I agree with what you say.
I'm not against science. I'm against claims that science has been done in ordinary "weighing the evidence" stuff. The prestige of science has been used to push gibberish about evolution and gang.
no they don't. Scientists don't go around pushing evolution on people. The creationists are the ones with agendas. The majority of people who have a problem with science are the conservatiove Christians, almost everyone else doesn't care if evolution and "millions of years" are mentioned on a program or in a book.
It's just that evolution and old Earth ideas have been around foe so long that they are the basis for a lot of the work done in the sciences. If science, like biology and geology, had a foundation in NOTHING, how would anything get accomplished. If it were based in CREATIONISM, we would come up with vastly different explanations! Scientists keep their foundation in evolution and old Earth since we know that both ideas are the closest to reality. and frankly, most of the discoveries fit in well with those ideas.
Supporting creationism by attacking evolution is a TERRIBLE way to get your way. Unless you start finding evidence to back up YEC, you have no ground to stand on.So a tactic of the thinking creationist is to pint out WRONGNESS in origin subjects. Then analysis why they were wrong. Demonstrating they are not doing science and never did.
So if the scientific method isn't science, how should they do it??? Take a look at any scientific journal. For the most part the background info, materials, methods, experimentation, data and conclusions are all perfectly valid and based on actual experimental data. do you think we should put science back into the 14th century just to make the creationists happy?? Look where that science got us...
Are you kidding? I am in grad school and all of the professors that taught me Physiology, Ecology, Physical Oceanography, Biometry, and Ichthyology were "Dr. something something". Last time I checked, they were all doing significant research on the side and are Doctors. Even medical doctors can do scientific research, how do you think we develop new vaccines and medical technology and proceedures?Docs ain't doing science either by the way. Nobody calls Doctors SCIENTISTS.
