Re: Science Flaws
Sorry, I just wanted to further explain why the concept of "why" is so important to me in regards to the topic at hand:
Think about any criminal investigation....what are the things that any good detective will look for? Well of course he'll look at the facts and the circumstance of the case, but he'll also try to figure out a motive! Motive (or intent) has solved many a case -- without one shred of physical evidence. Thus, the concept of "Why" is extremely powerful. "Why" can often be used just as well as physical evidence can. Occasionally, despite any physical evidence, a lack of a good motive can exhonerate a suspect. Of course the best scenerio for any investigator is when "why" corresponds to the physical evidence.
Likewise, anyone who reads mystery books will envitably consider each possbile scenerio as it relates to "why." If "why" is not answered sufficiently in the reader's mind before the mystery is revealed, then he will have to continue his search by reading further. Until "Why" is found, the mystery will indefinately continue. Life is the universe's biggest mystery. If one is to consider the theory of evolution (theory of blind chance) as a legitimate answer, then a rational concept of "why" should be harmoniosly linked to it. However if no "why" is found, I think the theory should be seriously questioned. Our universe is full of questions and answers, most of which do not rely merely on chance. "Why" simply verifies the answers that we find.
In stark contrast, the foundation of Creationism STARTS with "why" and allows humans to fill in the details.
