I wouldn't say that. Fishermage is open to challenges and willing to change philosophy, but will not change without a fight. It is a challenge, after all. Perhaps a good analogy would be a skyscraper that sways to the wind, but does not budge on the Earth. Hoopty, from my experience, quotes more than researches. A suitable analogy would be... ? Well I'm not exactly on the ball this evening, I can't think of an analogy that woudn't be somewhat insulting.
I am more of a pessimist....

What is wrong with a creationist saying, "By faith, I believe that God created the universe" when an evolutionist says "By faith, I believe that the universe created itself"? |

Most scientists believe evolution is more likely than being created by a supreme being, but to qualify as being a scientist, they must be ready to be proven wrong. They have no faith in the belief, only faith that the belief might be right. When there are zealots in any belief, they believe, by the faith they invest in that belief, that it is true and nothing else is.
The difference is dogma. Dogma is more common among the religious than the scientific, mostly because there are many religious folks out there who want to justify their base beliefs in order to say that they're infallibly correct. Zealots aren't driven to discover by the love of discovery, they are driven to justify by the love of their dogma. Scientists can have no such agenda - if they do possess one, they could not be considered scientists. |
