The big difference is that those scientists are probing, testing and trying to work towards understanding. Religion cannot claim to be credably doing any of that since all that we need to know is laid down in the bible, no need to look any further--just a burning need to get non-religious types to accept it's teachings as fact. (Trying to teach ID in schools science lessons is the latest attempt at that.)

So whats the
point of having an argument?
I always thought it was to get your idea(s) across in such a way that the person you are arguing with has to acknowledge that you are right.......whats wrong with that, for crying out loud?

If I started preaching to you about how to get saved, you'd see what I was up to, right? Does that mean you're recognising the validity of my argument? Or is that different?

Nothing wrong with that; and if you could demonstrate to me that you were correct in your argument and I was wrong in mine, I would
obviously change my original outlook to your viewpoint
