It is the "ignoring all evidence if said evidence doesn't match the theory" part, not the induction vs deduction part, which differentiates the "religious method" from the scientific method. For example, there are certain people who believe that the world was created in seven days some 16,000 years ago. Any evidence to the contrary, such as analysis of decay products of radioactive substances showing a much longer lifespan for the planet Earth, is utterly ignored. They pretty much do a Sergeant Schultz, "I hear no- THINK! I see no-THINK!". This is the "religious method". BTW, my Unitarian Jihad name is Brother Hand Grenade of Rationality . (If you don't know what I'm talking about, Google "Unitarian Jihad", one of satirist Jon Carroll's most brilliant creations). -E> > if said evidence doesn't match the theory, which is called the "religious method". > > Switched over to "NKLR", so that I can bicker: > > Both induction *and* deduction are part of "scientific method":

Eric, I'll go out on a limb here--at the risk of a few concerted chuckles: IRT to your post: (ERIC'S WORDS) For example, there are certain people who believe that the world was created in seven days some 16,000 years ago. Any evidence to the contrary, such as analysis of decay products of radioactive substances showing a much longer lifespan for the planet Earth, is utterly ignored. Yes, those zealots are annoying I am deliberately being kind. It is actually pointless to engage them in any kind of `faith-based' OR scientific discussion. Smile. They have forgotten their heritage of discussion and discovery, as well as searching to know the entire content or who and what God can do Enough of throwing stones. My favorite phrase gleaned at seminary, to those that purport the thoughts you have suggested, "Quiet frankly, the evidence God left behind of his creative process, does not substantiate that theory (literal seven-day creation). Why would God leave a trail of evidence (geological and astronomical) that would suggest otherwise?" And so, we ponder the creation, and marvel at it complexity, its intricacies, and some suggest that it was all a fluke; a colossal cosmic accident. Cough. A fluke? Now that is what I would suggest as preposterous. YMMV. shrug. I suppose to some, I am a heretic for saying otherwise, but I easily see the creation we can observe has been in the process, 15billion+ years in the making. shrug. How can that be? It is a function of how time is measured. The God of creation, his time continuum is THE ETERNAL NOW, something that the human mind has difficulty comprehending, but Einstein was very close. Suffice to say, God does not measure time as we do. So, a creation requiring a billion years or a day --shrug--he is/remains the captain of the eternal now. Something to ponder has your KLR thumps you towards a day/wekend of happiness. revmaaatin. who is still trying to wrap my arms around all the learning-stuff offered for digestion in my first 52y11m of life> brilliant creations). > > -E

Now, for my 2 cents...
I won't suggest anyone has been slandered just yet, but there is an often-cited authority that is translated as saying the earth was created in 6 days, not 7, and the 7th day was a day of rest. As evidenced on this site, whether this should be taken as literal days or not is the subject of some debate, but here's how it was explained to me: Given that any entity has the power to create the universe in 6 days, it would likely also have the power to make it appear to have taken 6 bazillion years, or whatever timeframe suits it's ultimate purpose. Maybe that is too simplistic for some. I'm OK with it.

I think that my faith in biblical authority began to wane very early
in life, and the creation story was probably the one that sowed the
first seed of doubt. Even a kid has to wonder who observed the
process described in Genesis, or to whom the story was related at a
later time, and by whom/what. In other words, how did the human author
of Genesis come to know what happened before there were humans? Later
in the Bible God has humans to interact with, so one might postulate
some kind of oral history thread that preserves the memory of early
events like the flood. Other divine revelations are described as
coming from God in direct discourse, such as Moses and the burning
bush -- also unlikely but at least containing the citation of a
source, and arguably within the orbit of human observation. But
nowhere in the creation story is there any explanation of how it came
to be known, which lends it low authenticity even by fantastical
biblical standards.
