One mistake we need to avoid is thinking “the other side” is irrational or “can’t think”.
The problem isn’t the rationality or the logical thinking ability in most cases. Their conclusions are logically reached through reason but they start from the wrong set of initial assumptions.
This applies to both evolutionists and to leftists as well.
Well, considering that in public schools, kids are not taught to think, but rather regurgitate, I’m not so sure that it’s that far off.
It’s something they have to be taught, and yes, they do not realize that they are starting from the wrong premise, but having been taught to think, they would come to that conclusion at some point.
One of my contentions against evolution is that it starts with a bunch of premises who are either accepted because they have always been told that it is so, or because it best supports their theory.
For all how creationists are told that they’re being unscientific for accepting the *Goddidit* paradigm, they are accepting theirs with just as much faith, not because there is hard scientific evidence for any of it. They are starting with a philosophical premise that they don’t even recognize as such and base their science on it. They’re doing the very thing they condemn when it’s done with a premise they disagree with.
