i find that todays conlfict with the origin of life is not between creationism and evolution, it's between two different versions of evolution. |
I'd be interested to see what your information on darwinism is, there's a lot of misinterpretation of what evolution is about. I mean, there's debate w/in the scientific community. Some facets of it, like that life evolvs towards perfection, were disproven a couple hundred years ago and other parts of the theory have most likely been adapted to fit new information.
Let me know if your up for a discussion on that sometime. Darwin had some great ideas, as did Mendal, and Newton, all of whom made theories that led to great advances in the way we understand our world.
They did however have limited rescources compared to now and parts of their ideas needed to be modified (e.g. F=MA doesnt work one matter gets turned into energy it's no longer concerted thus einsteins e=mc^2 and mendal didnt know about masking gene expression, and darwin didn't have access to the info we have today). So yeah, i tend to be a scientifically oriented person in that i like to try to figure things out
On the fact that we exist, any scientist that claims they know how the universe started is climbing an M.C. etscher staircase. the big bang is supported by evidence like the red shift, quasars etc, but that's only to help explain how our particular universe came to exist like it does, not where all the matter that was compressed to smaller than a pinhead came from. no one knows.
