Default Re: Ken Miller: scientist and believeing Catholic

[ QUOTE ]
How can you be a non theist if you think the evidence for evolution is weak? You could I suppose be convinced that there is a non god like creator but I would venture to say that almost anyone who rejects the evidence for evolution has to think that a divine creator now becomes somewhat likely.

I see what you're saying but I think you're setting up a false dichotomy. If the evidence for evolution were really so bad, secular people would come up with all kinds of alternative theories that did fit the available evidence. They wouldn't be forced to turn to God as some kind of default.

NR is the one who wants us to believe that his rejection of evolution was arrived at purely through examination of the evidence, and totally independent of his religiosity.

If this is true, why would I be so confident that I'd lay 20:1 or better that the "qualified scientists" he refers to above are Christians?
