I’m sure we all remember hot day in the past. I’m also sure, seeing as how we’ve kept meticulous records for the last couple hundred years, that nobody remembers as many hot days or as many cold days per season. Denying reality doesn’t change reality.
I hope I didn’t come off seeming confrontational. It is a quirky thing, I’ve had this conversation with many students when we begin a unit on evolution or the Big Bang. To “believe” is to accept and acknowledge as true. To “believe in” is to have faith that it is true. I’m completely with you, having faith in science is just weird. You can observe science directly, you don’t need faith to know it’s real.
If empirical evidence is enough to counter your faith, perhaps the deity you believe in is not as omnipotent as you claim. My faith in God and my understanding of science do not contradict each other because I have a solid understanding of them both.I completely understand why some are willing to believe science but deny God. I will never understand why some who claim to believe in God deny the obvious and observable realities of His creation, which is to say, science.
“the British” can’t even agree on how to pronounce the word grass. I find it unlikely they are unanimous on the spelling of misspelt.
