The Science Myth

It's been going on since the time of Jesus Christ and they said to him to come down off the cross if you are God.
Of course Jesus could have come down from the Cross.
What do you think about science being societies answer to everything?

Let me ask you this, how do you think the smallpox vaccine can around? By people science'ing it up or praying for a cure?

Wonderman: Makes an anti-science thread, giving religion props.

I believe what Jesus said about united kingdom including science in it.

I didn't realize the UK existed back during the Biblical times.

The reason that secularists rely on science to answer questions is because science gives answers that make better predictions then anything in the bible.

Several thoughts come to mind. None worth beginning, for fear of actually being drawn into a discussion with the OP. Knowing when to walk away - or even better, when not to engage at all - is perhaps the most criminally underrated internet skill.

Good post. Succinct and descriptive.

That would be sciencey, you stupid ass.

Go take a nap.

Astner doesn't believe in the scientific method.

-- damn, almost had it.

People who dismiss things they do not understand, are coming from a point of ignorance. I would think if someone really wanted to disprove science, they would learn as much about science as they could.

Maybe those who do that change their mind, and find science to be legitimate. After all, there have been many Christians who were also scientists.

To be fair, I've seen many a secularist/self-labeled atheist dismiss religion and they've not read a single page of the Bible.

Religious people who dismiss the scientific method generally don't dismiss everything science has proved/given humanity. It's generally just the parts that don't gel with the Bible. Evolution probably being the biggest cause of religious painal. While you’d be hard pressed to find many who would argue that the Sun revolves around the Earth.

To be fair, religion =/= bible. I'd concur it's a massive structural portion of religion but there's churches, clergies, etc., that individuals who abstain from religion could be taking issue with.

Also, are you referencing religion in general or Judaism and Christianity? Most other religions don't have a bible, with the Tanakh being an exception. If you were just lazily generalizing, that's fine. Just confirming.

Calm down.

Was using Christianity specifically, as that's usually the focus of anything Religion Vs Science.

Christianity =/= religion either, amazingly enough.

I mean, you used Christianity SO specifically that you labelled it "religion."

Hahaha. Good times. So, lazily generalizing. Got it.

If you'd calm down; take a few deep breaths, you'd see I was referring to Christians/Christianity when I used the word "religious" and "religion", as I qualified them with the word "Christianity".

Not sure you know what you mean, you seem to be all over the place; unfocused, really.

Never said you weren't. Took issue with your vagueness. I had previously said I was confirming whether you were just being lazy. Nah, I'm focused. Just trying to help you understand.

All I'm saying is perhaps it's better to use "Christianity" when referencing, well, Christians.

No one's confused. Just taking a stab at you using a broad term when you claimed to be trying to go "specific."

Threw a little dash of c*nt in there but I was decently nice about it.

I mean, I think so.
