Re: One-third of Americans reject evolution, poll shows
No one suggested we stop learning because we accept the science we know is true. We still have much to learn about evolution, but we know it exists. I am not going to debate whether gravity exists or not, because I can observe it. I am not going to debate whether the earth revolves around the sun or not, although just like today's debate on evolution, people use to debate that very issue. Yet science won out in the long run.
There is a reason why we accept scientific theories like gravity and evolution . . . because there is so much data involved. The idea is that the data makes so much sense it can be considered fact. Do you believe in gravity J? The same method works for evolution.
I sure hope that isn't true...Because if so, then we stop learning.
Absolutism is never a good position to take with unknowns out there.
