The model on the right is insulting. :) I would never presume to be exceptionally more intelligent than any people group. I'm clearly smarter than you and everyone who commented here because I understand, practice and can jump back and forth from the model on the left and the "real" model that the one on the right was loosely based on. So there. *snarky voice*
A few years on and still the same self satisfied misinterpretation of those who profess a religious faith.
If I applied your "understanding" of those of faith to the world of science I could say that scientists were venal and egotistical and oly interesting in selecting "evidence" so suit their own preconceptions, or at least the ones that they think will get them a book or two or the seat as a professor somewhere. But, I don't, because I know that not all - by far - scientists are ike that; although some are ego and finance driven. It's not all the selfless pursuit of knowledge for the common good; and neither is it all self interst. It's a balance.
I know many lovers of logic, scientists, engineers, doctors, technicians who have no problem reconciling what they do with their faith.
This blog persists in labelling those of faith as intolerant, dogatic fundamentalists despite the huge wealth of evidence offered here and elsewhere to the contrary. If it should ever cross your mind you should thank the faithful who do not damn you forf the lies and ignorance you peddle, but patiently try to tell you that they do not think how and what you say they think. But, if you did that then your currency here would be devalued so you don't.
Now, how about improving your "theory" should you be in the business of seeking truth?

The model on the right forgot to include "rationalize existing evidence to fit your preconceived conclusions"
:-)
The one on the right skipped the 'kill all contradicting evidence' bit, too.
crusades anyone?
seriously though, XD

I'll take that as sarcasm Sadie.... [grin]

You catch my drift.

So what method do you use for faith issues? If new evidence arises do you change your beliefs?
"So what method do you use for faith issues? If new evidence arises do you change your beliefs?"
Evidence against what?
If you hold a belief - any belief - and new evidence arises (in any form) do you change your beliefs?
It's a fairly simple question...
