I was sitting at the park and a man sat beside me and began to regale me with a story of a faraway land of magic and mystery that he said actually exists! A land of elves, dwarves, wizards and even dragons! Middle Earth he called it and he even had a map of the place that showed various kingdoms like "Gondor" and "Eriador" and "Rohan." He told me of their histories; their kings and their wars of succession. He finally asked if I believed him. I asked if he had anything more to go on than his word and the map. "No," he said. So I said I didn't believe him. "Oh well," he huffed, getting up to leave, "I guess that's _your_ worldview." 🤔🤨

Science isn’t a religion! You make your own purpose you search for it! Also when you’re talking to someone and ask a question, you should listen to the answer not insert your interpretation over it, belittling and restricting the response.

Wherever someone gets their source of truth or what they think determines truth, is what they worship so if you think science determines what is ultimately true and that is your source of truth then that is what you worship and that’s what he means by it’s a religion.

[@seanpol9863]

​@@SammyxxooScience isn't about worship or belief; it's a method for understanding the world through evidence and testing. Calling it a "religion" misunderstands both concepts. Religion relies on faith, which means accepting things without evidence. Science relies on questioning, testing, and rejecting ideas if the evidence doesn't support them. Truth in science is provisional-it changes when better evidence comes along. That's the opposite of dogma. Saying science is a religion is like calling a hammer a philosophy-it just doesn't fit.

The Bible says there is a time for everything. GOD does everything at the right time. At the right time He will put an end to evil. In the mean time it is up to us to make sure our name is written in the Lamb's book of life. Remember Jesus said to the theif on the cross, " today you will be with me in paradise." John 14:6 King James Version 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Romans 10:8,9,10 8 But what saith it?

It has no consideration of whether or not you are left with a sense of purpose or what you do in response to it, Its plenty of things I wished I did not have to accept but I have no choice if it's the truth with evidence establishing it to be true.

It doesn't take a religion to figure out what you do not appreciate being done to you and to not do those things to others

According to the general consensus of scholarship *(even critical Christian scholars),* YHWH was originally incorporated into the Canaanite pantheon as a son of the Canaanite high god El before inheriting the top spot in the pantheon and El's wife Athirat (Asherah) before religious reforms "divorced" them. El's pantheon in Ugarit (modern day Ras Shamra in Syria) is called the *Elohim,* literally the plural of El. Interestingly, the Biblical god is also referred to numerous times as Elohim. If you want to see if El is fictional, just read his mythology in the Ugaritic/Canaanite texts. "The mysterious Ugaritic text Shachar and Shalim tells how (perhaps near the beginning of all things) *El* came to shores of the sea and saw two women who bobbed up and down. *El* was sexually aroused and took the two with him, killed a bird by throwing a staff at it, and roasted it over a fire. He asked the women to tell him when the bird was fully cooked, and to then address him either as husband or as father, for he would thenceforward behave to them as they called him. They saluted him as husband. He then lay with them, and they gave birth to Shachar ("Dawn") and Shalim ("Dusk"). Again *El* lay with his wives and the wives gave birth to "the gracious gods", "cleavers of the sea", "children of the sea". The names of these wives are not explicitly provided, but some confusing rubrics at the beginning of the account mention the goddess *Athirat (Asherah),* who is otherwise *El's* chief wife, and the goddess Raḥmayyu ("the one of the womb"), otherwise unknown." *"First, a god named El predates the arrival of the Israelites into Syria-Palestine.* Biblical usage shows El was not just a generic noun, but often a proper name for Israel’s God (e.g., Gen 33:20: “El, the God of Israel”)." "I should add here that it is very clear from the grammar that the noun nachalah in v. 9 should be translated “inheritance.” *Yahweh receives Israel as his “inheritance” (nachalah), just as the other sons of El received their nations as their inheritance (nachal, v. 8).* With this verb, especially in the Hiphil, the object is always what is being given as an inheritance. Thus, Israel is given to Yahweh as his inheritance. ((Here I’m indebted to Dan McClellan.)) It would make no sense for Elyon to give himself an inheritance. Moreover, as I’ve argued elsewhere, it is not just the Gentile nations that are divided up according to the number of the *sons of El.* It is all of humankind, i.e., “the sons of Adam.” This clearly includes Israel. And the sons of Adam are not divided up according to the number of the *sons of El,* plus one (i.e., plus Elyon). They are divided up, according to the text, *solely* according to the number of the *sons of El.* *Thus, that Yahweh receives Israel as his inheritance makes Yahweh one of the sons of El mentioned in v. 8. Any other construal of the text would constitute its rewriting.* A Sumerian hymn speaks to the goddess: “Nanshe, your divine powers are not matched by any other divine powers.” *Does this mean that Nanshe was the high goddess, that there were no gods above her? No, it does not.* Nanshe was the daughter of Enki, the high god. *In Sumerian mythology, as with Ugaritic, Israelite, Babylonian, and others, in the ancient past, the high god (Enki, in this case) divided up the world and assigned his children certain domains.* Nanshe was given a limited domain (the modern Persian Gulf) and was tasked with maintaining social justice there. *This is exactly what we see in Deuteronomy 32 with Yahweh. Yahweh is given a limited domain (Israel) and is given authority over his people, to punish them, as well as to protect and defend them against foreign enemies.* That Yahweh, like Nanshe, is said to have incomparable divine power *does not* mean that he is not subordinate to the high god who gave him his domain. *It is also of note that Nanshe, like Baal, Yahweh, and so many other deities, evolved over time. Her domain increased, and she was promoted in the pantheon (although she never became the high goddess)."* *"The Most Heiser: Yahweh and Elyon in Psalm 82 and Deuteronomy 32 - Religion at the Margins"* based on the *majority scholarly consensus.* (Written by Thom Stark who is a Christian) *"Michael Heiser: A Unique Species? - Religion at the Margins"* (A second response to Michael Heiser) *"Excerpt from “Yahweh and the Gods and Goddesses of Canaan” by John Day - Lehi's Library."* *"The Table of Nations: The Geography of the World in Genesis 10"* - TheTorah.com (Excluding the short narrative on Nimrod (vv. 8-12), *which appears to be a later addition,* Genesis 10 contains *70* names of nations or cities, a number that was symbolic of totality. Similarly, the descendants of Jacob were *70* in number (Gen 46:37; Exod 1:5), *as were the sons of the supreme Canaanite god El, with whom YHWH became equated.)* *"Polytheism and Ancient Israel’s Canaanite Heritage. Part V | theyellowdart"* (Of course, much of this [i.e., that Israel worshiped El and Asherah alongside YHWH] is really to be expected given that recent syntheses of the *archaeological, cultural, and literary data* pertaining to the emergence of the nation of Israel in the Levant *show that most of the people who would eventually compose this group were originally Canaanite. As the Hebrew Bible notes, the Hebrew language itself is a Canaanite language, literally the “lip of Canaan” (שְׂפַת כְּנַעַן; Is. **19:18**), and so it cannot often be distinguished by modern scholars from other Canaanite inscriptions on purely linguistic grounds.)* *"Ugarit - New World Encyclopedia"* (Ugaritic religion centered on the chief god, Ilu or El, whose titles included "Father of mankind" and "Creator of the creation." The Court of El was referred to as the (plural) 'lhm or ***Elohim,*** a word ***later used by the biblical writers to describe the Hebrew deity*** and translated into English as "God," in the singular.

Nevertheless, the historical reconstruction that El was the chief god of the Israelites is not indebted only to the testimony of the (rather late) biblical witness of P. *Numerous biblical texts attest to the fact that the titles, functions, and the imagery associated with the Canaanite god El, as revealed by the Ugaritic texts and the Canaanite myth of Elkunirša, were assimilated into the profile of the deity YHWH.* According to the Ugaritic texts, El was known for his *wisdom* (e.g., KTU2 1.4.V.65[6]) and *great age* (’ab šnm, *“Father of Years,”* and drd, *“Ageless One,”* in KTU2 1.4.IV.24 and 1.10.III.6, respectively),[7] his *compassionate nature* (lţpn il dp’id, *“Kind El, the Compassionate One,”* e.g., KTU2 1.16.IV.9), his role as *father of the gods and humanity* (’ab ’adm, *“father of humanity,”* KTU2 1.14..III.47, and bny bnwt, *“creator of creatures,”* KTU2 1.17.I.24) and *creator of the cosmos.* [8] El was the *divine King* (e.g., KTU2 1.2.III.5-6) and the *head of the pantheon or divine council* (referred to variously as the dr ’il, *“circle of El/Family of El,”* KTU2 1.15.III.19; mpħrt bn ’il, *“the assembly of the sons of El,”* KTU2 1.65.3; bn ’il, *“the sons of El,”* KTU2 1.40.33, 41; pħr kbbm, *“assembly of the stars,”* KTU2 1.10.I.3-4; ‘dt ’ilm, *“assembly of the gods,”* KTU2 1.15.II.7; cf.

El was also known for his *divine patronage and blessing of progeny to humans* (as in the Epic of Kirta; see, for example, KTU2 1.14.III.46-51), for his *appearances to humans in dreams* (e.g., KTU2 1.14.I.35-37), as *being a healer* (KTU2 1.16.V-VI), and for his *dwelling at the sacred mountain* (e.g., KTU2 1.2.III.5-6) at the *sources of the mythical rivers* (KTU2 1.2.III.4; 1.3.V.6; 1.4.IV.20-22; 1.17.V.47-48) in a *tent* (KTU2 1.2.III.5; 1.3.V.8; 1.4.IV.24; 1.17.V.49; c.f. the Canaanite myth Elkunirša which *describes El’s abode as a tent[9]).[10]* *To underscore the fact that terminology and imagery originally used for the god El was adopted by the Israelites in their descriptions of YHWH,* the following brief summary might be placed in comparison to the discussion of El above: YHWH is an *aged, patriarchal deity* (Ps. 102:28; Job 36:26; Is. 40:28; Dan. 7.9-14, 22), *a father* (Deut. 32:6; Is. 63:16; 64:7; Jer. 3:4, 19; 31:9, etc.), *merciful and gracious* (Ex. 34:6; Jon. 4:2; Joel 2:13; Ps. 8615; 103:8; 145:8, etc.), *a divine patron who bestows the blessing of progeny upon Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,* often manifesting himself in *dreams or visions, a healer* (Gen. 20:17; Num. 12:13; 2 Kgs. 20:5, 8; Ps. 107:20, etc.), who *dwells in a tent* (Ps. 15:1; 27:6; 91:10; 132:3) *amidst the heavenly waters* (Ps. 47:5; 87; Is. 33: 20-22; Ez. 47:1-12, etc.), the *creator of the cosmos,* who is enthroned as *heavenly King* in the *divine council* (1 Kgs. 22:19; Is. 6:1-8; cf. Ps. 29:1-2; 82; 89: 5-8, etc.) on the *sacred mount of assembly* (e.g., Is. 14:13).

Because we follow our desires, we end up breaking God’s law the ten commandments. Oncevwe die we will be judged for all our choices including every time we stole or lied or hurt others etc. And because we are guilty for our sins, we all are headed to hell but because God does not want us to be judged for our own choices, He chose to die on the cross to take our punishment and was ressurected on the third day. So if you repent and believe in Jesus as God and Savior and trust in what He did for us without trusting in your own good deeds or character, then you will be saved

Then on top of that their attitude often infers, that this evidence is only for Evolutionists, and not for Creationists. Creationists only have faith to go on. The evidence is neutral. The evidence is available and relevant to both Evolutionists AND Creationists. Both sides interpret the evidence, and it's a person's worldview which governs the outcome, not the evidence itself.

@@theresa42213 «Like China?» 18% of Chinese adults believe in Taoist deities and 33% believe in Buddha and/or enlightened beings (Buddhist deities). The share of people who believe in a religious figure is typically broader than the share who identify with any one religion, and many Chinese report belief in several religious figures or forces. «North Korea?« North Korea is NOT an atheist state. ALL citizens worship their Glorious Leader Kim Jong-un and before that, his father Kim Jong-il. In North Korea, the government promotes a form of state ideology known as Juche, which emphasizes self-reliance and loyalty to the state and its leader. In china The CCP maintains tight control over religious organizations and activities, often viewing them as potential threats to its authority. your 2 examples are the “atheist countries” that are just “atheist” because they see religious organizations as a threat to their authorism.

@@theresa42213 China isn't majority atheist... Yes North korea is an atheistic country Great you found one example. (fun fact its the only majority atheistic communistic country in the world, which is equal to the number of christian communistic countries in the world (Cuba)). Now lets look at the list of the unhappiest countries in the world. From statista: 1) Afghanistan (99% Islam) 2) Lebanon (No data but prob majority Islam) 3) Lesotho (92% christian) 4) Sierra Leone (78% Islam 21% Christian) 5) DRC (95% christian) 6) Zimbabwe (84% Christian) 7) Botswana (79% Christian) And that keeps going. There is no secular atheistic countries in the top 30. The closest you can argue is Sri Lanka on place 16 which is majority Buddhist. Now north korea isn't on this list and i am sure it would place somewhere in the top 5. But the trend is pretty clear.

Hey pal? Nobody has come close to demonstrating the prebiotic chemistry required for DNA to form itself and even less the biological information appearing for every organism that has ever existed. 1 gram having the equivalent information storage capacity of 88 million grams of 1 terabyte hard disk drives, a 4 letter code compared to the zero's and one's, using 100 million times less energy than the computers scientists are using to examine DNA with. We question your claims life had a natural origin and you can't prove it,not even close!

[@jockyoung4491]

And very dangerous.

[@AnotherViewer]

@@Vernon-Chitlen Here’s the thing: DNA’s complexity doesn’t somehow magically validate your god. We’re talking about an incredibly sophisticated molecule, yes, but the idea that complexity requires a designer ignores the role of natural processes that science is uncovering step by step. You're right that we don't fully understand the precise pathways by which life originated, but that's far from evidence of a creator. Science doesn’t claim to have all the answers, but it’s working tirelessly to fill in the gaps-something your religious claims never even attempt. And let’s address this whole "information storage" argument. Yes, DNA is incredibly efficient at storing information, but that’s a function of evolution, not some grand design. Natural selection works with the mutations and changes that occur over time, gradually accumulating the "information" necessary for survival. It's not magic, and it's not divinely engineered. If you think a complex system requires a designer, you might want to rethink that position because you’re just begging the question-you're assuming a designer exists to explain complexity, but you haven’t shown any actual evidence for that designer. As for your claim that science can’t "prove" the origin of life, that's not the same as proving it didn't have a natural origin. We don’t yet know exactly how the first molecules formed, but the evidence we do have from chemistry, physics, and biology strongly supports the idea that life arose through natural processes. The fact that you can’t imagine a way for it to happen doesn’t make it impossible. You’re letting your lack of imagination limit your understanding of the science at hand. Finally, this whole "information" argument is a red herring. The question isn’t whether life is complex. It’s whether your god is the necessary explanation for that complexity. You can’t just throw around a bunch of numbers to pretend like they prove anything. The fact that you’re trying to use the sophistication of DNA as a reason to insist on a divine creator is an intellectual shortcut that doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.

[@Vernon-Chitlen]

@AnotherViewer We don't need to fill in the gap between non living matter and life. All natural origin of life research has provided nothing but evidence that life required the influence of intelligence.

Personal interpretations of empathy and fairness can vary widely, influenced by cultural norms, personal experiences, and biases. Without a shared reference point, morality becomes fragmented or subjective, leading to conflicts as has happened throughout history.

[@gregoryt8792]

In 1910 Ivan Panin, a Russian/ American Harvard math genius and linguistic expert, proved the Bible mathematically. Watch - Math proves the Bible. Most recently a 30 year veteran cold case criminologist J. Warner Wallace proved the Bible forensically in his book, Person of Interest. His testimony would convince any jury of the veracity of the Bible. Some of the amazing things in the Bible include the prophecy of the fall of Tyre and the prophecy of Alexander the great. Bible firsts include knowing life being in the blood long before modern science, or the Bible knowing about mountains and currents in the oceans or how the earth hangs on nothing. You should know about the prophecies fulfilled by Jesus and the impossible odds of that happening. No other book has prophecy which has been fulfilled and proven by linguistic evidence.The Bible is a reliable collection of historical documents written down by eye witnesses during the lifetime of other eye witnesses. They report to us supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific prophecies and claim that the writings are divine rather than human in origin. The Bible has also been proven archaeologically, historically and linguistically. 2 Peter 1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
