lick of evidence in support of any of it. Science has the evidentiary support to assert with confidence that its scientific theories are correct in the main. They work, They can be used to predict outcomes, unlike anything in your scriptures. The sine qua non of a correct idea is that it can be used in that way, and the evidence that an idea is wrong is that it cannot be used for anything constructive.
Evolution is a fact, not a conjecture. There is an accompanying theory that unifies mountains of data from a multitude of sources, accurately makes predictions about what can and cannot be found in nature, provides a rational mechanism for evolution consistent with the known actions of nature, accounts for both the commonality of all life as well as biodiversity, and has had practical applications that have improved the human condition in areas like medicine and agriculture. That's how we know that is is correct. Religious people dismissing all of that with a wave of the hand to defend their erroneous contradictory beliefs have no impact on the scientific and academic communities.
Contrast that with sterile ideas that can be used for nothing, such as creationism and astrology. Both are faith-based systems of thought founded on what we can say are wrong ideas based on their inability to predict or explain anything about reality. I shouldn't have to tell you that that is the sine qua non of a wrong idea, but I don't think that such things factor into your decision-making process, which is uninterested in evidence in determining what is true about the world.
I've asked you several times in the past why you think that anybody would trade in a theory that works for a religious belief that was useless, and you evade the question every time. I ask you again so that you can once again hide from the question, which, of course, is a tacit answer - there is no reason to do that. It would be foolish.
I use knowledge to educate people about the fact that science doesn't always present proven facts,
You have no knowledge of science. You just have religious indoctrination that demeans it, which you are happy to serve as a vector disseminating your church's self-serving untruths.
Knowledge is the collection of useful ideas. Your teaching is destructive. And you attempt to indoctrinate others by merely repeated unevidenced assertions in the hope of drawing them away from reason and evidence based thought into your nihilistic, anti-intellectual world of wrong guesses.
Education is completely different from that. With education, one is shown evidence and the arguments that the best thinkers have generated defending their conclusions. This is offered so that one can come to these same conclusions if they are justified by the presented evidence and arguments, and also as training in critical thinking. Unlike Sunday school, where indoctrination occurs instead of education ("Jesus loves me this I know.."), you won't be asked whether you believe these conclusions - just whether you learned what evidence has been offered and what conclusions arrived at. This is a proud and productive tradition. Indoctrination is for preachers (which include religious apologists), advertisers, and propagandists.
In promoting half-baked ideas as scientific facts, scientists use knowledge poorly IMO.
Science works, Religion is useless except to offer comfort to those who find it there.
The gullible swallow everything they are told, no matter how far fetched it is.....because it is "science"
You are the gullible one. You believe without evidence.
How is that not the same as putting faith in a 'religion'?
No faith is required to know that the science is largely correct. You know that as well deep down, which is why you are using your computer to communicate with people on the other side of the world, all based in scientific discovery and application. This is your tacit admission that you know that your claims that trusting in that is justified by evidence, not faith, and is thus not religion. You know that, but propagate your religious meme about science having no firmer foundation than your religious beliefs anyway.
Have you sensed yet that people consider that immoral and irresponsible? Not the effect you were hoping for, I suspect.
If scientists could just figure out how life just "poofed" itself into existence by "natural" means one day, for no apparent reason, they would be sticking it to creationist like there was no tomorrow.
Nah. You can't reach those people with evidence. They pretend that they are responsive to it as you are now - as if you would be the least fazed by any scientific discovery - but in fact, they go on believing as before, because evidence can not move a person who didn't arrive at their present position by evaluating evidence, and can't be budged from it by any evidence. Faith closes the mind. If you cannot be shown that you are wrong when you are because you are impervious to the evidence that demonstrates that fact, then your mind is closed. You cannot be reached.
"what if there is no tomorrow" for those who make God redundant in his own creation?
This is the latest version of Pascal's wager. What if we're wrong?
As Dawkins famously answered the Christian who asked him the same question, what if you're wrong? What if there actually are gods and an afterlife, but not the ones you imagined - gods not representing the values you were taught that a god would hold and reward you for, but gods with a more enlightened view that value reason over blind belief? You're gambling that there will be a god that will not chastise you for your choices. If there is an afterlife and we encounter gods more aligned to our best ideas than our worst, you might have some 'splainin' to do.
But worry not. I'll be there to put in a good word for you. We'll blame your religion. How were you to know that they were misleading you and making you dependent on them as the only way to achieve paradise just to fill their collection plates?
My perspective is just fine....I am just not wearing the rose colored glasses that the 'Blind Freddy's' seem to have on.
You are fitted with a confirmation bias that allows you to see only what supports your beliefs. It's why you see nothing good about humanity or human society, and why you malign science. You've accepted that man is bad and science is just assumptions and speculation in the face of overwhelming evidence that there is good in humanity, human beings have accomplished amazing things, science makes life better (which is the evidence that its foundational principles and methods are sound), and that life has never been better for so many ever before. Your confirmation bias consistently filters these things out for you.
