Totally agree. I was only trying to point out the stupid statement expressed before... i.e 'if most catholic priests believe in god then he must exist...'

You are totally wrong!!!... he helped cure my torn hamstring...

But the very definition of being a muslim and a religious jew is that one believes and has faith that Jesus existed (and that god made adam and that noah saved all those animals....) hardly an objective proof is it? More of a tautology....?

For this statement to make sense you need to define philosophy and religion...

He would have done more good if he had shown us how penicillin could be used! Millions of lives would have been saved from horrible deaths if He had done just this simple thing. Why did he not do that? Of course if god had not created all these terrible diseases in the first place....

Deserves to be read again and again...

No.. this thread will probably exist for longer than the word association thread... personally I am happy that people have their faith or whatever it takes to allow them to live their lives in joy. As long as they do not impose... or preach... or scare little children into obedience.. or deny...

Yes I agree.... not knowing for some strange reason = god. The god of the gaps.... yes and science means work whilst religion means ?

Yes he did work on the hydrogen and helium elements within stars and stuff I am not familiar with.... but my point was that.. all great scientists are not right all of the time (newton?)and that for unscientific people to then quote those mistakes and claim a victory is a pretty mean thing to do...

Well... you may think you are not dumb... but so do cows and sheep. Can you even define what science is? I would love to hear you view.

No and I would agree that he contributed much to science at the time.... but he was not around to see the discovery of the background radiation nor the fact that the universe is expanding... and he would have changed his views. I agree he was a great scientist... in his time! I just hate people...

Maybe... but tell me what! Cos I have seen nothing... But he did write some ok science fiction...

This is where we part company.... because you feel everything is so mysterious then 'how can it occur by accident or chance'? Incredulous belief syndrome! Well once upon a time the sun and the stars.. not to mention the wind and the rain were 'mysterious' and thus attributed to 'god'. But surely...

He believed in a steady state theory.. and did not believe in the evolution of chemicals to explain how life began. What are these later calculations?

I can witness billions of miracles every day!... but why are these by accident? Or do you mean by chance? Flip a coin an infinite number of times and you will get an infinite sequence of heads! This may seem a miracle to you but to a mathematician it is an obvious occurrence! Happens every...

So how come you do not see the hole in your head? Jeez... it is like trying to teach quantum mechanics to sheep...

No... not my opinion. It is the opinion of the scientific community. Or else show me otherwise. I am quite willing to accept I am wrong.... in fact it is encouraged!! So go ahead... who else today thinks Hoyle is correct?

Well Buddha said that he could only point the way.... but in terms of one's feelings, it is well documented that our experience can be false. Our knowledge of the world has evolved via our senses which do not accord with reality. Which is why we cannot see ultra violet light directly. And why we...

No. But the scientific evidence from the result of the big bang is there for all to see. The evidence for god is less well founded...

He is not liked in rational scientific modern societies because his statement is stupid and demonstrates a huge ignorance. But then again.. we have learned much from the 1950s and if he were alive today he would not say such rubbish.
