“...most of the limitations that people have are self-imposed. Most of the limitations we have are not because somebody won't let us do something, it's because we don't want to do what it takes to do something else.” - Rush Limbaugh
“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.” – Dr. Richard Horton, the current editor-in-chief of the Lancet
"I've been in the political realm for 20 years and have been in pro-life advocacy for 30 years. We're nine months into [President Trump's] administration and he's been keeping his word. I'll go back to a Ronald Reagan slogan, 'Trust but verify.' We'll continue to trust and hold him accountable, but we are on track to seeing the most pro-life president this country has ever seen." - Tony Perkins, President of Family Research Council

"What do you think the Devil is going to look like if he's around? Nobody is going to be taken in if he has a long, red, pointy tail. No. I'm semi-serious here. He will look attractive and he will be nice and helpful and he will get a job where he influences a great God-fearing nation and he will never do an evil thing... he will just bit by little bit lower standards where they are important. Just coax along flash over substance... Just a tiny bit. And he will talk about all of us really being salesmen... And he'll get all the great women." - Aaron Altman, Broadcast News

― Robert Jastrow, God and the Astronomers

The scientist is limited to the physical for their evidence. The Christian says there is another dimension called the "eternal" where time and physics are irrelevant. Because science denies the domain of the eternal, any due evidence is "not allowed". (even though science back in 1919 has proven the existence of other dimensions outside of the 4 in which we currently exist). - Rick Schneblin

All sciences are founded on a form math. When it comes to time-based math, such as that used in dating materials, there needs be a constant on which to begin your calculations. If your constant varies, you will have skewed results and false conclusions. Most physical sciences are based on one presupposition. That is, that there is a constant on which to date back and measure change. There is much evidence that entropy and decay effects everything that is of matter and even energy. Science has proven that the universe had a beginning and is decaying over time and dark matter has only reinforced this consideration. Einstein proved that time is a physical property. Others have postulated that the speed of light is slowing down logarithmically--that entropy has decayed time. So what is your constant? On what can you base your math? There really is too many variants to be dogmatic in any of the materialistic sciences--let alone gamble your eternal soul on. - Rick Schneblin

In a post regarding liberals and conservatives.
When it comes to education, I'm a Democrat, but still not a liberal. But I don't see Liberals as evil (except for their leadership, which is composed of criminals USING liberals for personal gain). Liberalism has a worldview that sees human beings as a collective, much like ants or bees. Too much of that leads to totalitarianism by opportunists. Conservatism, on the other hand, sees humanity as individuals, and too much of that leads to anarchy. I don't believe there is such a thing as middle ground, though. We choose what we believe to be right and go with it. People who identify with one or the other and mold their beliefs to the "ISM" are the ones who get in trouble.
I really like your argument. That is why the founders put so much emphasis on the Bible and Christianity. It kept that anarchy at bay, yet still individual, still have rights to private property, yet with an attitude to serve your fellow man.
Exactly! Excellent conclusion. That we are each other's keepers is so foundational to conservatism, yet liberals try to claim exclusive rights to it. At heart we both sincerely seek that end, but history has repeatedly borne out that Liberal attempts to achieve it through a hive mentality always and inevitably fail.
