Evolution Trumps Creationism

[Esquilax]

So in your opinion High functioning members of society are often associeated with what you have idenitifed as 'delusion?'

Remember I am not the only person in the world to make these claims. Doctors, Lawyers, CEO's of massive companies, World leaders have all made the very same claims for the past 2000 years or so. Are they too delusional?

Well... yeah. I mean, fundamentally, holding that claim to be true makes them wrong, and there's nothing inherently... um... wrong with that, assuming you correct your claims when evidence comes to light that shows you that you're wrong.

You cross into the territory of delusion when you continue to hold onto your belief despite this new evidence. When you try to fit your disproven belief into the new evidence without looking to see if it actually conforms to it. That's what makes a delusion, and no amount of appeal to popularity is going to change that.

Let me ask you, aside from popularity, what makes your arguments here for creationism any different from the arguments of the flat earth society, in terms of evidence and, more importantly, in terms of where those arguments originated from? Why are they called apologetics? What apology could one even demand from a claim that is true, and so evidently true that such smart people as world leaders and doctors hold it?

Could it be because the claim doesn't match reality as we know it, and apologetics really act as a way to dodge around this issue rather than facing it head on?

It's the difference between science's "this theory is wrong, here's what the new information tells us," and religion's "the new information is wrong, because this is how our theory fits into it."
