While I wouldn’t want to argue these are the only two delineations between people I would agree
that this is an irreducible philosophical disagreement. It is a basic assumption in almost every
philosophy. I would suggest your above exposition is a bit biased in its phrasing but I won’t
quibble after all the discussions we’ve had. However, it seems to me you and I, who stand on
opposite sides of this issue, are in fact more alike in many ways than many individuals who
supposedly agree with our separate views. |

They simply have different beliefs and personalities, it doesn't mean they're different species' or
anything. |

Uh, I'll give you points for coming up with a unique theory justsumguy, but sorry, it's not right.
There are not two opposite humans, there are just humans. We've wrestled with religion through
centuries, even among the major world religions there are variations on our origins and eternity and
they've challenged each other without end.
And what your observations are really showing is in the contemporary Western world you have a) the
extremely religious who resist pure science explanations, b) the extremely scientific who reject
pure religious explanations, and c) a much larger swath of people in the middle who either don't
have an answer or believe in a combination of both. To me, the expression "the truth is somewhere
in the middle" is most likely correct because neither the extremely simple events of Genesis nor the
miracle that evolution could raise us to what we are now is completely true by themselves. |

No, there are way more opposite personalities or opinions than two. I do agree with your theory, but
there are other differences than that. Its like the old saying, there are two types of people in
this world, people who think there are two types, and people who don't. |

There are more than two. We are all opposites in some respects, and the same in others. Life
experience dictates who you are. I don't think you can categorise that into just two groups. |

I don't think everyone fits into one of these two categories. |

We appear to be speaking of subjectivity when mentioning people’s beliefs in this debate. With
that said, I only disagree on the premise that I think there is a third type of person. That person
being one who believes that the partial opinion of a person is always correct in a subjective sense,
but is never correct when concerning objectivity. Therefore, this type of person, though they may
not agree with the other’s beliefs, will not simply claim them to be false, as subjectivity cannot
necessarily be “false” in an objective fashion. An example would be one person claiming tomatoes
taste good and another claiming that they do not. Which person is correct? Subjectively, both are
technically correct, as a subjective thought exists only within the mind of that person.
Objectively, neither are correct, as a subjective statement cannot be “correct” or
“incorrect” in an impartial implication. |
