The Problem with Christians

[Esquilax]

How do you reconcile the theories of extra dimensions and SCIENTIFIC fact? No one's proven that they exist but yet many scientists are convinced that they are real. 

Are you... are you seriously stressing the word "theory" as if to draw a distinction between them and facts? As in, "it's just a theory!"?



Dude, you really need to actually do even cursory research into the basics of what you're talking about before you decide you're sufficiently conversant with it to form a cogent position on it. Here, let me do it for you in this case: "A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation." A theory in science isn't distinct from a fact, a theory is made of multiple facts, posed as an explanation of why they happen.

So to be clear: you have a position on certain aspects of biology that disagrees with the supported, mainstream conclusions of countless trained scientists... despite not understanding basic elements not only of the subject itself, but science in general. And you want us to take this seriously because you can't think of a solution to various problems with the science that you have, but apparently have not bothered to research before deciding that no answer exists.

Wow.

It's not a "bully response" but a logical extension. If there is no afterlife and no accountability to any divine judge then do whatever you want, what difference does it make?

If there's an afterlife and accountability to a divine judge that'll grant you an unlimited pardon so long as you believe the right things and bow and scrape, like your god does, then the same question could be posed to you: since the entirety of your religious salvation is predicated on escape from accountability via a sacrifice that has already been made and can absolve you of any crime so long as you accept it, why aren't you doing whatever you want, what difference does it make?

In my case, I've got about seven billion people on this planet that I'm accountable to, some of them including friends and family that I don't want to lose, and future generations, who will inherit the planet after I'm gone. That's a much more solid level of accountability than some god you can't even demonstrate exists, who's already given you a free pass for life, if your religion is to be believed. All of the spooky argument from consequences fallacies you theists lob our way are either not solved by your religion, or made worse were your religion true.

It's actually a little sad, the way you'll thoughtlessly toss out these arguments without even thinking them through all the way.
