: Why is it important to disprove science? The Gensis STORY is an allegory like revelation, it isnt an explaination of the origin of the species and everyone from Darwin to Stephen Hawkings who have said that it didnt happen by chance (a lot of creationists think everyone else thinks things just happened by chance)and have provided mechanisims for chance such as evolutionary theory havent insisted there is no God.

: Science explains how or what not why.

Exactly. I have no problems with people who say there is a God; I do not know one way or the other; indeed, I cannot know to any reasonably objective standard.

However, when people use a self-contradictory text like the Bible to try and deny the measurable and observable, like evolution, I start to see red; deliberate short-sightedness annoys me.

And when they try teaching such abuses of logic as 'fact', I go on the warpath.
