How do we know when to accept information as gospel? Can't help but notice all those interesting debates that pit creationists against Darwinists. Both sides stalemated, unable to sway the other's opinion. One group relying on words contained within ancient texts and the other on recent scientific discovery.
Interesting to listen to one side regale about just how fleeting knowledge is. The fact that what is accepted today is always subject to change and yet this same side steadfastly adheres to ancient writings. On the same note, ancient manuscript is rejected by the other side for exactly the same reason, because knowledge has a shelf life and ancient texts had their's expire long ago.
Both sides then agree that in time, information changes. So what gives?
