[QUOTE="cotjones, post: 7664697, member: 573988"] I'm in general agreement with your philosophy, but you are missing an important distinction which most anti-evolutionists tend to exploit. In general, we are talking about the heisenberg uncertainty principle, although it is much more specific. Derivatives of this suggest that any time data is analysed, the physical scenario from which the data comes could have changed. Your math can be perfect and you could see a different result. You could then revise your math and see again the original result, making your math wrong again. Ultimately, all knowledge (to be acceptable as valid) require a measure of faith. Your frame of reality says that because you got the same result 1000 times, your model fits. But what if your model failed the next 20 times? You can't know that it won't! Anything you study can change. You must assume that your measurements are valid AKA faith. [COLOR=Silver] [/COLOR] [COLOR=Silver]Religion relies almost exculsively on faith.
