Quote:Cool, keep your Christian culture. We can celebrate it the same way we do medieval culture or Indian culture during various festivals. Just don't conflate your culture with the work with of science, which is universal, and includes the various origin questions such as "How did the universe begin?" "How did life begin?"
I think this has largely happened to Europe which is why undergoing something of a slow death. In a few centuries I doubt there will be anything left of the former culture. It could happen in the US as well if this contagion of not giving a damn about anything takes hold.
Quote:Rest assured God has not been damaged by science, if belief in God is on the decline it has nothing to do with that it's something else.
You are fooling yourself.
Quote:Nature is the world of matter we can see anything that isn't the world of matter we can see wouldn't be the world of matter we can see. So that wouldn't work by the definition of what nature is.
Naturalism assumes there is a lot regarding the nature of matter and energy that we don't yet understand.
