Which Do Believe? And Why?
| We are not going to
discuss these points of view—this is just to say that if you have an argument with someone with the
opposite view, it’s likely to be very emotional. |
|
| Unless you’re
an expert in biology and evolution, you probably believe one or the other of
these mostly due to ideology—you believe that SCIENCE is the best way
to describe the world or you believe that faith-based explanations are
superior. This may be a bit simplistic, but few of us make the decisions
about creationism based on intimate knowledge of the theory of evolution or
an ability to prove anything about a god. In fact, if SCIENCE decided another
theory fit better, I’d probably believe that theory then too. |
|
| You can tell when
people debate something that if chiefly ideological because they get really
angry, it brings up a level of emotion that non-ideological debates
don’t get. It can also make it hard to debate reasonable since the
underlying motivation may be completely irrational. |
