What exactly is the "age of reason" ? I would assume the age would be something like 18 or 21, which I would think most posters here are older than that.

Scientist's believe only in what can be measured? Really?
Scientists take things on faith as much as any human being does (Whether religious conviction, irrational desire for validation/advancement in their choice of career, or a love of a child with a disability who many may wish didn't exist as a burdon on society.
It's called "human nature". And frankly, a human who passively meaures the human condition as if his fellow man has no intrinsic value sounds like a human I'd rather avoid..

Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.

No, that's not strictly true. Scientists are just people, so while I'd say they're generally more inclined towards measurable beliefs, the more accurate thing to say would be, "only that which can be measured falls under the umbrella of science."
Ngl not sure what point you're trying to make here.
My point is that he's wrong in saying science and faith are incompatible. The two have nothing to do with each other.
Being a Catholic, Christian, Muslim, or practicing jew is no more relevent to being a scientist then taking it on faith then accepting a parent loves their child above other human, or beliving that equality is a virtue worth advocating, is.

I will say that I do not believe in God, but I do believe in the supernatural. I went to a Catholic grammar school(and high school). I was in 8th grade when I became an atheist. It all started when I was scolded for merely questioning something about the bible.
See so instead of trying to engage with me they set me on a course that made me stop believing, all because they couldn't handle a question.

I said I believe in it, I never said I have evidence. I do believe spirits exist. I believe there is an afterlife, though not like Christians believe. No "heaven" or "hell" nor do your actions in life dictate anything about your afterlife.
I believe there are other planes of existence, perhaps some represent what most would picture "hell" to be like, and perhaps some represent what most would picture "heaven" to be like.

Well you see I don't believe in a crazy sky god that murders people, etc. My beliefs also are not about the way people should act, but about merely the nature of the universe.
Did you want to try again?
