Do you guys also assume multiverse theory is a conspiracy?

People who believe there are other dimensions are just like fake moon landing people and so are religious people?

The likelihood of a multiverse is based on actual math, more or less in the same way that Einstein predicted the existence of black holes.

The proper response to not knowing an answer is "I don't know", not "Well no one knows, so I'm gonna guess and have faith I'm right."

The real question is what makes religion special? People will scrutinize or mock all kinds of illogical beliefs, but if you do that to religion, it's suddenly taboo.

Because it is a very touchy and controversial subject that very few people agree on. Why can you not mock someone's religious beliefs, and if you are questioning them directly, why does your first response have to be "Imagine believing... Islam and Judaism and everything else are just as fucking silly when you really think about."

Like I said, I'm totally cool with other people's religious or cosmological beliefs. But it's pretty clear that you and several other people here are not, and that is something YOU need to work on. Live and let live.

Ok, but what makes it touchy and more controversial than other illogical, unscientific beliefs?

And part of that post was a direct response to Vy crying about how only Christianity gets criticized.

The Epistle of Paul to the Romans Chap. 10 : 14-18 states(Christian Standard version):

14 "How, then, can they call on him they have not believed in? And how can they believe without hearing about him? And how can they hear without a preacher? 15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news. 16 But not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our message? 17 So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ. 18 But I ask, Did they not hear? Yes, they did:
Their voice has gone out to the whole earth,
and their words to the ends of the world."

"Whipping it out" and waving it around in public is essentially what the early believers did. It's an important message honestly. Now whether a person receives it properly or not is another story.....

You are simply wrong to say that religion is anti-science. And it is an absurd thing to say because if God does exist, then God must cooperate with science. And you cant just claim that God doesnt exist. So unless you want to try understanding my beliefs instead of mocking them, we are at a total stalemate.

This is why personally I believe faith is way more important than religion. Religion is man's interpretation of faith dictated to others. We are flawed beings. Thousands of years of telephone + corruption isn't a reliable way to base your faith.

I personally believe if you believe in God, he will make himself evident to you the way you see Him. He has the ability to transcend all interpretations and religions. You just need to have faith and keep your mind and spirituality open.

What's even weirder is they don't seem to acknowledge that bashing Christianity is also, in a way, bashing Judaism since half the religion is based off the Old Testament.

Wait, I thought the Old Testament doesn't exist to the Christians.....The same ones who murdered millions in the name of their lord because they wouldn't convert, or were branded as heretics, or labeled as witches. How's it feel knowing that your religion is just as messed up as Islam?

He is not. It has been explained to you multiple times by multiple users in no uncertain terms exactly how religion is objectively anti-science, and you refuse to address these. Simply saying "religion isn't anti-science" doesn't change the indisputable reality that it is. Stating this indisputable fact is not an "attack" or "mockery." You are wrong, full stop. You are literally playing the stereotypical religious "victim" who can't handle any scrutiny of his faith whatsoever. If you can't ingest differing views about religion without calling them "attacks" then you should probably not have posted in this topic. Or anywhere else on the internet.

The Old Testament and The New Testament is supposed to go hand in hand. Supposed to go.

Different religions based off Christianity (Catholicism, Protestant, Baptist, etc.) then disagree and prioritize certain texts over others. Some take parts more literally than others. When you focus on religion more than faith, you tend to believe in things that apparently happened instead of seeing the metaphors of God's teachings.

All religions are guilty of this. They all are rooted in human beliefs and since God is an infinitely greater power than we are, they all must be flawed.

God is an infinite being. Human beings are flawed. Logically speaking, all human interpretations of how the universe works are inherently flawed, more so because there is more to be discovered through what we call science.

It is entirely possible for God to exist or the concept of God to exist and to have created the universe while also staying true to practically everything we believe by science. There is nothing that contradicts His existence because logically speaking, you cannot contradict His existence based off the fundamental understanding that humans = flawed and God = infinite.

DirkDiggles posted...

Man invented neither. Science always existed, and I believe God always existed as well. What we call "science" is our interpretation to how the universe works. The interpretations are backed by hypothesis and tested conclusions. Man invented the concept of God, but it is entirely possible man's interpretation albeit flawed of what God truly is came from God Himself. Again, nothing contradicts this.

No evidence God exists because we haven't discovered He exists. It could be very well possible we never do by the time the human race goes extinct.

Bruh, you're not understanding this at all.

Do you follow logic? Because science at its root follows logic. Everything follows logic.

Logically speaking, if an infinite being exists and humans are flawed beings, then that means any interpretation of what an infinite being is and may have created is inherently flawed against the being itself. Which includes the fact that we as a species have not fully discovered everything there is about the universe, which means our understanding of it is logically flawed.

The scientific method as it pertains to how we share objectively true measures isn't flawed. The conclusions as it pertains to the grand scheme of the universe will always be flawed until we know everything there is about the universe.

And the simple thing is, you cannot logically disprove the existence of an infinite being because we aren't infinite ourselves and never will be.

No, you're not understanding this. You're wrong, end of discussion. Belief in anything with no evidence is inherently anti-science. It doesn't matter if that belief is religious, supernatural, natural, extravagant, or mundane. The scientific method demands that unfalsifiable claims be dismissed until they can be falsified. If you don't know what these terms mean (and I'm beginning to suspect you don't) then this conversation is out of your league.

Claims that God exists cannot be falsified. Therefore, the scientific method demands we ignore these claims. That means belief in God is incompatible with the scientific method. These are the facts, regardless of whether you like them or not.

Nobody is mocking your beliefs. We are just saying they are incompatible with science. Thats not an opinion and its not something you can disagree with without being wrong.

Facts honestly don't care about your faith or feelings.

The only people wrong are the people co fusing faith with science. Simply believing in Shiva, Izanami, or whatever being you think of creation, doesn't make it scientific. You not understanding how something works so your "beliefs" or faith jumping to conclusions to fabricate why it happened, is not scientific.

Just because you believe something, that doesn't make it fact or subjective.

Science is not about beliefs and faith to explain things you lack understanding of. Science is not about faith at all.

This isn't a stalemate or subjective discussion.

It really seems like the bulk of you are more interested in defending an arbitrary definition of what science is than you are in actually endorsing the motivation of what makes science possible. You are literally treating science like it's a religion.

Wasting time arguing this is pointless. I'm going to keep embracing the great discoveries of science while the rest of you plug your ears and assume we know everything already. You're no better than the churches that said the earth was flat while the sun and moon revolved around it.
