It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui. ~Helen Keller "On the Science of Loving" or was it the "Art of Loving" ? or was it the "Philosophy of Loving "? Or "Religion of Loving" ? perhaps all four? Science . Art , Philosphy , and Religion are all parts of the same elephant, they are not separate Greg. ( And expressions of the mind & soul, in each you find the reflection of the other. ) ;) PS: The Greeks knew the world was round , even if their God Jehova forgot to mention it .

"you reject out of hand the possibility that Jesus Christ rose from the dead." I consider it no more likely than any other myth from ancient days. Why should we believe stories just because they were part of our cultural and family beliefs, while rejecting others? You reject the Greek family tree of Gods--Gods whom were fervently WORSHIPPED. Why? hol.gr "It's not surprising that the Diaz essay begins by ascribing the worst of motives to religious viewpoints while flattering himself as the noble seeker of truth that is completely objective" Your wild accusations do nothing for your case... "That would be a hoot if it were not so telling of the complete lack of intellectual honesty on the part of evolutionists" These gratuitous and patently ridiculous insults do not compliment you, nor do they lend credibility to whatever positions you may hold. "That used to be called spontaneous generation didn't it? Pasture disproved that hundreds of years ago. Why would one believe such a discredited theory; because "life evolved, so evolution is a fact"" How it is called has not changed. There was an Aristotelian concept of SG which considered that complex organisms could originate from matter. This was an idea halfway between superstition and science. It is a certainty that complex life developed from simple life, and this is well documented in the fossil and genetic record. It is nearly a certainty that simple life developed from matter and this is the current opinion. Certainly, the capability of life to generate either locally or through space debris is beyond doubt. The actual process that DID occur is still conjectural--but what an exciting century lies ahead! "That's why Modern science is not modern and why it is not science" You have said nothing to explain this silliness. Modern science is modern science whether it is good, bad, or indifferent. It cannot be otherwise.
