Science and Religion

RE: Science and Religion
(October 2, 2013 at 10:21 am)BadWriterSparty Wrote: Your analogy falls flat, as the others have pointed out, because driving a car invented by demonstrable designers in no way compares to how someone interacts with religion.

What? If you had read it properly, you would realise that the person saw a "chunk of metal" and had no "a-priori" knowledge of what it was.

The person based on his logic concluded the car was designed, but was completely ignorant as to how the car works mechanically. He praised the designer.

Then as time went, people found out how the car worked, ie, combustion etc etc.

People don't say, "well, we now know how the car works mechanically, you are an idiot for thinking it was designed".

This is a classic example of the 2 parties talking past each other.
