Evidence is evidence.

Um … Yeah! If i observe a star that is one billion light years away, I am looking a REAL TIME scientific data that is one billion years old. Na-na na-na boo-boo[Image: making-bronx-cheer-smiley-emoticon.gif]

If science cannot give proofs on social morals then how it can give proofs on certain human feelings like love, hate, etc. Social morals are dependent over human feelings and emotions.
Wrong. Emotions are chemical based, morals are society based.

Only “yes” is not sufficient. Evidence please!

IATIA Wrote: There is no such thing.

"The laws of science, as we know them at present, contain many FUNDAMENTAL NUMBERS, like the size of the electric charge of the electron and the ratio of the masses of the proton and the electron. ... The remarkable fact is that the values of these numbers seem to have been VERY FINELY ADJUSTED to make possible the DEVELOPMENT OF LIFE."

An appeal to authority and I disagree with him. In fact, I disagree with a lot of Hawking's ideas.

Yes(s) and No(s) are not sufficient. EVIDENCE PLEASE!
Put the bible down and read some books. If I thought you were truly interested, I would be more than willing to help out, but I think you already have your mind made up. A correct answer is found in volumes of books. Much more than a forum can deal with or that you would bother to read.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.
-- Superintendent Chalmers

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.
-- The Rev Lovejoy
