Such as? Example? And we're not talking about something that we just don't understand YET, we're talking about this eternally unknowable and unexplainable brouhaha (which begs the question, how the fuck do we know anything about it, i.e. whether it exists, if it's like that? Or how do we even know it's unexplainable or unknowable?)

What do you mean "example"? Example of what?

I stopped caring. Never mind.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.

Existence doesn't have to be explainable to be existent. Existence has to be explainable to be knowable.

Then how could the existence of something be concluded if not explainable and therefore unknowable?

That's a different question. That's the point.

It's just a shortened version of the rest of the other post.

So?

My point is that... no existence doesn't have to be explainable. It has to be explainable to be knowable.

Yeah it's called peer review. It means that papers need to reach a minimum standard in order to be accepted. For example, assertions need to be backed up by evidence. A difficult concept for you I know.

If creationists could provide evidence for creation science then they  would be able to publish papers stating it. But they can't. For example I'm not employed to research artificial intelligence at the moment, and the research I do in my spare time is at odds with the predominant paradigm that most follow. Yet I still publish papers because I back it up with evidence.

What's more evolutionary science is actually useful. Not only are the theories backed up by evidence but they work in practice. This would not be the case if it was incorrect. I personally use it almost every day of my life. There has been no useful application of the belief that everything was created.

And it's only non-scientists that think that you make lots of money as a scientist.

I know scientist that make 6 figures and he is a Christian. Evolutionary science has no use because it's not true, there are no proofs at all, none. I know what peer review is and I know what dishonest peer review is. Creation scientists have given much evidence for the way they see things, it goes against what the so called reviewers believe so it's rejected.

  A hypocrite how so, what I said is true. When Christians bark back at the atheist here they are called everything in the book, you all think we are to roll over and play dead, not the way I work.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
