Verified answer

Well, darling, it may be - although I'd think that those who say that they don't "believe" in evolution are more likely to consider science to be an actual question of belief similar to religion.

It may just be a figure of speech, though, darling...some people feel awkward saying "I accept the theories and conclusions of science."

There is no more reason to believe that the scientific method will yield any more true answers than philosophy or any other field. The idea that, "Only through the collection and quantification of empirical data, one can derive truth" is just as much a belief as, "God(s) are the only path to truth". Both are belief systems, that require one to accept the said maxim and that require the same amount of mental effort, a fact which many religious and scientific scholars accept.

Please don't pretend like you understand us Desiree, because you so obviously don't. Religion is a heartbreakingly complex thing and it's something no one can truly understand without wholeheartedly believing in it.

I actually looked up the word believe for you, and here's what I found

be⋅lieve  /bɪˈliv/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [bi-leev] Show IPA verb, -lieved, -liev⋅ing.

Use believe in a Sentence

–verb (used without object) 1. to have confidence in the truth, the existence, or the reliability of something, although without absolute proof that one is right in doing so: Only if one believes in something can one act purposefully.

Not all Science is proven, a lot of it is presumed to be true because of extreme evidence without absolute proof (evolution), or just blatantly theorized as something that might be possible (big bang). So one CAN believe Science.

How about this then - I recognize the validity of science (because God created science); however, I also know that science does not explain away God.

Consider this, is Evolution true? (We evolved from lesser beings?) I know that there is a theory posited that Evolution explains observed phenomena, but is it more than a theory? - meaning objective scientific data exists to demonstrate beyond all doubt that Evolution is true?

If not, isn't the statement, "Evolution is true" a belief (even with the observed data at this point) instead of a provable fact?

So have you ever seen your guy or woman reasons in speaking this way? How does it income you? you're deeply extreme yet yet you're purely spewing out unfavorable opinion, no longer actuality. possibly you're purely taking your hatred for existence out in this team, because of the fact they're happier than you're. i'm a scientist, i do no longer attack technology in a "moronic" way. I learn it for reality and blunder. I discard what's unfaithful and settle for what's authentic. no longer each little thing in technology is "progression." this is basically discovery of documents approximately existence. some documents leads nowhere. some contributes to some thing yet unknown. there are various Christians who artwork in technology, and have contributed plenty to the sector.

I believe in God because of what I have observed, of what I know and have gained from understanding the Bible, I've hypothesized (derives from the Greek ὑπόθεσις, [hypotithenai] meaning "to put under [test]" or "to suppose.") the Scriptures just as 1 John 4:1 says "test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God".

Also, a theory, in the scientific sense of the word, is an analytic structure designed to explain a set of empirical observations. A scientific theory does two things:

1. It identifies this set of distinct observations as a class of phenomena, and

2. Makes assertions about the underlying reality that brings about or affects this class.

Furthermore in reference to point 1: A phenomenon (from Greek φαινόμενoν, pl. φαινόμενα - phenomena) is any observable occurrence. In popular usage, a phenomenon often refers to an extraordinary event. In scientific usage, a phenomenon is any event that is observable, however commonplace it might be, EVEN IF IT REQUIRES the use of INSTRUMENTATION to observe it. (Emphasis mine.)

God's invisible qualities is a class of phenomenon. In simple terms "For His invisible qualities are CLEARLY SEEN from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable." (Romans 1:20) Note that point 2 states "even if it requires the use of instumentation to observe it". True Christians clearly see God's invisible qualities because they are fully conscious as to notice the science which God ordained. For example, the exact measurements the earth is from the sun, and it's immense power- these reveal the power and knowledge of a wonderful creator. The instrument that a Christian uses to observe such things is prayer and faith. The word “faith” is translated from the Greek pi′stis, primarily conveying the thought of confidence, trust, firm persuasion. Depending on the context, the Greek word may also be understood to mean “faithfulness” or “fidelity.”—1Th 3:7; Tit 2:10.

The Scriptures tell us: “Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld.” (Heb 11:1) “Assured expectation” translates the Greek word hy‧po′sta‧sis. This term is common in ancient papyrus business documents. It conveys the idea of something that underlies visible conditions and guarantees a future possession. In view of this, Moulton and Milligan suggest the rendering: “Faith is the title deed of things hoped for.” (Vocabulary of the Greek Testament, 1963, p. 660) The Greek word e′leg‧khos, rendered “evident demonstration,” conveys the idea of bringing forth evidence that demonstrates something, particularly something contrary to what appears to be the case. Thereby this evidence makes clear what has not been discerned before and so refutes what has only appeared to be the case. “The evident demonstration,” or evidence for conviction, is so positive or powerful that faith is said to be it.

Faith is, therefore, the basis for hope and the evidence for conviction concerning unseen realities. The entire body of truths delivered by Jesus Christ and his inspired disciples constitutes the true Christian “faith.” (Joh 18:37; Ga 1:7-9; Ac 6:7; 1Ti 5:8) Christian faith is based on the complete Word of God, including the Hebrew Scriptures, to which Jesus and the writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures frequently referred in support of their statements.

Faith is based on concrete evidence. The visible creative works testify to the existence of an invisible Creator. (Ro 1:20)

Yes, what else should I say to your question. And a word of advice, you should pick a best answer quick cause those a holes will report questions like this, even though I completely agree.

No. Well I believe in science as in we don't ahve a religion that allows up not to believe in science

Evolution isn't science. It is a conceptual position, based mainly on lies. You assume that evolution hasn't been proven wrong, which it has, several times. While basing your conclusion on an idea that was never proven in the first place.

And, there is a flood of supporting evidence for the biblical account for the world. In addition, everything in our world supports structured, intended design, not random assortment, as evolution suggests.

As for the rest of your post, you are wrong. Evolution is a very well funded, state endorsed religious stance to explain things. But it has no proof and you equate any extent of dissent with stupidity. No one believes in evolution, it is a dead theory. Evolution is not science, it is a fine concept if someone wants to believe it. But we don't and have no reason to. We see the structures, laws, patterns and drives in science as a mark for design and support for intelligent design.

There are obvious, clear differences in the beliefs. That leads you back to what is the trouble here. Evolution is state endorsed and taught in schools. My children won't be taught that garbage, No more than they would be willingly taught taoism.

they believe in the "science" that's accepted by their stone age church which just recently forgave Gallileo in like 1990 or something after persecuting him for the rest of his life after claiming that the earth orbited the sun.
