You really need to understand the word "freedom" because it also applies to thought. Feel free to start thinking.




Theories? So you think theres a hole in the theory of gravity?
I can't understand why the vast majority of science accepts the basics of biological evolution just as sound as gravity, relativitly, etc. but just because this doesn't agree with a story in the bible it isn't sound science.
Mind you I am a practicing catholic, democrat btw (who's going to hell for voting for Kerry lol).
If you want to beleive that creationism is the real deal then fine go ahead, that's fine, go teach your kids at home (or a parachial school that doesn't teach evolution) and we'll be fine.




The reason these concepts are called theories is because they are unprovable by the true scientific method, ie observation. Theories come about as a method to explain a given set of facts/data based on a set of presuppositions made by the originator of the particular theory.

That being said, there are creationists out there that do not sit by blindly and ignore scientific evidence. They see the same evidence as everyone else, but they simply have a different set of presuppositions on which thier theory of origins is based; ie that there is a God, and he is powerful enough to create life. True evolutionists do the exact same thing, only thier presuppositions are based (intentionally or not) on the tenets of humanism (google up the human manifesto)

The various theories of Origins are completely and totally unprovable until someone invents a time machine and goes back and observes how it occurred. The various theories of origins, evolution and creation specifically here, are actually relatively obvious conclusions once you understand the presuppositions that drive them.
