willy and the priest

Willy, a prisoner convicted of bank robbing was asked by a priest, "Why do you rob banks?" Willy replied, "Because that's where the money is".

that is the willy sutton case on questioning. this partly, maybe entirely sums up what's going on between science and religion. the priest's question came with a purpose, an intent, a predisposition. willy's answer, which is simply logical, answers the priest's question, even though the purpose of the question has not been served. the priest was asking "why do you rob banks when it is the wrong thing to do".....that was the purpose, to show that it was the wrong. but willy answered the question from a different angle, be it a tangent.......he answered the question "why do you rob banks rather than, say drug stores?" even though the answer did not meet the purpose of the question, willy answered the priest...that is all that there is to it.

this is the problem today, even when science can answer, not just preach nor convince, but ANSWER questions from religious people, it's not the answer that they want to hear. i've seen this for myself, and im only 17....which means this country is a terrible place to live in. i've seen how religious people question everything science has to say with bias. just because the answer did not lean towards the biased perception, it doesnt mean its wrong. no matter how you look at it, 1+1=2.....2 is the answer, whether you can accept it or not.

suffering from writer's block, so i'll stop here.
