I cannot think of a greater waste of time than arguing with somebody's FAITH.
I don't understand why believers bother with it, and I especially don't understand why non-believers bother with it.
In order to really debate something, the debaters have to have enough COMMON GROUND to even have the debate.
In this case there is no common ground because one is coming at the discussion based on FAITH and the other is not.
Really...what's the point?
When one encounters a believer who is SO CLUELESS about their OWN belief system that they truly imagine that they NEED science to justify it?
Seriously, debating the science with THEM? A total waste of time.
Not only do they not understand science, they don't understand FAITH, either.
The reason YWC hates science, is because many different scientific fields have proven parts of the Bible to be impossible and downright crazy. So he's going to continue his own personal war against science until he's pushing up daisies.
Sounds to me like that is his problem, not yours.
Hey if it amuses you to debate the SCIENCE, then by all means go for it.
But speaking as some kind of believer, these debates have always stuck me as something only the truly deperate dogmatic believers and dogmatic desperate atheists get involved with.
There is NO conflict between FAITH and SCIENCE.
These two thought systems actually live in totally different universes.
