Science and Religion

RE: Science and Religion
Quote:There definitely is conflict you would have to be blind to not see it.

Lets continue to use your analogy, now imagine the man who found the car insisted the steering wheel was made in a certain way in a certain factory and anyone who said he was wrong was going to be punished in excruciating pain forever.

I am not sure how this is relevant to my argument.

The people investigating the car actually find out the man was wrong and it wasn't made in the way he thought or in the place he thought, but the first man who found the car still insists the investigators are wrong.

This becomes a different question. Not a question of was it designed? As you notice in my analogy, he has never seen a car before, never had any concept on one...So how can he think it would be different if he never had any concept on one?

I'm not even sure what you're argument is, if you're argument is that living cells are like perfectly working cars then no they aren't because cells fuck up all the time, people die people get cancer, some people are born in excruciating pain and die in excruciating pain.

If you're argument is that we should believe in god because stuff is complicated then no that isn't good enough either.

All the things I mentioned in my argument were just to point out that actually religious people don't usually just believe stuff is complicated so there is a god, they believe in a specific type of god and that he wrote a specific book with specific rules and at points in history these things have definitely conflicted with science.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
