What does it tell us, as non-fundamentalists, about fundamentalists who say, "see scientists always changing their mind, what does that tell you" similar to the discussion regarding evolution, where fundamentalists say "see, they are changing their mind, and the data/Theory is always changing".
I had a discussion about a dinosaur in instant message, and I explained there was a dinosaur 70 million years ago that had cancer, thus making a literal interpretation of Genesis impossible, since the first homo sapiens don't show up until 300,000 years ago.
I was asked a series of questions, equivalent of "His Noodly Appendage plays with the machine." She said "the water was purer before the fall of man". At that point I realized, this is not a science discussion any more.
What do the views of fundamentalists regarding the ongoing debates within science, that these debates show "they don't know"; teach us about their own world view?
