How do you (and other religious posters) deal with things like evolution?
evolution is based on lose statistics and guesses. i wonder today..... we have men around, we have monkeys around, but.... where is the half breeded monkey+man around just as pictured in the evolusinism graphics?
I have nothing against "believers". I am against "belief". It has been proven over and over again that the process of science is the best way to investigate and understand the universe. The process of science has produced medicines, materials, machines, and for mostly for all a better life. Belief has produced babies dying of AIDS, people getting their heads cut off, schools being burned to the ground with the students inside, 6 million Jews slaughtered
talking about "wrong belief", if you want to be nitpick about the bad thing..... science has created mass destruction weapon that kills millions, science cannot cure AIDS or any viruses. science dont deal with moral. science produced medicine just to be later realized that caused cancer, science has caused obesity due to lazy people relying too much on technological devices etc etc.... religion is the one to make people stay away from prostitution industry and hence AIDS poll, religion is the reference of moral conduct, good behaviour and saveness. etc etc...
some people said religion (not "belief") is the cause of destruction? because:
1) they dont understand what a religion is they never read the book, they made statement without proof, or dont study carefully the cause of it. just as science procedure laid out earlier
2) the people who do destruction they admit they are religious, they maybe somebody else not religious, or not fully understand religion.
case: if someone fanatic shouts "i'm atheist and i will kill anybody who dont" say eventually killed millions.... is it fair for people to say.... "atheism is all about killing"? is that right? is it fair to blame the tool rather than the user? religion is just a tool, like science, its has procedures you need to follow. the problem is not the tool, the problem is the people who uses it, and the people who are ignorant about other things... the peoblem is the "people".
it is agreed science is the best and one of "formalized"
tool so far... but before you making a statement about religious madness or anything, have you done the proper procedure before making the accusation? here re-quoted again...
The scientific method is simply:
1) Question something
2) Make a hypothesis/guess at the answer
3) Come up with a test or series of tests to verify the validity of that hypothesis
4) Analyze the results of the test(s)
5) Re-visit step 2 if necessary
if not, i think you are not both religious and not scientism, you just somebody else with lack of references.
The scientific method is simply: (above)
What limitations do you believe this process is subject to? Of course it can't be used to test something that is untestable,
you answered your own question thanks.
as much as i want to avoid religious discussion... free energy subjects leaked into "design and technical section" very well....
blind faith religion is wrong.
blind faith atheism/agnotism is just as well wrong.
blind faith scientism is just as well wrong.
prejudice is wrong, following what friend/master/teacher's saying without investigating is "blind faith"
and blind faith is wrong...
thats why i entered the thread with the conclusion...
