" Don't confuse technology and Science. How often did you hear, "How can you look at a tree and still not believe in God?" Engineers and technicians, design and build technology. You presume that Science had something to do with it, just as Christians presume that God has something to do with trees.

"I am just wondering why should we believe science? They tell us that the universe is very big. They tell us that stars are many "light years" away. They tell us the earth is 4.5 billion years old. Why should I believe any of it? They do not believe us when we tell them about the Bible, so why should we believe them when they tell us their opinions about the universe? How can I know they can be trusted to tell us the truth when they lie to us about the Bible. If they can not be trusted in the area we can check up on them. Then how can we trust them in the areas we can not verify?"

4. Knowledge of the world is derived by observation, experimentation,

and rational analysis, i.e. science.

5. Uh, freeper-dude...they don't just TELL us, they tell us how they and why...

So you, Mr. Freeper dude, can actually study the evidence yourself, do the calculations, re-construct the experiments, double-check the math, quantify the variables, extrapolate the zaplinger quotient as a factor of the space time continuum upon the force of metaphysical franistans.

I think I made that last part up. Of course, you can easily disprove my words, or accept them upon faith.

"Then how can we trust them in the areas we can not verify?"

You can verify it - you just need an education and a marginal IQ!

7. And another one from fstdt

"you evolutionists are so funny. Life is not scientifically explainable...nor is it able to be tested scientifically....thus for you to expect a creationist to come up with a scientic explanation for the universe is ridiculous. Heck, you guys have tried, but failed miserably. You cannot present one air-tight piece of proof."

9. “I contend we are both atheists,

I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.”
