He must be miserable, (cough - cough)

BWHAHAHA

So what?  Happens all of the time...people doubt something they believe in.  Scientists often doubt the validity of some theories.

Here is an article from Scientific American about atheist scientists who doubt Darwin:  http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/cross-check/2010/07/06/dubitable-darwin-why-some-smart-nonreligious-people-doubt-the-theory-of-evolution/

gg, no problem the archbishop has doubts, that's healthy and shows he thinks and reflects about his beliefs..and is secure enough to tell the public, that is admirable.

 

it's the fundamentalists that think they are right becuase they they are right and have no doubts and think thay have they answers are unhealthy and dangerous, that's why i posted it.

 

second your first attempt at the doubter thing was an epic fail, i thought this might be better, did you even read the article, here are some excerpts. the article prolly makes the oppossitte point that you were trying to make. and by the way it is an opinion piece, not a scientific article.

 

you still do not get that ALL OF SCIENCE IS BASED ON DOUBT AND DISAGREEMENT AND TRYNG TO PROVE ITSELF AND EVERYONE DOING IT WRONG - THAT WHY WE KNOW ITS TRUE.

so your attempts to uncover some conspiracy or whatever are both dishonest, deliberaltely misleading  and ignorant;

deal with it, Darwin will be known as one of the greatest thinkers of all time, Ken hmas and Hovind are losers.

some excerpts (my bold);

".....

The philosopher Daniel Dennett once called the theory of evolution by natural selection "the single best idea anyone has ever had." I’m inclined to agree. But Darwinism sticks in the craw of some really smart people. I don’t mean intelligent-designers (aka IDiots) and other religious ignorami but knowledgeable scientists and scholars.

Take, for example, the philosopher Jerry Fodor of Rutgers University and the cognitive scientist Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini of the University of Arizona in Tucson. In What Darwin Got Wrong (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2010), these self-described atheists argue that the theory of natural selection is "fatally flawed." Their book, which I reviewed for The Philadelphia Inquirer, is, well, fatally flawed. For example, they air familiar debates over how large a role contingency plays in evolution; whether natural selection operates primarily at the level of genes; why certain clusters of genes persist unchanged for eons. Fodor and Piattelli-Palmarini wrap up the discussion of each debate with the same kicker: natural selection must be wrong.

But saying debates over contingency, levels of selection and gene conservation disprove evolutionary theory is like saying debates over the formation of Saturn’s rings disprove heliocentrism. If you’re going to shoot the king, the old saying goes, you had better kill him. Fodor and Piattelli-Palmarini don’t even wound Darwin. What Darwin Got Wrong nonetheless serves as a useful reminder of more coherent complaints about natural selection.

........

Is it possible that some future genius will discover an alternative that supplants Darwinism as our framework for understanding life? Will we ever look back on Darwin as brilliant but wrong?

......."

 

Even God rested on the 7th day VK...try it, I doubt anyone will miss you...

I did read the article.  You need to relax vk.   I don't do conspiracy theories.  My only point was that many people doubt beliefs every single day----big deal.  Period.  

Well said, ggturner!!

Sooner or later vk4 will doubt his own religion too about that he came from a rock 4.6 billion year's ago lol

oh shtal's had his nap and back here to repeat all the same fallacious garbage that has been de-bunked ad naseum.

funny thing is, you would claim man was made from dust 6000 years ago, seems like the bible says all our relatives were rocks, only real science says we are not.

is jeebus not your rock shtal?

and for the record, not that you listen, i am not part of a religion no matter how much you try claim evolution or atheism is a religion, it's just not.

does not matter how desperate you are to try claim creationism and science are both equal cos they are both religion.

now show me the dating tool creationists have invented that has been accepted by the wider scientific community to date objects and we can have a conversation.
