heres a thread that i got from a another forum, and i kind of agree with this guy, so what do you think? Knowledge or Faith?


[QUOTE=DrakenFire87]

Timeline 1: Faith
8000 BC: 45% of Americans believe the Earth was created by God on this day.  That is their belief.  That is their "Faith".
32 CE: Christ was crucified.
2005 CE: Obscure youngsters argue about dinosaurs.

Timeline 2: Knowledge
Billions of Years Ago: Earth was Created over millions of years by the combinations of rocks, or whatever the theory is today.  Whatever the theory is it didn't happen in the last 10,000 years which is the entire point.
Sometime Before 8000 BC: Dinosaurs walked the Earth

Timeline 1 does not have room for Timeline 2.  Timeline 1 is composed of 45% of America population whose religion says it is the correct timeline.  Timeline 2 is the correct timeline in respect to Knowledge.  The validity of this knowledge is ever-changing, but in reality is as close to absolute as modern science can provide.  Faith cannot be defeated by Knowledge.  Timeline 1 still exists despite Timeline 2.

If you don't get that, just stop trying.  I don't know what else to do.  I'm not trying to prove some grand scheme.  The topic is "Knowledge Vs. Faith" not "Black Vs. White".  By that I mean black is black and it will never be white.  We are not talking in absolutes.  Faith and Knowledge are both abstract, ok?[/QUOTE]
