Reply #43: Science has proven that? Really?

[hfojvt]

As far as I know, science cannot prove that the earth is more than one week old. Or more than one hour old. It is only "proven" if you first accept certain postulates about the nature of reality. Postulates which must be assumed. They cannot be proven.

I think it's better to avoid some arguments. If I knock on a door or make a call, it is to convince person X to vote for my candidate. Whether they believe the earth is 6,000 years old or that Joshua fit the battle of Jericho or that Nostradamus predicted that the Patriots will win this weekend or that Fran Tarkenton was the greatest quarterback of all time, and many other ridiculous beliefs, are all beside the point. In fact, if I start arguing with them about it, they will probably become less likely to support my candidate.
