Fine,but I do not. 'Should' is a moral value which I do not share in this instance. My respect is earned,and may not be assumed or demanded.

Quote:I wouldn't understand why anyone would disrespect someones belief. It really does not make sense to me.


So fucking what? Argument from incredulity AGAIN.

I have only contempt for some of the loopier religious beliefs and superstitions,and especially those used to justify harming/supressing others. EG treatment of women in some Muslim countries, male and female circumcision,suicide bombing and [any] war.

Quote:Argument from incredulity/Lack of imagination

Arguments from incredulity take the form:

P is too incredible (or: I cannot imagine how P could possibly be true); therefore P must be false.
It is obvious that P is true (or: I cannot imagine how P could possibly be false); therefore P must be true.

These arguments are similar to arguments from ignorance in that they too ignore and do not properly eliminate the possibility that something can be both incredible and still be true, or appear to be obvious and yet still be false.

Never mentioned anything to be false though. That is why I first mentioned that science is limited to the discoveries we have made historically. More is yet to come (as it always did). I am still waiting for Hadron Collider results, which will open a whole new chapter or an addition to the beginning of our universe.

Science is evolving. A lot of scientist and physicists are using metaphysics to explore new frontiers and maybe one day the things we used to laugh at would be something that can be proven in science. Galileo did it, Einstein did it, and Amit Goswami is trying to do it but quite not convince everyone yet.

I could be wrong but I am always open to new scientific theories, it interests me a lot to explore something new and evolve from the old traditional theories. If there is something wrong with that then I am sorry to offend you it was not my intention.
