The problem with the religion forum is that all statements seem to have equal claim to veracity, so long as they are based in faith.

I don't normally frequent the religion forum, so I really don't know if your comment is accurate or not, but if it is, I'd have problems with such an approach as well. Clearly, truth is not created by personal perspective. I believe truth is objective, and in many or most cases we are able to arrive at it (not that we all recognize or agree on it, of course).

Because science is based on a philosophy – methodological naturalism – it shall not enjoy a special status on the Religion Forum as compared to other things likewise based on a philosophy or theology.

Philosophies and theologies are the foundation for how Freepers and Lurkers approach the question Pilate asked “What is Truth?” - a primary issue on this forum.
