I think Costco placed fiction on the Bibles they were selling and it caused a big stir and they took it off. To billions this book is fact.

Oh, please.

It's bad enough that you believe a magic man rose from the dead 2000 years ago, but there are no excuses for believing that bullshit.

There are more today dying for their Christian faith then when Christians were being thrown to the lions. It is a fact, not in this country of course, but in the third world.

Science does not claim to have all the answers. That is what makes science honest, as opposed to religion. Religion claims to have all the answers by filling in the gaps of knowledge with god, when it is perfectly clear to any intellectual that the god hypothesis must first be proven before it can even be considered an accurate answer.

Your god called. It said you should jump off a cliff and let Jesus break your fall.

I don't want to put the Lord to the test. Satan tempted Him that way and that is how He responded. What is great about the Lord is the love He has for all even those who scorn Him.

I am not here for me and you could hate me all you want and call me whatever. That doesn't remove you from the fact that the Lord loves all of you and would have you repent and come to Him while there is still time. Not everything can be explained by Science. If the Lord Himself appeared to you I believe you would have trouble believing it. I didn't die for your sins so loath me as you wish.

I doubt you're loathed, our little martyr wanna-be, so much as dismissed. I take it you don't have a single rational reason for your beliefs, and you want us to be just as shamefully irrational as you. Not going to happen.

I hear that line a lot, but it's never really quantified. What can't be explained by science?

Says who?

Are they things that matter? Or is it more "I can't get out of bed in the morning until I know the meaning of life and how the universe came to be, I don't care if it's verified, I just want someone to tell me" angst?

And from that you infer . . . what? Fanaticism is not evidence of the truth of the things the fanatic believes. I understood that when I was a child.

To be perfectly clear, and honest, scientists in general are not attempting to make a claim one way or another in reference to the validity of religion. It is not their job to prove or disprove god so much as it is their job to discover the origin, for lack of a better term first cause, of the universe. It is a fact that science does not have all the answers to all the questions put forth by humanity, though that is not to state science will never discover an answer to any particular question in the future.
