You're speaking the language of a person who believes that the scientific understanding of the world is, a..wrong..and, b..an example of faithing one's way to conclusions - just like philosophy, for that matter.
No man. This is why we don’t understand each-other. I’m simply asking if you have a problem with one group or another using science to make leaps of faith on existential topics. And it sounds like you do have a problem with people doing that. This doesn’t strike me as very tolerant because I don’t care who uses science to answer existential questions.
Live and let live.
It certainly doesn't sound like anything of the sort, I'm the only person vocally supportive of the notion at all. That's just you getting shit wrong again.
I think..for the umpteenth time, that many of our religious beliefs could very well be investigated by and even supported by science. I suspect that a great many are informed by some actual facts. I see we're on to the random accidental universe portion of this shitthread.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
