Only old ladies and homosexual men name their cat's Acacia (by the way, Dog Cat's name is Harding, and if you knew him, you'd know that name absolutely fits him to a T). <br><br> Anyway, yes. There is room in religion for science, and there is a room in science for religion. However, there are limits, and those limits should not be crossed by either side. They are not flexible, arbitrary lines. Scientists should not cast aside their basic human morality in pursuit of a suitable end to his or her research. And, religion should not cast aside the glaring reality of a better defined world so as to protect something so simple as the Bible. Faith in ignorance is one of the truly troubling aspects of religion, though. Why someone would choose that is beyond me, but I do respect their right to do so. <br><br>Thanks for the comment, <br>DanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531201648836468896.post-15133244671728765522006-10-12T20:54:00.000-07:002006-10-12T20:54:00.000-07:00Actually, while there may be room in religion for ...Actually, while there may be room in religion for science, there isn't room in science for religion. Religion represents the exact opposite mindset of science. Science is about only believing those things that can be demonstrated to be real. Religion is about believing things despite the fact that they cannot be demonstrated to be real.<br>-Paul<br>http://journals.aol.ca/plittle/AuroraWalkingVacation/<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531201648836468896.post-40668936659493313882006-10-12T22:55:00.000-07:002006-10-12T22:55:00.000-07:00As for this issue, ignorance is never the right ro...As for this issue, ignorance is never the right route for anyone of any faith, but neither is it the place of any scientist to make claims that cannot be validated.

It simply seeks to discover how we came to be what we are today, and perhaps give us a glimpse into what we may become. Creationism is simply the willful acceptance that everything is what it is, and that's all we need to know. I'm sorry, but the very foundations of creationism are based in ignorance. <br><br> Personally, I'm a big fan of evolution. If nothing else, it demonstrates the resiliance of man and the tenacity with which we grasp life by showing our ability to adapt and change when it comes to our own survival. <br><br>-DanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531201648836468896.post-35308411529519608742006-10-13T11:26:00.000-07:002006-10-13T11:26:00.000-07:00It's been far too long since I've visited here!

That fact does not invalidate, or even vaguely refute my statement. Dan's comment is well phrased. It is possible for a scientist to have a religious faith. However, the moment his faith begins to get in the way of his results, he deserves every bit of derision and ridicule his peers can heap upon him.<br> I stand by my original statement. The absolute most basic tenets of religion are anathema to science. The two disciplines espouse exactly opposite creeds.<br>-Paul<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531201648836468896.post-46428599593734862772006-10-15T20:31:00.000-07:002006-10-15T20:31:00.000-07:00Well alrighty then.Barb Well alrighty then.<br>Barb Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
