Did you just fakepost a reply to my fakepost or did you seriously think I was serious :confused:

Because as everyone knows, every scientist is in perfect agreement over all of science, and there's no discord or dissension at all.
The dissent and discord in science is what makes it great. It's the constant questioning, arguing, and experimenting... the doubting, which make it so powerful.
It's a different kind of disagreement than in religion, though. In science, disagreement can be settled with experiment, analysis, and mathematics. For example, all (real) scientists agree that force equals mass times acceleration, but some scientists disagree over the causes of global warming (inconclusive evidence, for some). In Religion, disagreement can either never be settled, or can only be settled wth violence because there is no way to prove your idiotic magic being is more correct than someone elses.
But what about the chill guys like me who are just kind of like "OK man whatever yeah you think that Islam is the right way I think Christianity is the right way so I guess the real question is which one of us is going to get screwed over more if the Jews turn out to be right?"
Also I need to stop posting when I don't really have the time to commit to words the thoughts I actually have. Someone reply to this in the next 3 or 4 hours so I can post what I wanted to post I'm supposed to be packing my car right now (it is actually a pretty interesting (to me at least) analysis of how and where I apply religious beliefs and an attempt to further reinforce my stance that with the right mindset science and religion can reinforce each other and make it through the difficulties of growing up together.

So I guess we have Science Vs. Religion Vs. Science and Religion Vs. No Science and No Religion.
Very interesting thread.
Here's your reply Atma.
Actually I'm not quite ready to post it; I had a discussion about it today (I discuss my beliefs to help me decide if there are flaws in them or to see if I truly believe in them) and there's a few spots where my mind is going "Hey man do you really believe that or are you just saying it because it fits well with something you want to believe?"
It's going to take a little bit of reflection for me to stand behind it. Also I made this and earlier I stepped on a bee and the benadryl I took to avoid maybe dying from allergic reaction is kind of making me pretty tired.
I mean while I'd love concrete proof/disproof of my faith and coming back to haunt Beldaran and possibly be all "Ha ha you were wrong eat it jerk" seriously "death by bee sting due to inadvertently stepping on a bee while fetching his laptop from his car" isn't what I want on my obituary.
