History Repeats Itself

[Kingpin]

Absolutely Rob and I agree 100%.  It is the conclusion that I deduce and I will readily admit it is most likely impossible to improve empirically.

But yet you have no problem believing it to be true, while the slightest hole you can pick in the evolutionary theory discredits it in your mind. Do you see the double standard?

I will accept at face value the explanation of having faith for emotional reasons, and I wouldn't argue against that. But the moment you say you hold your beliefs out of rationality, I feel compelled to step in and beg to differ.

I understand that completely Vic and wouldn't argue that there may be a double standard.  I do hold a presupposition to my belief in God and I try to be objective in my skepticism.  The problem comes where I can say I find immense problems with evolution theory as origin of species, but I cannot offer a viable, testable alternative.  My means for explanation can only be labeled as supernatural.  I am working on your request Vic for my path to belief, but like I said, it's not a simple post and some areas cannot be empirically tested.

I wish every other theist reached the same conclusion, but that is not the case. The Big Bang has nothing to do with biological evolution. That is called the cosmic evolution.

Oh, I didn't realize you were talking about biological evolution specifically. I just assumed you were talking about evolution in general. There is no issue with any type of evolution.

Hey look, I found something we disagree on.
