your question is poorly phrased
It most certainly isn't. I know, that's just my subjective assessment. But i understand the question. You don't. What gives?
a shallow attempt to exalt science .......assuming science to be a trump card
It's not assuming anything. It's a valid, fair question. YOU are assuming here. This thread is about verifiable evidence after all, and under THAT context: You either verify or you make empty unsubstantiated claims. Falsifying is a necessary element in an argument for creationism, when talking about verifiable evidence.
You made an assumption, then based your conclusion on said assumption, without evidence. You are actually arguing FOR the side opposite of yours with this kind of behavior. Again, debate forum, again, the topic is about verifiable evidence.
And you SPECIFICALLY try to keep it faith-based.
science can lead you to the 'point' of decision
it cannot make the choice for you
You accused others of assuming science to be a trump card. Yet the premise for your claim here is that your claim must be true without question. You assert. Without evidence. You assume.
But you're right in theory: Science isn't a conscious intelligence. It won't make choices. People make choices.
Spirit first?
or substance?
This thread isn't about your stupid question. It remains stupid unless you can verify its premise. You are ASSUMING spirit. You haven't evidenced it. This thread is about verifiable evidence for creationism. NOT your faith-based question. NOT your faith-based argument.
Furthermore, you refuse to give definitions when asked. You specifically ask people to answer BLINDLY; without knowing what they're supposed to answer. ONLY for you to THEN make up the criteria by which you will judge our answers. You refuse to submit your criteria beforehand: It weakens your point.
You expect people to answer randomly almost, you said so much yourself: Just pick one, don't think about it. That makes the question meaningless. You just want to have an excuse to proselytize.
You using a faith-based argument when you're specifically asked for an evidence based one shoots your OWN STANCE IN THE FOOT.
