Chad, you're such an asshole that you should probably not even try.  Go take your fucking bible off to a dark corner and suck your own dick or something.

Why was myths/religion separated from the scientific method, if myths/religion was at all valid?

Any religious scientist care to answer the OP?

This is the stupidest thing I've read all day, and I've read some stupid shit.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

If it wasn't so then anesthetic wouldn't work and we wouldn't care about neuro-degenerative diseases or use narcotics.


Wrong again Mat.
Has already been proven that when a brain is destroyed the consciousness live on.
You can't destroy energy and consciousness.
They are the two sides of the same sheet.
NDEs already proved that.  Lightbulb

Near death experience is just that... NEAR death, the brain still exists, show me a POST death experience

This question goes especially to any religious scientist here.

Question is: If science and religion supposedly didn't oppose each other, then why was science separated from religion?

Science is the study of the natural, physical world. Theology deals with the supernatural/spiritual. They are simply 2 seperate fields, not inherently opposing fields.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

So I guess if I had to to choose just one example of your idiocy it would be mathematics as a human invention. Are you saying that the value of pi is not an objective fact that is independent of any sentient being's knowledge of it? That strains credulity.

Your credulity perhaps, but yes I am saying that.

Pi is a concept. It does not exist in reality. It cannot because there is no such thing as a perfect circle in existence, so how can pi exist? You cannot have a perfect circle because if you look at what you thought was one at a small enough scale you will find imperfections, even if you drew a circle with pixels of the planck length. If you could go smaller than this, you can't, then you'd be chasing infinity.

But let's look at the value of pi 3.14159 ...

A value that needs to be calculated to infinite precision otherwise it's not actually pi. But let's just take the most significant digit 3.

3 is also a concept, like all other integers. It is humans that are deciding that there can be one of something. I could show you an apple, but it would be you deciding that it's one apple. I could just as easily argue that it's not an apple at all but a small part of a tree or an even smaller part of an ecosystem. This is because nothing in this universe exists in isolation. Everything is part of a larger environment. But it's more convenient to ask for an apple than a small part of a tree so we use labels.

The concept of zero hasn't always existed and zero is considered a number. Like all Maths it was invented because there was a need for it. Like imaginary numbers for example, or Einstein tensors. There are different branches of Mathematics and new Maths is still being invented today. And sometimes arbitrary decisions have needed to be made to get the system to work. For example, what is the value of zero to the power of zero?

Theists talk about logic existing without the presence of humans but they don't say which form of logic. Do they mean first order predicate calculus? Propositional logic? Syllogistic logic? Modal logic? Computational logic?

It may be difficult for theists to understand because they tend to suffer from binary religious thinking, but true and false are also concepts. Not all forms of logic even use these concepts, e.g. fuzzy logic. If something being singular and integer values are only human concepts then there cannot be an absolute true or false value. Show me something that is absolutely true or false and I will point out where human made concepts relying on those values are being used.

The word "Apple"  wouldn't exist were it not for humans. It's part of a greater language. Maths and logic are also languages used to describe things and to reason about them.

Science is the study of the natural, physical world. Theology deals with the supernatural/spiritual. They are simply 2 seperate fields, not inherently opposing fields.
-and the study of what happens in it.  The very moment that the "supernatural" world presents itself in the natural world...as every adherent of every religion insists has happened so very many times...they are no longer separate.

This, assuming, that they're both fields at all, rather than one being the rationalizations for your silly beliefs.
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!

The trouble is they always want it both ways. Natural stuff that seems improbable is evidence. Stuff that is not natural and is un-evidenced is evidence for god. Supernatural un-evidenced stuff is evidence of god. Supernatural is immaterial and therefore evidence for god. Quantum is no classically natural therefore evidence for god. Miracles are apart from nature without proof, but evidence of god. Miracles are a part of nature, therefore evidence of god. Something is not completely understood currently, evidence of god. Something is poorly understood, evidence of god. Lots of people believe, evidence of god. God is a mystery, evidence of god.

Theists jump through hoops, when the god of everything could convince us all in a trice that she exists.

But, as always, it's our fault...

Specks, Motes and Beams my comrades.
