Stephen Elliot opines,

Portend? I am not trying to portend a message. I am trying to give it.
You may think science and religion are fundamentaly identical. I certainly think you used the wrong word with "identical". But feel free to blame my comprehension.
Had tou said. "Science and Religion have a similar goal in-that they both try to explain the world we live in". I would have agreed. But what you said was "Science and Religion are fundamentally identical" and unqualified I consider that to be nonsense.
Finally. Yes, I believe evolution is the best explanation we have at the moment for the diversity of life. |
First, I apologize for mistaking attribution of certain things said. Secondly, I agree that science requires "measurable evidence." I think I had said as much and labeled this a modification in intelligence.
As for the little dispute over "portend," your simple answer was suffice to my simple question, but surely you can understand a different perspective? Afterall, you stated that establishment scientists obtructed greater scientific truths. Are you sure that we don't have a similar situation with ID?
Lastly, what isn't identical except for the measurable evidence (modification)? At the fundamental level, both religion and science are common in structure and function. In fact, without religion there would seemingly be no science.
Descent with modification... you do believe in it, no?

, What does the word 'Portend' mean? No peeking in a dictionary either.
