Since when does the church recognize reason? Whenever I try and talk "reasonably" with someone who is a follower of organized/revealed religion, the person with whom I'm conversing inevitably falls back on the "faith" argument.
Yup, that's inevitable, given that what the Bible describes just doesn't happen in real life.
Neither do the events described in the creation myths of "indigenous pipples," but I have yet to hear of any scientist or liberal politician say so.
Indigenous peoples? Anyway, intellectual dishonesty is no stranger to humanity.
