Steve,
When I checked things out, I did much more than just watch T.V.
I became familiar with numerous "beliefs" of Biblical Creationism out there. Ther`re all perfectly OK with me, as long as these "beliefs" are not taught as science, or attack science with invalid arguments. Dishonesty for the gain of religion is a serious sin to me.
It is enlightening to hear your "Most solid info is in Bible...not a TV set." A scientific theory does not use a Holy book for support, it uses empirical evidence.
I am well aware of the Gap/Replenishment theories. The logic used is very similar to the following Steven Wright joke:
Last Saturday, I woke up and found that all my personal possessions had been stolen and replaced with exact duplicates.
I've seen lots of books. They almost always have the following deceptive arguments:
* Evolution violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
* Evolution is only a theory; it hasn't been proved, it can't be falsified.
* Evolution has never been observed.
* There are no transitional fossils.
* The theory of evolution says that life originated, and evolution proceeds, by random chance.
When books contain the above quackery, I have zero credibility for their "emmmense amount of study out there". |
