GfS... that was not me you quoted!

Pete-"you are not accounting for the presuppositional/worldview influence that affects your interpretation of the data,or your acceptance of other scholars conclusions"

I'm sorry Pete, but I am fully aware of what I bring to the discussion. I studied not only science, but the rules of logic and testing of evidence that determine what is relevant AS evidence.
I wish there were an easy way to explain to you the difference between your presuppositions and my 'attitude' about scientific studies.
When you say that my view "is obviously not universally accepted", you miss the point that many, many experts even MORE informed that you OR I have looked at all aspects of the problem and DO accept the basic data & conclusions that science leads to!
I am not sure what it feels like to know that 99% of those who seriously study evolution and Darwin's influence on it totally DISagree with you. You ...and those who tutored you... seem to think that just taking a deep breath and **accepting** the biblical accounts ..plus all the interpretations of biblical accounts by fallible men... is all that is required to 'know the truth'.
   It just doesn't work that way.... reality cannot be 'believed into submission.

Best wishes to you also... but do consider pondering these things from a different angle... and even discussing them with other religious leaders near you.
