With respect, if you really do have a message to get across, may I suggest you get off your high horse and provide lucid comments with clarifying examples rather than the almost entirely condemnatory babble you have indulged in up to now. |
There's no need to pretend respect for something you consider babble. Babble ought not to be respected (1 Tim 6:20; 2 Tim 2:16). That said, I am quite unsure what you found confusing. Could you point to something specific I have said and explain what is confusing about it?

The latter statement presupposes and relies upon the former. Science supposes a great many things which are rationally unjustified within the scientific worldview. For example, the uniformity of nature. If evolutionary theory relies upon science, and science rests upon rationally unjustified (ie, irrational) presuppositions, then evolution is irrational. If you're unsure why the uniformity of nature is rationally unjustified, I would recommend simply trying to rationally justify it.
