“lucidity is a great gift when confronted with lies......”

Please explain what the ‘lie’ is exactly. Are you claiming scientists are fabricating evidence such as the fossil record or DNA evidence? Or....?

Alternatively, are you claiming evolution is a ‘lie’ simply because it conflicts with your religious beliefs? If so, I’m afraid that’s a fruitless accusation, since both the scientific method and the evidence of evolution are well documented, and the term ‘lie’ isn’t applicable unless fraud is involved. It is simply the best, simplest scientific theory that explains the observed facts.

Just out of curiosity, do you consider the Church to have ‘lied’ when it instructed the faithful that the Sun revolved around the Earth?

one can be deceived and thus be lying, without doing it on purpose.

history is abound with the the ‘honest’ scientists’ fabricating fake missing links, i.e. using the pig tooth and building an entire non existant missing link that was displayed for years...etc....

but generally speaking, folks like you and those you support, are looking at the exact same evidence, fossil wise, dna wise, astronomy wise, etc....

it is the starting point that differs, we believe in what God said, and look at the evidence thusly.

those in the other camp, start with the premise of ‘nature is all there ever was’ and proceed to interpret the same evidence....

that fact that they are lying, and dont know it, well, that is the problem isnt it?
