Quote:The theory of evolution isn’t monolithic as far as I know. New discoveries have been made which tweak the theory from time to time.
True, but trite. This is the case with all scientific theories, it is part of the self-correcting nature of science.
Quote:Can you apply the same standard to your own beliefs?
Yup.
Quote:BTW I threw out the idea of hell because I can’t find its scriptural basis not based on “proof”, whatever that is.
A cursory reading of scripture would seem to indicate that the people responsible for the Bible certainly did believe in a literal, eternal Hell. I respectfully suggest that the real reason you abandoned the idea of hell is that the notion of eternal torture is repugnant to you. And that's a good thing.
Quote:Their is no proof of evolution
Other than watching it happen, you mean.
Quote:but many people believe it because “science says so”,
This is probably true. But even if it is, it doesn't alter the fact that evolution is also accepted because it happens to be true.
Quote:even though scientists can’t even agree 100% on the age of the earth or anything else.
Bearing in mind that the percentage of scientists who disagree with fundamental scientific principles (such as biological evolution) is an insignificant number.
But I'm getting the feeling that you really don't grasp how sciences works. A certain level of disagreement is the basis of scientific progress - if all scientists agreed with each other always and about everything, science stops being science and becomes dogma.
