[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 7538986, member: 8735"] Quite right, we're all free to believe what we choose and I'm sure you share my hope that long may it be so. But... being 'entitled' to believe something doesn't make it true, does it? I don't know or care what your religion / delusion of choice is, but I'm pretty certain that you'll claim to be a Christian - apologies if not. But, that being so, you'll regard the animist religions from some parts of the world as entirely wrong from start to finish, yet some people believe in them as deeply and wholly as you do yours - so we can probably agree that belief in something does not necessarily equate to its being true. Therefore we must make the best use of our critical faculties and the information available to us to establish what is true - I'm fairly sure that we're still in agreement to this point, but I'd guess not for much longer... because you seem to place more weight on a much plagiarised and self-contradictory set of texts that stem from the Bronze Age and which all rational evidence contradicts, than on the entirety of what empirical science and objective, rational observation explain. The problem religionists have when rejecting science and its method, is that if they accept that 1 + 1 = 2, [U]all[/U] of the rest [U]has[/U] to follow. And accepting science in every other way, while irrationally trying to make exceptions for the supernatural and superstitions - faiths, if you like - is what makes people nutters. (y) [/QUOTE]
