What a brilliant position for a non-scientist to take. Sadly, real
scientists would be shackled by such a ridiculous notion. It must be easy to
be a creationist - set up unrealistic goals for 'them' to meet, knowing that
they will NEVER be met - certainly not in out lifetimes - then sit back and
claim a 'superior' philosophical worldview.
Tell you what Bert - when your anthropomorphic God floats down on a flaming
cloud to the White House lawn, causes flaming hail to fall from a clear sky,
makes the Potomac run red with blood (literally), and inundates the earth
again to the peak of the highest mountain, I will gladly embrace
supernaturalistic anti-materialism. Until then, do not try to legislate it
down our throats as 'science'.
Deal?
