Scientific Truth

I’ve been thinking for the last few hours about the rejection by some fundamentalist evangelicals of evolution in favor of creationism, and the outrage over evolution being taught in schools. My thoughts are this: if you do not wish to believe in evolution that is fine.

But to not believe in evolution, and to believe that the earth is 6,000 years old is to completely ignore the scientific method responsible for the development of the technologies we have come to depend on and take for granted in our life. The same investigation of observe reality that led to the conclusion that the earth is billions of years old and we evolved from lesser organisms also led to the cars we drive and the computer I’m typing on.

So when I find websites like creationism.org (no link) which are dedicated to pfomoting anti-science viewpoints by using science and technology, you can image that I find this extremely hypocritcal. I wonder how the disconnect is remedied by those who use science debunk it.
