Brownback is not going to be president. But he speaks for a great many voters in this country who really have no concept of the power of the scientific method or what it means, who believe that it is possible to allow reason to be swayed by faith and still call it reason.

Very good reading. I wonder if Brownback is a contributor to the Creation Museum in Kentucky.

It's too bad the writer of this article couldn't take a basic logic class before pretending to represent logic.
Garbage. I'm shocked that people can pretend to have such a black and white picture of the world when they encounter so many grays in their day to day life.

You can't mix faith and reason and remain an average Christian, TAKE it from a Christian who knows.

Such broad sweeping statements. Such absolutes. Evolution and science on one side with creation on the other, supposedly mutually exclusive. Science goes with what you know. When you know more it changes or improves. I'll intrude a brand new concept. What if creation is the foundation of science and uses scientific principles we haven't discovered yet?

Until science can explain creatures that fly, science takes a "bat" to atheism. I mean, if there is no God and no "sudden monster" situation as to why we have bats and had pteranadon, one is going to have to believe T-Rex had a soft spot in it's heart for fumbling dinosaurs.

Try doing some research on the net for the evolution of bats and pteranodon. I think you'll be surprised at the lack of explanation. Due to the reality of these two types of creatures, atheistic evolutionists have to believe in the "sudden monster" theory. Of course, I'm discovering, more and more, that evolutionists who held to the "sudden monster" theory are starting to get off into New Agism. They can't quite go for a belief in the God of the Bible, so, they end up as New Age Deists who have a liking for the magic (yeah, I said magic) of "quantum theory" due to the observation of a photon being in two different places at once.
