Serious question do you believe...

Re: Serious question do you believe

interesting read, and rather compelling.

If there is no devil though I guess mankind (as a whole) are just a bunch of selfish idiots.

Guess we will be in big trouble when someone else in the universe decides to settle on earth....or just plunder it.

Pleased you read it, many who read it through may have an introspection of the way they view religion in the future !.

Do you like the words of John Lennons song ( Imagine ? ).

Bobby, it's one of those topics that a bit taboo. Folks tend to polarize themselves into either

1/a purely scientific camp, where any sort of faith/spirituality is regarded as infantile/stupid. This is evident in the article.

2/a purely religious camp where evolutionists are considered as satan personified.

...and never the twain shall meet.

Just because religions suffer from some truly ludicrous propositions, does not disprove God.

Science also contains some bizarrely outrageous and unprovable claims also, and cannot disprove God.

Both sides promote their doctrine with a preposterous and indefensible arrogance, refusing to concede valid points from the other side. Both sides suffer blinkered vision.

I love this topic and it is best discussed comprehensively and at length. Internet forums suffer a time lapse between responses that degrade the quality of discussion appropriate.

Thats why I'm staying out of it.

Hullo WayneL,
Well after reading your reply, Gee you are impassioned on this subject, you seem to believe maybe in god.
Did you read the article in full ?.
Your post made many valid points !.
The universe & our limited understanding of it -- is God.

Agree largely with it being pretty taboo but it must be pointed out that the nature of science is that it is self-correcting because it is to an individual scientist's advantage to overturn the current theories as that is the way he can win fame and fortune. All currently accepted theories are the ones that are best supported by all the evidence.

The main problem that science has is that bad and psuedo-science get's into the media (e.g. ID and Greenhouse Effect deniers) with equal billing to accepted theories.

Bobby's link is an atheistic/agnostic viewpoint (which I agree with) supported by science rather than science proving that there is no God which it can't
