[[Our opponents seek to inundate us with facts (‘science’), then lead us to conclusions (ideas)]]
I think that’s backwards- they want to present us with hteir conclusions, then lead us to the facts that they’ve tailored to fit their conclusions, and every single instance of this tailored fabrications invloves a priori assumptions to ‘fill in the gaps’. The facts are expanded WAY beyond their true evidences and meanings. So far so that it’s become the weaving of a just so myth that takes a tremendous amount of facts ignroing faith to beleive. It’s religion dressed up in a lab coat- plain and simple.
I’m sorry, tyhat shoudl have read- “They present us with their SUBJECTIVE conclusions- a priori ‘conclusions’, then lead us to the facts that they’ve fabricated to fit hte a priori hypothesis.
Everythign is ASSUMED to have a naturalistic explanation, and htey simpyl can not get past the fact that not everything might be able to be explained scientifically- i ntheir minds, EVERYTHING MUST have a scientific ecplanation, otherwise it isn’t valid and is to be ridiculed as unsophisticated ideology that has no right to be concidered.
While Creation might- might be beyond natural explanations, we can learn a great deal about HOW it was done, and get enough evidnece to where it is no logner reasonable to deny it did happen- EVEN IF we can’t show how God superceded nature in order to bring hte compelxities we know to exist into existence. When enough evidnece presents itself both showing IC and ID, and that nature is ismply incapable of creating what we have examined, it simply is unreasonable to keep insisting that everythign must be explained scientifically 100% (They mean this to include hte demand that we explain HOW God superceded nature, and if we can’t explain that part, then we’re not to be taken seriously in the scientific comunity DESPITE the fact that we have shown there is NO other explanation especially natural explanations, and we’ve shown so many fingerprints and tell-tale markers that htere simpyl could be no other rational explanation than special unique creation)
It's clear to me that we are taking very different paths to arrive at the same destination.
