Evoultion is based on evidence but the bible contains not one scrap of evidence.
It's based on bronze age myths from primitive people who
knew nothing of dinosaurs or other galaxys -
they hardly knew even .00000001% of what we know now.

Bobby .. evolution is just a theory .. a man made construct. And just like all man made constructs .. this construct has its issues and limitations.

As a scientist .. you ought to know that.

True Lisa - but the limitations of the theory of evolution are
far less than a book full of bronze age myths.

A theory that is back up by mountains of evidence unlike the theory of God which is only backed by some old book full of bronze aged myths Sad

And don't tell me that your faith is a substitute for evidence Cheesy

LOL

Well, I'm glad that's settled: there's no need for humanity to engage in any further discussions of human constructs such as spirituality or science - since all constructs have infinite issues and limitations!?

Case closed!?

End of!?

Lamenting the shift in the Australian psyche, away from the egalitarian ideal of the fair-go - and the rise of short-sighted pollies, who worship the 'Growth Fairy' and seek to divide and conquer!

That's just your opinion and you're entitled to it Bobby. I happen to disagree with it. And I still respect you as a scientist even though many other scientists would also disagree with you.

Hi Lisa,
We can disagree & be mature enough to still be friends can't we?

So do you believe as the bible describes that the Universe is only 6000 years old and the earth is the center of the Universe ??

Absolutely! The great thing about having these sorts of discussions with genuine people like you Bobby is that no matter what the outcome .. we always walk away as friends respecting each other's different viewpoint/s.

That isn't what the Bible says at all (although certain man formed religions may state this).

Perhaps that is why I originally stated in here that evolution and religion are compatible in that they are man made constructs.

As regards religion and evolution .. both are compatible in the sense that they are man made constructs.

Religion is probably a consequence of evolution.
