I am not anti-science. I just know the difference between religion and science.

You mistake science to be superior to religion, then expect everyone to make the same mistake.

What science ‘knows’ changes over time. What was correct in ‘libraries full of information’ five hundred years ago, for example, is no longer correct today.

My faith is absolute. What is within my Bible does not change. Science has never proven wrong anything in the Bible.

How dare you suggest to me that my religious belief should be backed up by empirical evidence and if it is not then it is wrong?

You insult me to tell me that just a small amount of research in libraries full of information will help me ‘correct’ my ‘incorrect’ beliefs.

You insult me to suggest I have not looked at ‘information in libraries’.

You have some nerve, Ira_Louvin, whoever you are and who asked you anyway? I never asked you for any iota of advice thank-you-very-much! Have you no manners?

Why does what I believe bother you so much that it drives you to attack me so snidely?

No response expected. My questions to you are purely for you own rumination.

I will pray for you.

Religion does not require empirical evidence because it is accepted on faith.

Science is based on empirical evidence and only considers natural explanations.

You made a scientific claim regarding DNA based on biblical interpretation so that would not be considered scientific evidence.

I am not stating that your belief is wrong, just that there is no scientific evidence to support your assertion.

I do not think that science is superior to religion. However many people here distort scientific evidence to support their religious beliefs.

It is too difficult for me to understand, so that proves that God did it is not and never will be scientific evidence

As long as you are praying for me please add a prayer that my custody battle prevails and my Son is not living 250 miles away from me.
