People's beliefs will always seem absurd because the basis for belief is outside the realm of conventional wisdom (i.e. what man knows in a scientific sense).
But this fact does not make belief ultimately invalid, because conventional wisdom is
all that science has, and is simply an
acceptable standard for ultimate truth, and not ultimate truth itself. I do not believe that ultimate truths can be uncovered by conventional wisdom.
Those that believe that evolution is an act of God
seems absurd to me as well, but on the other hand I also
believe it to be an ultimate truth.
