I found this mornings

I found this mornings session informative. I learned that the purpose of science is not prove that something is 100% correct but rather that a summary works. Science is set to prove what things are wrong. Paul took us through several examples of this. I was intrigued when asked to decide rather or not the earth was round or flat. At first this seemed to be an easy question to answer based on what we are taught but by the end of the disscussion I was left questioning I had learned. We were given several more questions of this type and at the end I always questioned what I had been taught. The only question that has not raised doubt in my mind was the one determining the creation of all life including humans. For this one my faith in a higher being and the existence of the human soul is to strong to sway me to think differently.
