Prove religion right and I'll stop posting ;)


That's the point. There's no proof either way, so making definitive statements in either direction as though you have a lock on the truth is just plain retarded. :(

And as a non-Christian, I can see the flaws in your argument because of my own ability to reason.  :(  So what's your explanation for that one?


You see flaws in being individualistic and living one's life through one's own perception, because all you do is live how a BOOK tells you to.

At least Science is on the right track, and has been on the right track starting around 500 years ago at least intellectually.

Actually, that's not true either. I have a holy book, but it doesn't exactly have a complete and coherent philosophy, much of it was borne out of my own reason and ability to perceive the world.

Your ignorance regarding religion and the way that you lump all religions into being Christians is just ridiculous, man. :(

Science is on the right track of understanding the things that science can try to answer. There are many questions where science has no dominion.

There are many religions that believe in creationism, ignorance senses tingling.

It wasn't an insult, it was a point. I'm starting to get used to you religious daredevils being retarded, honestly.
Christians see flaws in what I perceive because they are told to, it preys on the very primitive fear of the unknown. Rebel not against what you cannot see! Basically, don't let those pesky Atheist jerks tell you you're wrong, because hey....you're going to heaven and they're not, and if you don't believe that then you're doomed to eternal damnation in hell!

Arguing with you is like arguing with a "Christian activist".

What started the universe? Life?

And there are many religious perspectives that believe in divinely-guided evolution and which have absolutely zero contradiction with science.

So, y'know.

Which means that Science has prevailed over the majority of creationist religions, with the recent developments in Evolution and Cosmology.

Yes they do contradict Science, because Science was never trying to EXPLAIN those religions, it was merely trying to explain an OBSERVED PHENOMENA.

Explain to me any observed phenomena that can be Tested in any manner relating to Religion.

Surprisingly, the scientific method works better with science than religion. Gz on figuring that one out.

Also, wat is that shit in the second line? No matter what Science was trying to do, if the two don't butt heads at any point then there's no contradiction. :(
