Ricky’s best statement was ‘destroy religious books and in a 1000 years they will come back different, destroy science books and in a 1000 years they will come back the same’ profound but yet so simple.

[@starfishk6571]

@@lawrence1318 could you explain

[@starfishk6571]

​@@lawrence1318 I think you're getting the "science is always revising its ideas" part wrong. Yes, science has the capacity to change its ideas and create new hypotheses in order to provide the most accurate explanation to something. However, a lot of (hard) science such as the theory of evolution is a lot more refined and unchanging. Its ideas on natural selection and adaptation aren't really changing since they have been studied so much. Aside from the false notion that science is always having a dramatic shift in its ideas every so often, I assume that you're agreeing with Gervais in that these religious writings would be lost forever if they were to be burned, since they do not mirror the exact word or meaning of God. The Bible can be used as a tool to say anything a person wants, as long as it's what they think God might want them to say without actually having proof of it. You say it echos truth but how can you trust fallible man? I have two question: Is it not more likely that our negative emotions and the human conscience is the result of nature's work, evolution, and our brain, rather than the work of a god that's in conflict with not only the world's sea of religions but also with itself (its different sects, religious scripts, and interpretations?). How can any religion be trusted if everyone is so confidently devoted to their own religion while they think that everyone else is living a lie? My confidence in the nonexistence of man-made gods stems directly from people's arrogant, faithful belief in their own god and rejection of others. It is simply the Barnum effect and the natural human need for belonging and explanation for the unknown.

@@lawrence1318 Okay, my mistake. If you were born in a country with Islam as the dominant religion, would you realize Christianity was the true religion and if so, how? How would you know what was true or false without the right scriptures and how would you know if God wanted you to pursue Christianity or Islam?

[@nefaristo]

@@lawrence1318 science revises itself _constrained by evidence_, so you see, roughly speaking, it's like a funnel, stricter and stricter, you have to explain at least as many facts that were explained by the preceding hypotheses, typically more. Religion (which is not about "having a conscience", you don't need religion for that) is about specific believes , most of the times involving details about conscious creatures creating the universe. Now, since there are thousands religions already (that we know of), and pretty much incompatible with each other, you would expect that in 1000 year other thousands would be created , wouldn't you? It's more like throwing dice

I now just live my life, whatever happens, I deal with it. No more endless days and hours of praying only to never be answered. It caused too much emotional and mental pain. I learned from my 32 year old son, you just live your life and when bad things happen, you just deal with it and that's that. When good things happen, enjoy it, that's just life.

This extremely dense point exploded with unimaginable force, creating matter and propelling it outward to make the billions of galaxies of our vast universe.

Where did that initial massive energy come from? How does an explosion of energy CREATE matter? If the matter were already contained in that dense point, where did it come from? Why was that the only explosion that created matter and it has never happened again? Shouldn’t other explosions create previously non-existent elements and galaxies?

@@catherinesummers5057 about a month ago someone asked me how God could first say “Let there be light”, then after that create the sun and the stars; this seemed impossible to him. But according to the idea of the Big Bang, energy, space, time and matter came into existence at the same time. So energy, in all portions of the electromagnetic spectrum including light, existed along with the primordial form of matter. According to secular cosmology, matter coalesced into stars, which then radiated light. So either by the Big Bang theory or the biblical account light existed before the sun and stars.

It's not a dig, it completely undermines the whole notion of the stupidity of religion at its most basic foundation.

Rejecting the evolution of animals is an oxymoronic to the acceptance of different tomato varieties. Rejecting the estimated age of the solar system and universe is the equivalent of rejecting the same physics that enables your mobile phone to function. It's absurd, but most humans are intellectually limited, and religious folk ironically just strengthen the case for evolution.
