Scary word, theory. You might want to attempt to understand it in a scientific context. The science of life is far from settled, and as we explore beyond our traditional biosphere the situation will only grow more complex. But using supernatural explanations to avoid the stark reality of existence is just plain silly.

Define your terms such as "stark reality of existence".

Demonstrate how those on this thread, with whom you disagree, are avoiding it; and then describe who they are using supernatural explanations to avoid said "stark reality".

You're talking like a homosexual activist or AGW proponent.

Using ad hominem strawmen to attack one's ideological opponents, while presenting oneself as an apostle of logical thought and empiricism, is worse than silly.

Cheers!

You don't think that we consider the science? We do! However, we don't buy into something that can't be proven simply because it's plausible.

We do however accept by faith, that there is a Higher power, or Grand designer, because the miraculous evidence that is all around us stands as a stark reminder that there is far more to understanding creation, than we will ever grasp by our finite minds.

And don't bother telling me that Science doesn't change due to new discoveries.

The simple fact that Eisenstein changed our understanding of "Gravity" with his theory of Special relativity, has still got the scientific community in a state of confusion!

For those who profess to know so much, they can't even get a definitive handle on something that has been studied for better than 400 years.

And you dare say that science contains all the answers? All science does is raise more questions for us to wonder and postulate over!

But then, that is exactly why I like science. I just don't happen to believe that scientist are equal to or smarter than GOD. But then again, I don't think they are any smarter than myself either.
