Creation vs Evolution

[luvfightgame]

Bilbo, other than an Evolutionist global conspiracy why would the majority of scientific research say that dinosaurs are millions of years old? I mean your in an extreme minority on your dinosaur beliefs. If your opinions are backed up my so much factual information why isn't it taught in schools, universities etc?

That's a great question. I believe that by asking questions you really get to the core of the issue.

The first question is how do you establish dates for something? How do you know the majority of science agrees?

Look as I've stated before I dont feel one way or the other in regards to mans evolution from primates. What I don't understand is how you can deny that man has been evolving both physically and socially over the past several thousand years. But my point was that through 12 years of public schooling and 5 years of college education that did include some biology, anthropology and archaelogy I've never heard anything other than that dinosaurs existed millions of years ago, long before man showed up. So although I understand that there is quite a bit of information that is debatable it seems that most scientific research points to Bilbos theory of dinosaurs being wrong or at least widely disbelieved.

Do you beleive other peoples opinion on every matter? When you watch a fight do you always agree with the commentators? If you went to a beauty contest would you think the winner was the best looking one? My point is that absence of evidence leaves it in the realm of opinion. Why do schools continue to teach things in biology, and archaelogy that have been proven wrong That's a good question. I have an opinion, but that would lead us into a different topic. Just because you were taught something in school doesn't mean its true. They used to teach all kinds of ridiculous things that have since been proven wrong... Flat earth, smoking prevents sickness, bleeding out your "bad" blood cures sickness, removing portions of your brain will cure mental conditions, and many other misconcieved medical treatments.

The one fact you can rely on is that if someone has something to gain from something they will present slanted information. There is no lack of accusations for this for anyone promoting creation. However the general populace automatically assumes that "science" is the good guy and they would never do anything but present unbiased information. It is entirely untrue. "Science" is often promoting a product and edit out unfavorable information. Just look at all the pharmacuetical companies that passed through FDA testing, then people started dropping dead and they had to recall the product. Don't be niave and just assume something is true because a credible organization backs it.
