After browsing through the P&N, it is apparent to me that it's very similar to other debate forums where I have been. The variety of viewpoints and beliefs is primarily due to the manner in which each person uses or does not use logic. Logic is a basic component of every aspect of life, from living it, to studying it. Logic is merely a name for the perception of truth. Used badly, it can be hide or camouflage the truth.
Since logic touches so many things, it is not possible to detail every facet of it, but there are two divisions which can be studied more easily...science and religion. These two avenues are the basis of just about everything else relating to modern life.
Anyone who has read any of my posts already knows that I have a faith which is strongly Christian, so I'm not going to focus on that. Nor am I going to focus strictly on science, but how the two interrelate. Contrary to the beliefs of many, science has alot of builtin fallicies which dominate certain fields of academia.
My purpose is not to attempt to destroy science, because I consider it a very worthwhile endeavor. But, the only way that both science and religion can serve us best, is if we can find a way to make them intermesh, without undue influence of one on the other.
I'm only attempting to set the tone of any discussions that I expect will ensue, without simply using the thread to expound of my thoughts only. I do not want this to simply become a stage for trolls amuse themselves shouting their poorly thought out insults at anyone, but I seriously doubt that will happen. Therefore, I shall say now, that I shall only respond to someone that says something worth responding to, whether I agree with them or not.
So, let's try to keep the subject as logic, not simply science, religion or politics. I invite anyone that wishes to step up to their keyboards and express their thoughts. Since I do not want to dominate the thread, I shall try to keep my mouth shut...as much as I can...however little that might be. I shall keep my posts impersonal, so I hope that the rest of you will also.
