Despite the ...Your Orthodox Scientist friend says:<br /><br />Despite the controversies ("Climategate", etc) the huge independent corroborating data sets that support the global warming hypothesis do appear to substantiate the actual position very clearly. The scientific analysis I have been following on this convinces me, anyway.<br /> <br />Regarding evolution "theory", it's merely a rational hypothesis to explain the diversity of living things. No other alternative physical explanations have stood up to rational and scientific scrutiny. One has to be careful not confute religious faith and creation beliefs with scientific discovery - which is based in hypothesis, observation, etc. Scientific theories always are provisional and can be overturned by new discoveries. as they often are.<br /><br />However, it seems very unlikely that, except for perhaps some as yet not fully understood details relating to epigenetics, evolution through the process of natural selection will be entirely superseded by a a completely different physical explanation which is consistent with normative Judeo-Xtian creation beliefs. Of course, as Torah believers, we know that the explanation for life on earth and its diversity has nothing to do with natural selection, physics, biology, or any other rational scientific reason (but, in principle, it could have been that way if one assumes the non-existence of, or no physical/rational evidence for, an omnipotent supernatural Creator - which is the whole concept of "hester panim" - is it not?). <br /><br />Therefore, I think it is logically correct and fitting for Gabriel Avital to be dismissed, because he is allowing religious belief to influence his scientific reasoning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
