Creationism and Truth
[Link: www.plesiosaur.com...]
Richard Forrest, a commenter at The Spectator on the Melanie Phillips article, makes this observation at his website:
If you are a creationist you should consider carefully the following passage from Steve Jones excellent book ‘Almost like a Whale’ which presents the science/faith dilemma more clearly than I could: “To deny truth on grounds of faith alone debases both science and religion. This point was made by Galileo himself. Summoned to explain his views, and their conflict with Scripture, he argued that the Church had no choice but to agree with the discoveries of science. It would, he said be ‘a terrible detriment for the souls if people found themselves convinced by proof of something that it was made a sin to believe’. Creationists have not yet faced that fact.”
