The difference between religions and science are:
A: Science is true no matter the context. You don't have to have been exposed to gravitational theory to see that things move towards the ground. But to believe in jesus you must at least have been exposed to the stories at some point.

I honestly don't know where you are going with this.
Man and indeed everything since the big bang has been subjected to gravity but Newton managed to do the maths that made it predictable and Einstein gave us a workable theory that made predictions that were confirmed.
What does religion give us?
It says when you die "life gets better". Which is stupid.
dbp Wrote:B; It is testable. All science is testable in some way. religions just tell you that something is so and you just have to go along with it.

Nothing I have seen you or anyone else post meets my level of proof needed. I wonder if you are so easily pleased why don't you believe in any of the other stuff with just much going for it as your god. my wife for example is a spiritualist and thinks she has evidence for a completely different after life than you. Honestly she has books and books on how you choose you life to learn for the next one and thinks she has past life memories.
dbp Wrote:C: Science is proven to work, religions always fail and then flail around for explanations for their failure. In fact the Abrahamic religions have failed so badly that they now place their deity outside of all reach.

You seem to think I have a choice in not believing. That I don't "want god to reach me". As though he's standing at my door holding a boombox over his head playing "in your eyes". Well I have seen nothing that even vaguely hints that there is a god in reality.
So imagine something very silly to believe in, imagine I believe that and I am trying to convine you of it and offer no evidence just "come on you know it makes sense" that's you that is.

dbp Wrote:You are wrong, dark matter explains the effects they see and is the current best guess but it is not "believed" just thought to be likely. They are testing to prove/disprove the hypothesis. That is the difference. If science was like religion they'd say it was dark matter an dl eave it at that . in fact no, what they would have done was assume that the universe acted like they assumed and not found the anomaly that set them looking for dark matter.

agreed.

No. Its the current best explanation and they are looking in to it.
(July 9, 2018 at 12:16 am)Godscreated Wrote: like it or not I've given you the truth, so it is now your's to deal with.
dbp Wrote:You've given us what you believe and you assume that it is the truth. There is a difference.
(July 12, 2018 at 12:51 am)Godscreated Wrote: I know for a fact, you could too, if you weren't so stubborn. Why would I live my life assuming something such as God, that makes no sense.
I know it makes no sense. And I know that there isn't a god. I have looked at what passes for evidence to you people. Chuckled a bit and discounted the idea.

I don't think so.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
