    It's blind belief because you're basing your faith in testimony from authority sources without any possibility of individually verifying the theories.

    The only difference is which authority sources you trust. You regard scientists as "best evidence" and religious figures as nonsense. Others regard religious sources as more trustworthy. The process by which you see the world is the same process that religious people process their views... someone they trust tell them how things are and you reject the possibility of other sources.

    I'm not saying what you believe is wrong but theories in astronomy change literally every 20 years. And that's a much "harder" science than many paleontology or evolutionary biology. If someone told you that scientists think dinosaurs had feathers millions of people go to war on the Internet about the truth that dinosaurs had feathers... and how ****ing stupid are feather deniers?. If someone told you that scientists think dinosaurs definitely didn't have feathers millions of people go to war on the Internet about the truth that dinosaurs definitely could not have had feathers... lmao @ stupid feather believers.

    Again I'm not saying you're wrong or even that biblical and scientific theories have the same probability of truth but simply making an observation about how the most didactic people on both sides are basically the same people. Most scientists themselves are religious and realize that their theories are imperfect. In 200 years people will look at our primitive understanding of evolution or the Earth and laugh at us how we laugh today at Lamarckism or Halley's hypothesis but religious fanatics will still be quoting the same sources about Creation.

    Al Gore disagrees with you. The earth had a ten year time bomb prediction in 2006.

    "It's an effect that no one yet understands. Theorists are starting to say, 'What's going on?' But that's what the evidence points to. It's a challenge for the physicists and a challenge for the solar people too. [If it's not neutrinos,] it would have to be something we don't know about, an unknown particle that is also emitted by the sun and has this effect, and that would be even more remarkable."

    it's LOVE

    Yea, because there is only one research lab in the world right, and we all know how non-competitive scientists from all over the world are right.

    :rolleyes:
