Religion: Is it cool?

[jsun3thousand]

how come i didn't get the invite about the smug elitist thread?

[Frank Delicious]

oh I didn't realize we were being snippy, my bad.

I'm not 80.

Like I didn't realize you not understanding how science works meant you were questioning things and thinking outside the box or whatever.

Mize mind ain't ursed to want der sceirntistz callez tinkin outsiz dar boz.

Also please don't turn this into a creation debate.

Awwww man, no Greek mythology.

Sorry bro, I would have responded more seriously but I just respond in kind.

[sunspot]

By "kind" do you mean species as in this "kind" or that "kind" as it relates to creation, in which we can talk about ad nauseum? Or, are you using "kind" in a short-handed way meaning that we are "kindred" brothers from a divisive belief system in which some believe that the universe is on the back of a giant turtle? If "kind" meaning kindred, then let me clarify for the rest of the people: I believe the universe is on the back of an elephant, not a turtle.

Frank and I dispute this all the time.

god only works in your life if you believe in him.

Science works whether you believe it or not.

what sounds more powerful...?

The lack of belief doesn't prove or disapprove the existence of something.

...except religion, fairy tales, or anything else for which there is no evidence.

If you disregard history and archaeology then yes, there is no evidence in which to speak of. To disregard Historiography means to be intellectually dishonest. I'm not saying you are, but to others who may be that way.

I mentioned in one of my earlier posts that science and religion are complementary. A person can get answers from both. Science deals with the external and how things work while religion deals with what is internal and who we are.

[Jerry R]

There is absolutely NO historical, archaelogical, or scientific evidence of god. This is especially true if there is no pre-conceived notion of god.

[jsun3thousand]

You can get answers from a magic eight ball, does that make it complementary to science and religion?

[Frank Delicious]

I am pretty complimentary when I am drunk

[jsun3thousand]

frank, i need to internally know about who we are, lay some knowledge on me. i will considered your wisdom/stupidity equal with science.

[Frank Delicious]

We are all women but only half of us get to realize our true selves.

That's why dudes find lesbians so hot. Two humans in their true selves showing true love.

o man that's so like brilliant. did you major in philosophy or something. i bet it was theology because you have that vibe about you. you should be a guru or something like that, you're like a big round wizard with a halo around your head.

[jsun3thousand]

you know what i like about real, hardcore, positivist science? it doesn't care about democracy. no democracy in Truth.

[Jerry R]

hmmm...girl on girl...maybe there is proof of god...
