To say we understand the points we have theories on is a stretch, because scientists are constantly working on new theories that will totally obsolete the old ones.Not strictly speaking accurate amigo. Newtonian physics dropped our probes on Mars. In fact, an accepted "theory" is a body of work so well attested that future discoveries would seem to be more likely to modify, rather than replace them (or make them obsolete).
Now, Mark...
Quote:But in my mind science and religion are not mutually exclusive at least not for me and I would make an educated guess not for a large amount of Christians.Can you remember a time in which the contents of your mind did not actually match the contents of the world outside of your mind? That you and many others might believe that your faith doesn't continually beat its head against a wall doesn't actually mean that it doesn't.
Quote:As well as that Just because they have some good cards in this end of the debate doesn't mean we don't either and if i don't look how can I find.It's not an issue of who holds better cards, but rather who is holding any cards. If you (or, to be blunt, magical thinking as a whole) held any cards whatsoever, they would have long since been on the table.
Quote:Smuggling in magic mmh where could I put it as it doesn't exist in my philosophy any more than yours.A bold faced lie, though admittedly, you may have sold yourself on this whopper long before you ever tried it out on me. It's only your reasonable distaste for the subject of magic that leads you to attempt to distance yourself from it. Your magic, as we so often hear, is not magic.
