That's like saying until we know why the sun appears to move in the sky, Apollo pulling the sun via horse-drawn carriage dominates.
Uncertainty isn't dominated by assertions with no evidence. Especially when much of those assertions (the Flood, man "returning" to dust, etc) have been proven false.

Personally, I wouldn't want to move to a tax free environment, no. As a Christian, I moved overseas to do what I then thought was walking the walk and working with the poor and living on a local wage. So, no, I was not the slightest bit interested in moving to one of the richest countries in the world and paying no tax. I feel the same about such things now, even having lost my faith.
Was there a hole in your pocket?

So you are welcome to judge me from where you are sitting.

My, you have a thick skull.
So be it.
I am on the side of creation, without knowing for certain who that Creator is.
I have an open mind.
Atheists have a closed mind.
You cannot explain evolution, yet you are dead sure that it is all wrong.
You cannot explain creation, yet your are dead sure that it is the divine truth.
Why not use the same standards? Why not be consequent?
This is the difference between religion and science. The only proof needed for religious beliefs is faith, nothing more. You don't have to know anything, faith is enough.
Science demands observations to back up a theory. It demands knowledge to understand the theory. And it appreciate criticism to evolve further. Therefore knowledge is put upon knowledge to know yet more.
Science is never happy when someone refer to faith, faith is not just enough.
In religion knowledge is not important. "Creation?" "Don't know, but it is the divine truth!" "How he did it?" "Don't know, but it is not important."
And if you're not mindlessly believe in creation you are thick-skulled?
I'm really happy that I am not christian.
Thank you Chaney for your lessons!
