Reply #16: Why, in the world, [View All]

are you bringing up ID? That has little to do with what we're talking about, and it strikes me as petty and desperate that you would reference that.

Oh, you're insulted? How so? Please, I did not insult you at all. I have a hard time believing you would be so indulgent as to feign insult every time someone challenges your beliefs.

What did I miss in your post? I responded specifically to something you posted, so how is that dishonest? You made a faulty point that you knew was not definitive and I simply pointed that to you.

The fact that science is a field where yesterday's heresies are tomorrow's facts is undeniable. Does that insult you?

Religion looks at the big picture, which includes all that you consider "tangible", and all that is beyond that (so yes, some of it is not fully tangible, but one only needs to see smoke to know that there is fire).

The assertion that religion is based solely on faith is ridiculous. To even try to put all religions into a pot is more than incorrect. So you are saying religion is devoid of knowledge? That is patently wrong.

It's incoherent to you because of your inability to understand it. Eugenics was backed by science, so is science a drug?

I didn't ignore your "good drug" analysis, I simply rejected the entire premise. Religion is something that can be used badly, but that does not make the parts that are good as invalid, and that certainly does not make it a drug, as you wrongly believe. Please re-read my post, and try to think this time.

It doesn't bother you that science has found things to be "true", when they are not? Because of this, people who think science is correct and infallible are wrong, and their commonly accepted beliefs will be mocked in time. Well, at least it still makes people feel "warm and fuzzy", right? :eyes:

Much of what you believe, based on science, will be laughed at in the history classes of the future. Have fun with all that "truth"...:rofl:

Again, religion is not a single entity. There are many philosophies, many mindsets, and so they are based on many different things. However, what is undeniable is the insight to the world it brings (again, not all, but it is not all or nothing).

Oh, and guess what? Your empty claims of "evidence" are about as invalid as your beliefs on this matter.
