The basis of scientific method is the elimination of bias.

You seem to not accept that fact, therefore you argue from a world view that excludes you from the scientific community.

It’s fine with me if you want to interpret the natural world, made by God, according to your biases.

But, there exists a worldwide community of scientists who are dedicated to discovering the true nature of the universe we live in. Even you are a recipient of benefits made possible because of that dedication.

I stand by my statement that science is dispassionate. Good science never attempts to mould the world into a preconceived view. That’s what creationists do to science. That’s why creation science is not good science. It comes at the process of finding truth with a preconceived notion of what truth ought to be, not with a mind open to whatever the truth will be.

When science proved that the solar system was not geocentric the Catholic church changed it’s dogma. That was a pretty smart thing to do, otherwise the Church would have had to maintain a position based in ignorance of the truth. That change did not undermine the fundamental belief system within the Church which is salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.

Maintaining a position against science does not improve on the fundamental message of Christianity. And looking to the Bible for scientific information does not improve the fundamental knowledge we have of the universe.

You claim to be totally “scientific”, and totally objective; but all of you evos have already rejected the possibility of design, before the facts have been presented, and want to shut down anyone who wants to present the real facts - i.e. irreducible complexity and others contrary to darwin. I know some who believe in ID, do so for religious reasons, but ALL evos believe in darwinism for religious reasons - don’t kid yourself.
