Show me some evidence of that.

I'm just dismissing the claim that belief IS a matter of policy because there's no evidence for that. Do you think it is a matter of policy or not? Do you claim that you can choose belief?
"belief is a matter of policy" is an idea that I don't know of any evidence of the truth of. "Belief is NOT matter of policy" comes from "belief IS a matter of policy" and I simply dismiss this idea that belief is a matter of policy. Because I don't know of any evidence for that.
And as far as I'm concerned if you could just choose your beliefs then you would be able to. I could believe what ever I wanted to rather than being convinced by evidence. It seems to me that perhaps you could choose your beliefs it you BELIEVED you could choose your beliefs. But you can't choose THAT belief. To have to belief that you can choose your beliefs in the first place that belief itself must come without choosing it. Right?

I would like to see some evidence of your beloved evolution.

You've already been shown fossil images by ace, etc, etc. There's loads of info on the net. There's loads of books you can buy on evolution, fossils, DNA, etc, etc. There's fossils you can see in real life too.
If you want to look into this then you can.
And actually the burden of proof is on you because evolution is already supported by plenty of evidence. So you have to disprove it.
With the case of God, there's no proof. So you have to present evidence if you claim there is some. And quit with the circular reasoning too.
"it says in the bible: X. So X is true. How do we know X is true? Because it says in the bible"

It is almost as if you have to believe that there couldn't possibly be an example of people who trust in science as blindly as some do in God. It is interesting how all of you do that repeatedly.

As if science is, like I keep suggesting, the new god. And everything about it absolutely must be perfect. It is a reflection of the religiosity obvious to everyone except those under its powerful grasp.

How exactly do people trust "blindly" in something you can see and observe? Please explain.

Also, I've never said science was perfect. All I've argued is that science has continually shown itself to be the best self-correcting mechanism for gaining knowledge we have ever seen.

I would like to see some evidence of your beloved evolution.

Or would you like to see something specific? Please name your topic and I will find you the correct evidence.

Talkorigins is down, has been for a while now Adrian.

[Tiberius]

Odd. I was using it the other day so it can't have been a "while".

Ah well, plenty of research sites still out there, and Google still have an archive.

[leo-rcc]

The other day must be more than 4 days then. I havent been able to reach talkorigins since Thursday.

[Tiberius]

Yeah thats probably an accurate estimate. Hopefully they are working on getting it back up...
