> > Tony: This certainly sums up my criticism of science, from a biblical standpoint, namely the assumption that "all things are continuing exactly as they were from creation's beginning." Yes, they "deliberately ignore" that there is another version of events that is at odds with their own. Perhaps if they paid attention and let it inform their research they might discover something they didn't know.
