Re: Little off-topic: honest question, no trolling

I'm not sure why you felt the need to reply to anon as they are absolutely correct that some creationists reject any or most science that contradicts the bible. I also take exception with the suggestion that you can reject just evolution without rejecting the hundreds of different methods, fields of study, and basic mathematical principles that support the theory of evolution.

Rejecting any science because it contradicts a preconceived notion *is* scorning all science. Cherry picking data, no matter who does it, defies the very definition of science. Anyone who states creationism or intelligent design is scientifically equivalent to the theory of evolution does not have a good grasp on the scientific method, are deluding themselves, or are just lying.

I take no issue with people who believe in a higher power. Neither do I have a problem with people who reject the theory of evolution based on their interpretation of the bible or another religious text. But personal beliefs are just that, personal beliefs. The problem comes when people take their personal beliefs and attempt to legitimize them using contrived pseudoscience and then try and leverage them into schoolbooks using the term "creationism" or "intelligent design".

If you think evolutionary scientists don't cherry-pick data just as much, you've never studied the topic. All the things that, as you say, they are using to support the theory of evolution don't need to be rejected to reject the conclusion (evolution) that they're extrapolating from it. Everyone has assumptions, although creationists start out with one that's maybe harder to accept since it's a non-physical phenomenon. In all my science classes they made sure to say "Of course, half of these 'facts' will probably be proven wrong in the next ten years, just like most of the things I learned in college are thought to be wrong now"--not because the facts of the universe changed, but because the scientists studying those facts didn't have accurate data, or extrapolated false conclusions from it.

You put into words what I find hard to say when discussions of this kind come up. It's my inability to put words to it that is a part of why I tend to be a bit shy of it.
