"Lets say that at some point in the near future a world was found on which lived beings with an intelligence and self awareness like our own along with society , religion and culture . These Beings have a religion that contains a story that says their world was created by a deity 3000 years after when literal Genesists say the earth was created ( ie . if now , this would make their universe 3000 years old ) . When the religious members of each race discover the others beliefs , it causes much consternation as both claim to have the truth of God on their side . How would each group of literal belivers react to the other ? the Genesists say the Beings story can not be correct because the Bible is the word of God and it records 6000 years of history . The Beings can not accept the history of Genesis as it claims th universe existed 3000 years before their holy text records the creation of the universe and their first members by their God . Both claim to have the evidence of the word of God in their holy books , and their respective histories are truth . But their truth 's disagree ........ who is `` right `` who has the real `` truth `` ?"
"Why even set this in sci-fi ? We 've got heaps of religions on the known world . Here 's one for you ... say a number of people entered a debate forum with the purpose of defending 'evolution ' which follows 'scientific method ' . They dispute religion because they say , 'if religion is true , .... which one ? ' . Then someone shows them that evolution is not an homogenous theory ; not only are there different modes of theories of evolution ; materialism , ID-theory , etc , but even within their version ( materialism ) there 's different conflicting theories , some of which are mutually exclusive . Further to that , many of their notions about science are n't scientific , but based on philosophies of science ; such as their false belief that there 's only one 'scientific method ' , or that materialism , itself , is the only method of evolutionary theory . And to top it all off , science ca n't actually determine what is true , anyway . So they 're arguing against a belief in certainty from a belief in uncertainty . They deride people 's beliefs in God , etc , as being irrational , or illogical , but do n't even realise the faulty basis of their own assumptions about evolutionary science . How do they react to this revelation ? I would guess that there would be howls of protests , lots of ad hominems etc . This of course does n't disprove 'evolution ' , but they do n't even look to that , they 're too busy attacking someone who 'd dare question their a priori notions about science . That is , in this 'hypothetic forum ' I 'm talking about"
