Putting on blinders, having a blind spot, it all means the same thing. I just don't see what you're saying. I won't give your ideas or hearing. I don't like the sound of it. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 18:20, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

: Which group are you suggesting has the blind spot? Or is it both? The goal of natural sciences is to describe the universe as it appears in the best way possible without invoking "this is not understandable" or "this is caused by something super natural." It does not deny the beauty of creation and often finds even more beauty (in the way a mathematician would describe beauty[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_beauty] "Mathematics is the language in which God wrote the universe." -- Galileo Galilei) in the subtleties of natural laws. There is no attempt by science to disprove the existence of God; there are, however, scientists who argue that both attempts to prove God's existence (and thus rationalize one's faith) or attempt to disprove science by invoking God are flawed approaches. The nature of God is a different realm of inquiry than what science as a whole is.
: I am also dismayed at AiG claiming that Christians and evolutionists have incompatible views. This is not what I believe, nor what I was taught (in a Catholic high school nonetheless). There are Christians who have difficulty putting on the glasses that AiG attempts to claim. I also wish to point people to http://www.answersincreation.org/ which addresses much of AiG and young earth ministries. --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 18:43, 6 April 2007 (EDT)
