I have noticed a tendency amongst most of those who do not believe in evolution to promote as fact a large number of claims which I am fairly sure they either know are falsehoods or simply do not know the validity of. I also notice that even when they have been shown that they are clearly wrong about some of their claims, they will often not admit it, or if they do will still refuse to question any of the other claims they hold.
I often wonder to what extent they know they do the above and how they reconcile such behavior with the claim to being Christian.
For example robbie carrobie recently had this to say about evolution:
"its nothing more than a hypothesis, cannot be proven, is full of contradiction and has no basis in reason nor can it claim to be scientific, and the evidence against it is overwhelming to say the least, see the fossil record, see experiments with mutations, see attempts to create amino acids, see the so called transmigration of species, see the complexity of dna, see mathematical probability etc etc. so i do not buy it my friend, no siree!"
Now the above is rather vague, but I am sure that if he expanded on each of his claims a little it would be relatively trivial to show that at least one of them is a falsehood. Yet I sincerely doubt he will ever admit to it, yet he has claimed elsewhere that he follows Jesus' teachings.
