To: little jeremiah

I do not have “faith only in science”. I am a man of faith and my faith is in God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

I do have confidence in the scientific method. And I do not scorn all other methods of knowing truth. Science doesn’t lead to TRUTH, it leads to an accurate model with predictable results.

The model of an atom may or may not be “true”, but it IS useful. And thus the model persists until scientists find a more useful model.

It was you who scorned a methodology that allows people to live in a non-primitive fashion and gains them useful and predictive knowledge of the physical world we inhabit as “primitive” and “ignorant”. I am sorry if I was harsh or conceited in striking down such a preposterous notion.

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art.
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

I am wondering why you quoted William Blake, who I don’t think would see eye to eye with you very much.

I do not scorn all science as useless, talking about straw men.

You are slithery and not an honest debater.

You're really stretching your credibility with that statement considering that you make science the measure of all things, and that with which you measure the Bible by.

When you reject the Word of God and adjust and manipulate it to fit your evolutionary worldview, you ARE putting your faith in science and putting it over your faith in God.

You are trusting that science is capable of giving you a more correct and accurate picture or account of what happened in the past than what God told us in His Word. That is choosing the god you want to follow.

You certainly do scorn all other methods of knowing truth. Your pejoratives against anyone who rejects current scientific consensus demonstrates that beyond any doubt. Your posting history on crevo threads, and other threads for that matter, bears it out.
