God's motto is "I AM" not "I EVOLVE". You want that, go to Hinduism.

Cute word play. But irrelevant.

Your post demonstrates perfectly how this is an argument over religious dogma, not science. Some Christian denominations have chosen to again attack science as if it were a competing faith.

They are quickly failing, again, because science is not faith, it is reality.

because science is not faith, it is reality.

Actually, it's a little of both.

Try proving inductive reasoning, what most science is based off of. It's taken on faith that because something worked like x one hundred times, it will work the same the 101st time it is tried.

Science describes systems, i.e. the data shows this system acts like x under these circumstances. A good scientist will never say that the model is all of reality.

All I can say narby to each and every post of yours : YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!

Dittos to everything you said.

As a former anthro student, I was NEVER called upon to abandon my faith. Indeed, one of my archaeology professors had been through seminary to become a priest, and he was in regular attendance to the Massess held at teh Catholic Student Center. He was a grand gentleman and I wish I had had the smarts to get to know him better.
