Topic: Is science a religion? - page 16. (Read 47459 times)

I believe Bible is a collection of Bronze Age stories and moral codes.  In today's world it is an utter nonsense.  That is what I know.

There you go, showing your ignorance of the figurative way that the Bible speaks at times. However...

I am pleased that you believe in the Bible, now. So, since you believe in it, you believe in God, because He is the author of it.

I think the problem is you do not know what exactly is in the Bible.

Regarding the flat Eath statements, Bible writers did not know that Earth it is a sphere.  Here is why:

Daniel 4:10-11. the king “saw a tree of great height at the centre of the earth...reaching with its top to the sky and visible to the earth's farthest bounds.”

Matthew 4:8 says, “Once again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world [cosmos] in their glory.”

Revelation 1:7: “Behold, he is coming with the clouds! Every eye shall see him...”

The above statements are only possible on flat Earth.

If you are in Australia, you will not see HIM, when people in New York see HIM. ROFL.

It is consistent with what people in Bronze Age believed.

Care to argue that we were created from clay/dirt and that first woman was created from a rib bone?

Medicine is man's manipulation of a little of God's universe.

Medicine can't make life. God made life.

Medicine can't keep people alive without God having made them alive in the first place.

Medicine is so extremely behind God that it can't even let people live for 200 years. The Bible shows us that many people, several thousand years ago, lived well over 200 years.

Modern medicine is looking in the wrong direction. Modern medicine is rather retarded.

Who am I to contradict that you believe what you said here? You certainly are welcome to believe it, even though you don't know it.

We finally agree on something. The earth is not flat. The thing that we might disagree on is that the Bible says it is flat.

Since you are less educated in some areas than I, thanks for the education compliment.

Medicine is the science which contradicts the existence of God. Religious people believe that everything is in the hands of God, but doctors save a lot more lives than God.

God created science?

That is a delusional comment.

Where is your proof of that?

Science is absolutely NOT religion.

Science theory is something that is not known to be factual.
Thinking that a scientific theory might be factual,
doesn't make the person that thinks this way into a religious person.
Believing that a scientific theory is factual,
starts such a believer on the road towards religion.

Anybody who believes science theory to be factual when it is not known to be factual, has joined with a religious group who has a similar belief about the science theory in question.

The more adamant a person is about a scientific theory being fact, the more he makes it into a religion, or religious cult, for himself.

Consider #6 of the Dictionary.com definition of "religion" at http://www.dictionary.com/browse/religion?s=t: "something one believes in and follows devotedly; a point or matter of ethics or conscience: to make a religion of fighting prejudice." In like manner, anyone who adamantly claims that a science theory is factual, or that all science theory is factual, has made such science theory into a religion for himself.

If a particular science theory were known to be factual, it wouldn't be a theory. It would be science law.

If a particular science theory were known to NOT be factual, it wouldn't be a theory any longer. It would be dropped as a theory.

People who believe that big bang theory, black hole theory, relativity, evolution, and any of many other science theories are science fact, are going against the mass of scientists who acknowledge that these are not know to be fact. Such believers have a science religion or science cult going for themselves.

Science, however, absolutely is NOT religion.

Do you even science?

Science absolutely IS much stronger than fairy tales. The reason is that God created science, but man creates fairy tales.

I got you beat on this. I seldom get sick because God is protecting me. After all, why go through the process of getting sick and then praying to God? Silly thinking. Rather, stay in prayer with God all the time, and don't get sick.



EDIT: I gotta apologize a little. I'm often slow at being the thankful Christian I should be. As they say, laughter can be the best medicine. So, I need to thank you for your posts. The laughter I get from them is actually helping to keep me well.   

Next time you are sick, don't take any medication or look to a Doctor to help you.

Stay home and pray to your god for your health to improve.

Good luck with that one.

Science is much stronger than a fairytale.

The simple reality BADecker is that you are claiming things to be proof of YOUR God.

Therefore, the burden of proof lies with you to prove, not with others to disprove.

Otherwise, I can make ludicrous claims and it would be up to you to prove me wrong.

You link to your own words which are not proof, and you comment on things such as "nature" and "cause and effect" as proof.

Cause and effect is a circular argument and does not prove a god and nature is proven by science.

So, if you are going to claim a god exists..... show some real proof.

None of the things that you have said has been proven by you. Nor do you understand the proofs that others have suggested that they have for any of the things you have said. Because of this, science is a religion for you, even if it is not a religion for many who have relied on the proofs of science, with understanding that science barely shows anything at all, and that God is way beyond and above science.

The machine, nature, is the proof that God exists... proof that even the least intelligent of people can see around them. Isn't it about time that you increased your intelligence to that of the least intelligent?

The world is wider than you can imagine,Just live your life and enjoy.

Homilies can stand forever, because they are conjecture. Theories should be dropped as theories when it is found that they will never be able to be proven - like big bang theory.

The interesting thing about the Bible is, nothing in it has ever been proven false. There are only the things that are proven true, and the things that haven't been proven, yet.

Bible is much stronger than science.

Well here in my place, they say, Science is more on theories, Religion is more on homilies. Science based their belief on theories by using mathematical statements as a proof, Religion based their belief on writings written by the disciples of Jesus Christ.

Ok, let me dumb it down for you. 

How do you know that believing/worshiping in ancestors is not the right religion?
How do you know that your religion is not a false religion?

When it comes to religions people don't know much but they believe in everything their religion says.

But it works another way, as well. When someone tells you that the thing he is showing you is an apple, but he doesn't know that it is an apple, and even admits that he knows that maybe it isn't an apple, but turns around and believes it is an apple without knowing it, what is he? He's a little goofy, perhaps, if he does it only one time.

This is just like scientists who believe that science theory is truth, but they don't know that science theory is truth, and they even tell you that according to the laws of science theorizing that it isn't known to be truth, but they are going to believe it to be truth anyway, don't they have a religion going for themselves? Since they do it over and over?

To be fair to the scientists, often it isn't the scientists that are believing that the theory is truth. Often it is the media and university PR that express that the theory is truth. The people simply follow them and believe the theory is factual, when the media and PR people don't know that it is factual.

Hey. Does anyone want to believe that a bunch of science theory that is not known to be factual, is really fact? That is something that you can do. Just remember. If you do it, you are a little goofy. And maybe you have even turned science into a religion for yourself, if you do it on large scale with many science theories.

That's the whole thing with faith and believing. Someone show's you an apple and tells you it's an apple and shows you that it grows from a tree but then the believer, that believes that apples just fall from the sky as a miracle and even if you point it out to him that it comes from a tree and it's not a miracle at all, he refuses to look and still believes that the apples fall from the sky.

Are you saying you have been wasting time believing in YOUR God?
