While many in main stream science claim to be atheist and believe in the Big Bang and the eventual Deep Freeze due to entropy. Is it not curious to consider that the very underpinnings of this belief is based on mathematics, was it too created in the big bang? if so how was it constructed? one digit at a time?

I think not it has always been there and will always remain its an eternal masterpiece that permeates every conceivable facet or reality yet in its self it is purely abstract. Without it nothing would exist, but it in itself it is nonexistent and existent at the same time. It is the language of the living universe. Its permutations are infinite, yet it did not grow, it has always been complete and eternal.         


How big is your consciousness and what shape does it have?



The relationship between religion and science has been a subject of study since classical antiquity, addressed by philosophers, theologians, scientists, and others. Perspectives from different geographical regions, cultures and historical epochs are diverse, with some characterizing the relationship as one of conflict, others describing it as one of harmony, and others proposing little interaction.

Science acknowledges reason, empiricism, and evidence, while religions include revelation, faith and sacredness whilst also acknowledging philosophical and metaphysical explanations with regard to the study of the universe. Both science and religion are complex social and cultural endeavors that vary across cultures and have changed over time.[1] Most scientific and technical innovations prior to the scientific revolution were achieved by societies organized by religious traditions. Elements of the scientific method were pioneered by ancient pagan, Islamic, and Christian scholars. Roger Bacon, who is often credited with formalizing the scientific method, was a Franciscan friar.[2] Hinduism has historically embraced reason and empiricism, holding that science brings legitimate, but incomplete knowledge of the world. Confucian thought has held different views of science over time. Most Buddhists today view science as complementary to their beliefs.

Events in Europe such as the Galileo affair, associated with the scientific revolution and the Age of Enlightenment, led scholars such as John William Draper to postulate a conflict thesis, holding that religion and science have been in conflict methodologically, factually and politically throughout history. This thesis is held by some contemporary scientists such as Richard Dawkins, Steven Weinberg and Carl Sagan, and some creationists. While the conflict thesis remains popular for the public, it has lost favor among most contemporary historians of science.[3][4][5][6][7][8]

Many scientists, philosophers, and theologians throughout history, such as Francisco Ayala, Kenneth R. Miller and Francis Collins, have seen compatibility or independence between religion and science. Biologist Stephen Jay Gould, other scientists, and some contemporary theologians hold that religion and science are non-overlapping magisteria, addressing fundamentally separate forms of knowledge and aspects of life. Some theologians or historians of science, including John Lennox, Thomas Berry, Brian Swimme and Ken Wilber propose an interconnection between science and religion, while others such as Ian Barbour believe there are even parallels.

Public acceptance of scientific facts may be influenced by religion; many in the United States reject the idea of evolution by natural selection, especially regarding human beings. Nevertheless, the American National Academy of Sciences has written that "the evidence for evolution can be fully compatible with religious faith", a view officially endorsed by many religious denominations globally Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Good. I'm tierd and need to go to bed anyway. Good luck trolling the forum  Smiley

Who knows? I might even do some trolling someday. But, there isn't any such thing as luck. Everything was set in place by cause and effect.

I am not really interested enough in smocking to attempt to understand your question, or to answer it.

Do you mean smoking? Or do you mean mocking? Or might you even mean something else?

Cool

Smocking is an embroidery technique used to gather fabric so that it can stretch. Before elastic, smocking was commonly used in cuffs, bodices, and necklines in garments where buttons were undesirable. Smocking developed in England and has been practised since the Middle Ages and is unusual among embroidery methods in that it was often worn by laborers. Other major embroidery styles are purely decorative and represented status symbols. Smocking was practical for garments to be both form fitting and flexible, hence its name derives from smock — a farmer's work shirt. Smocking was used most extensively in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

But big bang is something that has not been proven to exist. Because of the kind of thing it would be, it probably will never be proven. But, even if it were prove possible, if can never be proven to be the thing that started the universe.

According to the definition of "religion" - http://www.dictionary.com/browse/religion?s=t - everyone has religion, even atheists. For the atheists, atheism is their religion.

Cool


But the "Big bang theory" is a scientific theory, scientists are constantly looking for evidence to support or disprove the theory and look for alternatives.

You dont hear the religious state "the God theory" or "Jesus theory", you just blindly accept what is written in an old book and never look for validation.

Science has created modern society not religion.

This is the whole point about big bang theory.

There is no theory of God or Jesus, because those who believe, understand God to be real without having formulated a theory about Him.

Science formulated theories because they were and are honestly trying to find out what is real. Their theories start to become religion when they start to believe that they are true and real, even though they don't know that they are true and real.

Many people believe big bang to be real. Big gang is theory. So, believing it to be real is forming a religion about it. When they do this with many theories, like relativity, evolution, and black hole, they are turning science into a religion for themselves.

Cool

So you are in that gang that says my book is right , because my book says it's true without researching it

I didn't even know you had a book. What does your book say is true?

Cool
I didn't say I had a book

Well, say it again, a different way. Because it sure sounded like you were saying that you had a book.

No it isn't. Stop lying

Okay. Keep on lying. After all, from the definition #6: something one believes in and follows devotedly; a point or matter of ethics or conscience.

For sure those atheists that adamantly push their atheism forward have a religion of atheism.

No, science is a belief system based on any evidence which is present in the world as to how things work.  Science can be interpreted through the perspective of several different religions (for instance, I wouldn't see any theists deny the concept of gravity, they would just believe that it was created by God or gods).  Religion is more of a theory based on perspective of the world - one could argue that everything discovered through science was created by God as God is supposed to be an eternal being who has always existed and therefore could even have created, for example, the Big Bang.

Even atheism isn't a religion, it's just the absence of religion and is therefore a default of sorts, although arguably some branches of atheism are religions in themselves (humanism, satanism etc).
