..Do not be so naive as to think that because you believe something is false (or worse arrogantly assume to know the will of God) that it must be.

The "Will of God" is easy to know, if you believe the Scriptures. There is no arrogance in exposing Truth.

Science is speculation. It assumes, then goes on a course of "proving" it. Many segments of "science" are reliable. Evolution has yet to be among those.

I do speak to my point, since all the hope of mankind is in that faith. If I believe Jesus lived, died, and was resurrected, as recorded in those Scriptures, then I must share His message.

At 62, I am hardly naive, but thanks for the message. I get it. Evolutionary Science is an exclusive club, and if you don't believe, you're an apostate, or heretic...

Your faith is more difficult to believe!

I’m sorry but what does your age have to do with naivity?

By saying that you know the will of God you are presuming that no other interpretation of scripture can be correct. That is astonishing. If only I were so wise I wouldn’t have to attend services twice each week.

You do not seem to understand that the scientific method is based on the null hypothesis. The primary assumption in experimentation is that a theory is false. If the null hypothesis is invalidated by experimentation then the next question is asked, again with null as the primary result. This proceeds forwards step wise until the acceptance of the null or the failure to accept null. A theory is a process by which a subject may be understood and tested and only when there is a failure to prove null does it evolve into law (gravity, thermodynamics, et al).

Religion does not suffer such tests and cannot be considered a scientific pursuit in biology. To think tht it can is again - naive.
