Evidence for ID and creationTruth
You are right, majority consensus does not necessarily equate to truth. Just as a mess of christians claiming the bible is the truth does not make it so. Difference here is that the majority in science will rethink and put forth another answer should the evidence not support current theory. In the case of christians, they will stick to 5000 year old explanations no matter what. True enough, however this is history. Majority acceptance within each field has and does change based on the current best explanation of facts. Even a casual perusal of the bible reveals glaring errors which are contrary to reality, and yet christians refuse to accept 5000 years of mounting evidence against the word of god as laid out in that book. Truth is not determined by a bunch of guys who wrote about the understandings of the world 5000 years ago. It is determined by reality. By actual data, not faith. There is no data to support faith regardless of what the majority of christians would like to think. "Christian Truth:" The earth is <10,000 years old. Data points toward: Not supported at all. "Christian Truth:" Creation by Intelligent Design is a fact and has been proven. Data points toward: There is no data which supports Intelligent Design, genetically, archeologically, cosmologically, mathematically, chemically, biologically, etc, etc, etc. "Christian Truth:" Don’t really know the christian view on this on Data points toward: Very possibly the opposite of the christian view Agreed, any christians out there ready to question the word of god and start thinking for yourselves? It is less a matter of looking for the truth, but rather a case of looking for reality. |
