HMS Beagle (Possibly) Found
With the Beagle 2 lander lost on Mars, good Beagle-related news has been lacking, until now. British paper The Observer is reporting that the original HMS Beagle, the ship Darwin travelled on during his famous voyage, may have been found. Marine archeologists believe they have found the ship, which has been resting at the bottom of some Essex marshes for the last century.
I don't think things are all so clear cut as you make them sound.
You could rewrite your sentence
"I have found the theory of creation lacking for scientific reasons. It is a fascinating idea, but far from proven."
I agree totally. Both viewpoints require a substantial amount of faith and a beleif system that cannot be proven.
Evolution predicts certain things, and these seem to be accurate, so it's the best model we have at the moment.
The theory of evolution doesn't predict anything. It is a reactionary "theory" in which we look at an outcome and guess the process. Since the process we guessed arrives at the outcome we observe, we assume it is correct. This is not prediction!
Don't confuse science with scientism.
You are absolutely correct. I am a scientist myself and have nothing against the process. Many of the comments have been in the scientism camp, and I was responding to them.
the belief in absolute time for example, has long been debunked
I don't think the question of causation and a miracle instantiation of a particle can be brushed aside by waving your hands at the idea of time. Many new ideas from physicists and astronomers, no matter how famous, are far-fetched and many will probably be proven to be crap.
Slashdot Syndrome: the sudden, extreme urge to correct someone in order to validate one's self.
Why because it looks like people on /. don't have time for your religion.
Is Creationism tying in neatly w/ your Flat Earth Theory?
