Why You Can't Say That I'm One Sided
July 2nd 2009 16:19
When I write about things and people disagree, they may say that I'm one-sided because I don't see it their way...or the way of the majority. I tend to deviate from the norm and am able to come to conclusions based on years of experience and study. In my lifetime, I have seen science change and come up with new versions of the same situations. I have studied the Bible, and known people's various interpretations of it. Like anything else you can twist the Bible and/or science to suit your argument. This basically goes for all beliefs including politics. Anybody can prove anything wrong if they try hard enough.
Here is a place where paleontology meet. What's my conclusion using both science and religion? The earth is older than 6000 years old, so Creationism, in this case, is wrong. If this is the conclusion these fundamentalists are using, they might as well just go back to their churches. It should be a Creation and Science belief that if God or nature does not give you a specific number, you can only 'guess' but more than likely you'll be wrong.
Most people can't fathom large numbers and they are used more to confuse one's knowledge.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and the earth was without form and void...
That is Genesis 1:1-2. When the earth was without form and void, this could have been a span of one thousand or ten million years for all we know. During this time you could have had dinosaurs and the rest of the science that goes with it. Sure this is just my theory and it can be a crock. People who really are the narrow-minded ones are those who think they know that they are right.
Science has its place as does religion. Sometimes you have to render to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's. And if your like me, at some point you have to do your own research and find things that books don't tell you about. I disagree that Creationism should be offered in schools like science. Schools belong to Caesar.
Science and Religion can co-exist but will hardly ever agree. The key is to draw your own conclusions and to just respect the opinions of others.
