That is the strength -- and the beauty -- of science.

And that is the weakness -- in fact, the fatal flaw -- of creationism.

So what's the weakness of science? And what's the strength of creationism? Or of the Bible?

While the insults and posts devoid of meaningful content fly ("I'm a better man than you, because I know that 500 years ago there were no computer chips, and you stupid creationist don't!"), the weakness (ours this time) is seeking wisdom in science and mathematical proof in the Bible. To me this is a philosophical debate. Whether creationism is science is a silly question, since we have long stopped questioning whether political science, ethnic studies, wymyns studies, Margared Mead's "discoveries", the Kinsey Report are science. Why, they give away Ph.Ds in Business Administration and Government Studies. Who's kidding who?!

The weakness of science -- that's a good question for discussion. Human error, perhaps.

The strength of creationism? None that I can think of.

The Bible? In terms of this discussion -- none. I do believe the Bible has strengths -- but they do not apply to this issue.

The rest of your post sort of lost me. I got a headache trying to make sense of what looks like gibberish. Maybe it was just a rant, but I ain't smart enough to decipher it.
