It is the height of dishonesty to claim that science and Christianity are mutually exclusive. It is likewise the height of dishonesty, and there is no shortage of dishonesty of course among atheists, for them to claim intellectual supremacy, and that BECAUSE of their (claimed) universal supremacy, all of their arrogant pronouncements are correct,…[Read more]

First of all, thanks for the insults (lol). When someone has no real argument or simply do not know how to debate, they default to insults.
Secondly, I made no claims here about anything. I simply joined the thread but will respond to your point.
Science and religion can be compatible, depending on the believer’s Christian denomination (and…[Read more]

I was talking about atheists in general, not you specifically. I thought I made that clear. Atheists are thoroughly hateful, condescending, and vulgar. Not exactly the qualities one would expect from those pretending to be so very rational and enlightened.
-
Ever heard of the Westboro Baptist Church? And I have personally had conversations that start with “you have no morals”, or “you will be going straight to hell”. There is certainly enough arrogance and bad manners on both sides to go around.
-
Teaching Moment:
1. Westboro Baptist Church is a small group of insane individuals who should be locked up. They are so small in percentage as to be insignificant.
2. Atheists are consistently hateful, consistently condescending, consistently arrogant and pretentious. They take their cue from haters like Richard Dawkins, a professor.
-
Teaching moment-
1. VP Mike Pence is in that same category. He just lies about it publically.
2. I agree that Dawkins can be a jerk. However, there are many evangelicals that fit those adjectives as well. And many radical Muslims that would love to literally kill you and me.

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 1 month agoFinally, some evidence: Here are Edwin Hubble’s words in the 1937 Royal Astronomical Society Monthly Notices:
“If the red shifts are a Doppler shift . . . the observations as they stand lead to the anomaly of a closed universe, curiously small and dense, and, it may be added, suspiciously young.
“On the other hand, if red shifts are not Dop…[Read more]

She disagrees and says the 10 commandments is the basis. I shouldn’t have done it but I said “Oh yeah? name them.

-
There is plenty of evidence and good reason(s) to accept it as our best (current) understanding of the Universe. I will do up a post on it soon.

Thanks, Reg. 88 years are a bunch and happily I’m in good health.
Re my snarky Q, don’t do a post on evidence. Instead, one on your understanding of when consensus replaced evidence. My understanding follows.
It happened in the decades after 1957 when the USSR put a man into orbit. The Cold War was going strong and America’s leaders reali…[Read more]

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 4 months agoIt is difficult (impossible) to imagine. While we don’t yet know exactly how it happened it is the consensus that all matter and energy in the Universe once existed in a volume less than one-trillionth the size of the period at the end of this sentence.

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 5 months, 2 weeks agoOh I like that, Robert! What an excellent excuse!
”I didn’t turn up to the meeting because I was reviewing my calendar in my head from a past life”
”I thought I’d paid you back, but it must have been in a past life”
“No, officer, I think you’re mixing me up with someone from a past life of yours”
I will try it out and keep you posted!

I watched some early morning TV recently and tuned into an episode of “The Doctors”. I did not know much about the show having only ever seen it in parts before then. I was not really paying much heed to it until I heard them say that “coming up next” there will be a segment on the merits of “past life regression” as a form of therapy. Goo…[Read more]

Thanks, Tom – you always seem to give me a healthy skepticism for ‘scientific announcements’.

Strega, when government departments have done what Congress funded them to do, Congress cuts their budgets and they have to reduce their payrolls. This time it’s NASA’s turn.
