The Return Of The God Hypothesis.
181 Answers
If science puts up barriers and refuses to follow truth wherever it leads, then it is left floundering for answers to the big questions, on the creation of the universe, the creation of life from inert chemicals, and the impossibility of Darwin's theory of a sing!e cell ancestor.
Do you consider yourself open minded about such matters and not constricted by a naturalistic worldview?

Theland - // Andy, for somebody who has no interest and nothing to say, you say an awful lot. // I never said I had no interest, I said I didn't care in looking for 'answers' which is not the same thing. Nothing to say? Are you serious?????

That's why we depend on scientists to share their expertise with us, the great unwashed.
But, look how the scientific academic authorities treat those who do not tow the part line. What are they afraid of? Truth?

Theland, I'm sorry but your 'let's look at something I've tracked down on youtube' is never going to convince me of anything. It's easy enough to cherrypick - you've done it often enough. You may feel this is enough to back your preconceptions and assertions - I don't think the scientific community, as a whole, would agree.
Theland - I dropped into the next in your interminable line of YouTube posts that you find from I don't know or care where, and I find some scientist trying to mix chemicals in a lab to 'jump-start' life and failing.
That's akin to throwing a salmon fillet into a river and being disappointed when it doesn't swim off to spawn.
You really are going to have to do better to obtain, never mind sustain, the interest of people you are constantly trying to win around to your point of view.

Mozz - // Let me rephrase it then Andy.
"I don't care enough to discuss the complexities of science with you." //
Why would you bother even thinking about discussing it with me? I'd rather roll on broken glass!
I have much better things to do with my time than discuss the science of evolution - like putting the things in my fridge in alphabetical order …

"no science asks for unquestioning acceptance"
As typed, that is correct, there is no science that asks for unquestioning acceptence. That is the very antithesis of what science does. However it also doesn't flit from one view to another and back on whim; convince one's peers with evidence and then the scientific understanding changes. Just claiming something seems right without back-up doesn't convince.

Theland - // I am prepared to watch YouTube videos of scientific lectures of your choosing that takes me forward to truth. //
If anyone had found 'truth', you wouldn't need to be constantly trawling the net to find clips to show people, you could sit back and watch it on the news for the next year or so.

It does if you have faith, in fact it's the virtual definition of faith - but of course, faith doesn't have proof, that's why it's simply belief.
I have no problem with that - just with people who think their faith has to be right, and who bang on incessantly about needing proof from 'science' when clearly there is none to be had.

Theland. I really do think that you should stay with what you believe in. If you keep posting here, I suspect that you have 'doubts'. I do respect 'doubts', after all, science is based on doubts. I see you as a soul seeking certainty, and certainty is not available from science. You could of course accept that you have 'doubts' and yield yourself to the unknown. That takes courage, but if your original faith is correct then you will be ok; if not then you'll still be ok.
