I realized I did so simply because I was a coward too scared to reflect and see for myself what the truth regarding this matter is. I use to read Creationist arguments and just read the refutations thinking they been refuted.
But I have more courage to perceive truth be it from a an unknown child and reject falsehood be it by the most praised and popular person on earth.
When you begin to perceive, all the signs become manifest, and when things start clicking, everything starts to fall into place.
I feel bad for you, buddy. I really do. Do you realize you depend on scientific authority every single time you step out of your house? Every time you take a medication, get behind the wheel of a car, order food at a restaurant, or visit a doctor; everything you are learning in school; you’re relying on scientific authority. How do you explain that?
Is it because of their authority that you rely on those things; or is their authority only good, so long as it accurately reflects reality? For me personally, I look at what different and opposing scientists testify to, what there reasoning is, and how what they conclude follows from the evidence and reasons. It's not a matter of authority.
