Reasonable

Myself, science minded as i am, believe in a hybrid of sorts. Creationism and evolution. My thoughts and feelings are ever changing as i learn and experience more.

When I was in college, I took a biology course from a professor involved in the race to map the human genome. He taught me something I rember to this day: the field of science isn't what it used to be. There was a time when science questioned its own assumptions. Although he was a geneticist on the cutting edge of science, he was troubled by the self-affirming nature of of his field. He said that the theory of evolution had holes in it big enough to throw turkeys through it. This was a shock to me because in high school it was taught to me like it was indisputable fact, and that once we mapped the han genome, we would have unlocked all the secrets of genetic disease.

Fast forward ten years. We've mapped the human genome. They found out that genes were not soley responsible for the expression of inheritable disease. Now, proteins play a part in unlocking the secret of humankind. So, decoding the mystery of the proteins was the big challenge. Studies of twins found that how one grew up played a part. Nutritional deficiencies played a part. So many variables!

There are so many species we know so little about, even though we have been studying them closely. Industrious ant behavior is discussed in a book that is thousands of years old, and yet, we do not have all the answers for this one small creature. We have not cured the common cold. 40% of disease presented at the hospital is iatrogenic, meaning, caused by a doctor' care. Yet, we trust so heavily in science, to the point that some people feel that it is unreasonable to believe in the Bible.

Many doctors also scoffed at the Bible's advice about washing whenever coming into contact with blood or semen. Because at that time germs were UNOBSERVABLE and therefore UNPROVABLE, they considered it to be the practice of ignorant midwives and went from house to house delivering babies just wiping off the blood and spreading disease.

What is it about the arrogance of humankind that some cannot accept that God knows better than they do? Thousands and thousands of years ago, God told Job that Job didn't know the treasures God made when he created
the snow. Many thousands of years would pass before we would have microscopes to capture the amazing beauty, symmatry, and unique design of water.

If we don't know much about how the most studied organism on earth works - the human, or even a smaller creature, the much and long studied ant, then isn't it perfectly reasonable to doubt scientists ruminations of events that they claim occurred before anyone could observe it?

There are scientifical theorys.
And then there are scientifical facts.

Thoerys are not facts. I believe in science. Anyone can doubt a theory. Only facts are proven, overworked, and in no doubt the truth. Evolution is a thoeory. It has never been fact, due to not being able to dead on prove the past where we humans did not exist.

So yes, you can doubt or ponder any theory in science.

Edit; apparently I can't spell.

Well, so here's the thing - the facts keep changing too. How many planets are in our solar system? If the observable facts are always in dispute, then isn't it reasonable to doubt what science has theorized unobserved?
