I'm still growing, still learning, and I'm sure still screwing up.
I do disagree, however, that any of this means that people are just making things up (perhaps some are). But some of us, don't believe that we are free to just make things up, or that thins are subjective. Some believe that there is an objective truth, that we are trying to achieve.
RoadRunner, how can biases play a part when you have a rulebook to play to, the gospels. If you adhere to the Christian dogma that the gospels are the inspired word of God you are not given leave to interoperate the church stance on these matters.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
