I realize that's an extreme over-simplification. It's also late at night and my brain isn't fully here. This is also off-topic. Yes, I'm religious. No, I will not force my beliefs down your throat. |

I don't hold much 'faith' in the Big Bang theory but there is even less proof of the existence of a higher being/entity Now let's for argument's sake believe that there is the possibility (in theory ANYTHING is possible ) Then there is still not enough to claim that that higher being is YOUR preferred diety If you want to believe in an uncertainty, you may as well believe in death Scientists at least exclaim in honesty to the question "what was there before the Big bang then?" -"We don't know" instead of filling in the blanks with fairytales

B'Coz if the Creator is a Gal . Penis Retracts back into the body and Testes shrink Even putting forth idea of a Female/Unisex Creator results in Blasphemy or Heresy Gotta blame centuries of brainwashing by Abrahamic Religions

I don't understand why science is ever compared with religion .
Their very goals are different. Science is built upon the ideas of the scientific method, which is used to make observations about our world that can then be perceived as "truths" until otherwise disproven with the same scientific method. Religion on the other-hand is usually primarily concerned with existentialism... Simple questions about why are we here? How should we live our lives? Who created us? The answers to those questions are perhaps the goal of some scientists, but that is not the stated goal of "science" because science is a method of observing perceived truths. That is all. Lastly, why do so many people put faith in this so called "scientific method?" This is because the scientific method allows anyone with the means to retest the same experiment under certain conditions and observe the same results. It's a "if you don't believe it, try it yourself and show me that I am wrong."

Now I know why this thread has been locked >_>
@Zu Ra AFAIK Abrahamic Religion never told the follower about "God is a guy, etc" Hell... this is dumb... In my teach" God would make us who follow his teaching properly as his lovers. So if God is a dude, I'll be Homo ? Dumb topic make me dumb @reckoner handshake for you Religion never will approved by science, so if you all "rational" people want label us the religion' as idiots, maybe its true. Religion only can proven its true or not is when we die.

Anyhow, you might be right, I don't get into the religion thing too much, IMO I would be happy if Haruhi were god, and if I'll believe that Haruhi is god so it's fine :P I'm not into this subject at all, just generally.

I agree with you on that point , and I only know some on this cause I've discussed religion good bit with my younger brother, and looked up various things on it as to not be uninformed when talking about it with him.

All I can say is that reconciling traditional Islamic culture with the secular (almost atheistic) social norms and culture of Britain can be quite difficult and trying at times. [edit] Oh great. I just got fucking over by Agito.

I don't believe in God and I'm a fervent opponent of most religions out there (especially most of the big ones), but I don't think death is truly the end of the line for my 'consciousness' (or 'soul', if you want to call it that).

"Faith", in order to have any meaning at all, specifically means the belief in something without any tangible evidence. It *feels* true to you. That's not the meaning of science. In science, as an example, the Theory of Relativity holds sway, but the INSTANT a piece of verified evidence refutes it - its going to be toast, thrown out if it can't be modified to incorporate the new information (or like Newtonian physics, held to be still useful for certain domains, just incomplete). Faith does not use that protocol.
