""The good thing about Science is that it is true whether or not you believe in it."

But there are occasions. Witness the Rule of 48."

But the lesson to be learned is that when better information became available... SCIENTISTS did not declare heresy and refuse to accept change... they said a scholarly "dang it all" and then incorporated the new and better information into their "databases" along with a cautionary rule to remind themselves and their successors that mistakes will happen, so don't get too wedded to your assumptions.

Not so with fundamentalists- who refuse new information and attempt to rewrite anything that refutes their cherished beliefs.

I am of the opinion that the assorted posts to this thread have made the case against any presumed merits to creationism.

Intransigent belief has no intentions of bowing to scientific investigation... or logic ... or reason...
