California Proposition 8

[allan175]

When something reaches a point it can't (currently) be tested then, yes, there is plenty of faith & interpretation going on.

Then it evolves into another workable theory to keep it alive - for 200 years if need be.

I don't really get your point with that statement. Unless you are pointing at evolution in which case I still don't really see what you are implying with it.

In which case the "theory" is no more than an idea of how something *might* work. If more evidence is discovered that gives the theory more (or less) credence then there is less room for interpretation (and therefore less "faith" required).

All the while being held and preached as fact and all possible alternatives being dismissed.

I'm guessing you are hinting towards ID being dismissed by "evolutionists". If so then again, I'm not 100% sure what you are implying.

My skeptical view of religion (and indeed any supernatural thing) is simply that the person is a bit deluded and mis-interpreting something (and I'm sure they think the same of me!).

And yet you don't see the irony.

Haha.....As I said, I'm sure they think the same as I do (but the opposite views obviously).

Oh, and religion isn't a supernatural thing.

I didn't mean to imply it was. I just meant my view of religions is the same as my view of supernatural things.
