Just wondered if there was a correlation with those who believe in religion.
When both of my ears were still wet, the possibility amused me. My view today? Of course not!

However I remain firmly in the camp that certain evidences combined with a good theory and the lack of an acceptable alternative, does not constitute the truth. As in the theory of the evolution of all life from single celled creatures for example.

What is your opinion of other scientific theories, such as Relativity, Quantum theory, or the Big Bang Theory?
Do you reject all science, or only when it suits you? Or do you remain agnostic until you have reason to believe otherwise?

So it should be reasonable to think that there would be some evidence
of common descent.

Originally posted by sonhouseI've been to the museum in Roswell NM and after going there I think it was a weather balloon or some type of silver dirigible. The dudes (Air force personnel) holding the silver material did not seemed alarmed at all in the pictures they were smiling so I think it was what it was.
What about Roswell? Do you think it was a ufo.
