Each side of the argument ends up pissing in the wind. Neither Side wants to give one inch.... Personally it is not important how we got here, it what we do while we are here that matters.
Although I grew up in a Christian Household, I see religion as a way to control the masses through fear. |
It may be the most "enlightened" and that is debatable but intelligent? Hardly. If you are talking about absolute-beyond-a-shadow-of-a-doubt-no-way-in-hell-we-could-be-wrong-proof, then yeah - NOTHING can be proven under those conditions. But to avoid that absurd situation (absurd relative to understanding the world around us), we have to be comfortable with error margins. Within error margins, evolution through natural selection is a theory substantiated with proof. You are free to disagree but to pretend like there is another side to evolution that is equally valid, scientifically speaking, is simply not true.
For my part, you are right - i won't budge in inch from the above until substantial evidence dissuades me from it. Why would or should I?
