Q: do you, Christian, claim that God exists, rather than you believe that he exists?
#2
RE: Q: do you, Christian, claim that God exists, rather than you believe that he exists?
I chose the second, as that is what I would have answered when I was a believer. But if you had twisted my arm, I would have admitted that I was certain that god exists. :p
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
