And they criticize _us_ for not being open-minded: "You stubborn atheists, why aren't you open to closing your mind?"

Prof. of Quantum Physics John Polkinhorne describes science and religion as the search for truth.

First truth is objective and fixed and second IF you had ever bothered to study the Bible you could determine that truth is there. We just have to understand it better, our faiths aren't absolutely fixed but we need to study to make them close to the objective (fixed) truth.

Science is an objective truth too but man's interpretations on the other hand keeps needing to be re-fixed because of the errors. Here are a few examples.

1) 100 years ago rocks falling from the sky etc. were considered frauds and the only scientific group to collect and pay them any attention and collect them was the Vatican observatory. I hear a family in Canada near Toronto just had a rock fall out of the sky and go through the windshield of their vehicle.

2) In my science text they still had the Haekel embryo diagrams even though he had admitted they were a fraud 70 years earlier. Seems like a deliberate distortion to me!

3) In that same text the universe was a constant even though Hubble was over a decade earlier. Seems like a deliberate distortion to me! It is interesting that even Einstein didn't accept the discovery until he sat down with Hubble to go over the results.

4) The fossil homind called Lucy was part of the human ancestor tree for decades until they finally allowed anitomical studies then it dropped it off the tree.

5) The Bible declared that God said let there be light and 3,500 years later science finds out that light, subatomic particles and energy plasma were created in the first picoseconds of the creation event.

6) The experiments to create amino acids have only shown that the simplest items of life can be created in lab conditions that Nasa says don't match conditions anywhere on earth at that time. The creation of enzymes, proteins, DNA, RNA and cell membrance.... by luck..... ha ha ha.

You are very wrong in your ideas and maybe you should learn what religion is right about and science keeps getting wrong! I will include some of John Polkinhornes simpler books, the others are probably way over your head with your fictional assumptions.

Luke 6:47-49 (New American Standard Bible)

47" Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like:

48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.

49 "But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great."

"Merely having an open mind is nothing; the object of opening a mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid." G.K. Chesterton

"Science brings men nearer to God." - Louis Pasteur

James 1:5

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

May you someday find wisdom.

Fixed truths provide an epistemic anchor. They allow a person to act on principle rather than the needs of the moment. Taken too far, however, this can lead to a rigidity that is more death like than life affirming. I know this is a truism, but balance is everything.

Their knowledge is fixed; it's the principles of reality.

However, of course, things change within reality, but the principles remain the same (truth).

Humans generally are afraid of change.

Regardless though, the world thrives on change.

Whatever give them an excuse to remain ignorant, ya know?

Science, humble? Hmm...I think that is debatable at best and a downright fallacy at worst.

It means they can never learn.
