If you believe that lying is morally wrong, what is the difference between lying (claiming, for example, that speciation has never been observed) and pretending your claim has never been refuted successfully (saying that the experiments demonstrating speciation never happened)? Aren't both lies?
I ask because I'm trying to understand why the people who want me to believe in their RELIGIOUS beliefs about creation and the superiority of their religion seem to play very hard and fast with the truth, and I'm pretty sure they aren't supposed to lie to begin with, according to their religion.
(Oh, and for those who'd like to attack me for asking this, posts begining "you atheists" will be ignored. I'm not an atheist.)
The answer that seems to make the most sense to me is that these people find lying 100% okay if it furthers their god, and I know I'm not interested in a god who'd be furthered by lies.
