That is like saying a cook book contradicts a book on architecture. Science is a study of the objective. Religion/philosophy is a study of the subjective. Science and religion are two very different things, much like a rock and beauty are two different things.There is brainwashing, indoctrination, and blind faith. Blind in the sense that the faith contradicts modern science.
What people don't understand is that over a hundred years ago, the Catholic Church was fine with the theory of evolution. I know, because my grandmother went to a Catholic nursing school back in the day (mid 1920s), and that is where she learned it. It is (and has been) one of many things Catholics can decide individually. This always seems to shock non-Catholics, even Christian non-Catholics.And now the Catholic church needs to throw superstitious beliefs on 'creation' out the window, and then try to sneak it back in the back door to sit alongside of Darwinian evolution.
I am doing neither harm nor good. I am simply enjoying a discussion.You're doing more harm than good here, by providing atheists an audience.
Grin. You may have missed the point of the story.Yeah, we still have that problem with living 3 days in the big fish's belly!
I am confused. What is there to manufacture?You must be trying to manufacture something to take the place of the proof we know doesn't exist.
If I believe first, can you promise the proof will follow?
Correct, you were born an atheist like everyone else, then got indoctrinated and brainwashed.my lack of knowledge of Hinduism or Taoism makes me ignorant, it doesn't mean I escaped being indoctrinated or brainwashed.
And humble. <= Btw, that's called satire.If you truly studied religion/Bible/Koran, you would know that I am not only honest, but correct.
Tell us about all the competing religions/ gods which contradict your religion / gods.Think about that Judge's statement.
"I can't define pornography, but I know it when I see it."
Apply that.
Yes, I was born ignorant like everyone else, and then was educated.Correct, you were born
So the lack of an explanation is proof that some god exists?Life, itself, for starters. No atheist has EVER given a good explanation as to how life came about. I've heard a few, very weak possibilities, but even those flimsy explanations can't explain how nothing produced something. The human body and all of its intricate parts and pieces are a work & result of pure design. All designs are produced by a designer.
And like all people you are for more ignorant than you are educated as there will always be more things you do not know than you do know.Yes, I was born ignorant like everyone else, and then was educated.
Until the end I thought you were going to say atheism.
Why do you assume there are multiple steps? Your belief system has a single magic step, and you have not provided any evidence for it that makes it any more valid than any other religious or nonreligious belief.So why don't you lay it out for us. Starting with step one all the way to the current status of life:
Step one:
Step two:
Step three:
Step four:
There ... I even provided a template for you.
So by that argument, God can't exist, because it couldn't have just popped out of nothing.I've heard a few, very weak possibilities, but even those flimsy explanations can't explain how nothing produced something.
Just as suspected and anticipated. A total sidestep. You know what DIDN'T bring life into existence, but have no clue (whatsoever) what did. Just give us your best guess. It could be entertaining.Why do you assume there are multiple steps?

You are the one claiming to know the truth, yet you have nothing to support it with. What I know, is that forces in the universe interact in such a way as to create various structures. If it's because of a creator, there are countless to choose from, and the one you've made the choice to believe has no better argument for it than any of the others.Just as suspected and anticipated.

Aaannnndddd ... another fail. As the old saying goes ... "if at first you don't succeed, then try, try again." The clueless trying to educate others on how to be clueless.You are the one claiming to know the truth, yet you have nothing to support it with.

Faith inherently rejects needing a rubric for proof at all. When pressed, atheists will admit to being agnostic, while theists will demand you adhere to whatever they've been indoctrinated to believe.The rubrics of proof differ for theists and atheists.
