Alan Turing did that in the 20th century . He abjured his belief in God because of the death of his girlfriend . It has nothing to with logic and reason .

*facepalm* Still off-topic. But look at this:


Problems that people attribute to Christianity are caused by authorities who used the religion as a pretext for their evil deeds, people who misinterpreted Christianity, and Christians who did not follow principles of Christianity in causing those problems. Yes they are corrupt Christians who did all those, but their actions were not assented by Christianity itself. Those problems were caused by [bad] Christians, not Christianity.

I really hope you get my point now.

And btw, this does not still tell us what atheists achieved in the middle ages.

Deut 17:5 "Then you shall bring forth to your town's gates that man or woman who has done that wicked thing and you shall stone that man or woman to death."

Why are you posting an Old Testament punishment for me? Do you know what a testament is? FYI synonym of "testament" is "law". Look at Old Testament and New Testament this way...Old Law - New Law. Apply your common sense here, now what should that tell you?

People wanted to stone an adulteress to death, what did Jesus tell them? Eh? Christianity is following the teaching of Christ, even if it tells us what the OT regards as being wrong, for God sake, we're not meant to stone anyone to death! That is not Christianity.

Btw, I'm still waiting for you to show me where the Bible said we should kill free thinkers. Free thinkers are not even hinted in that Bible passage. You've already changed the wording of your argument.

So what are you saying?? You see your life? Science doesn't even rely solely on our own insight and intuition, science has rules and principles for crying out loud.

LOL, how could someone be filled with so much misconceptions? Damn cheesy

Atheists would rather destroy such a golden thread which presented a very good opportunity to prove how strong and valid Atheism is simply because they lack any footing or any response.

See how they have resorted to bashing and diversions just to ensure the thread is thrashed.

What a shame! Some of them are just observing with nothing to say..... They know themselves.

Deut 17:5 "Then you shall bring forth to your town's gates that man or woman who has done that wicked thing and you shall stone that man or woman to death."
christians and their lives...why didnt u paste the whole deut 17? Why cop out the preceeding verses?..keep on lying for jesus...

Why are you posting an Old Testament punishment for me? Do you know what a testament is? FYI synonym of "testament" is "law". Look at Old Testament and New Testament this way...Old Law - New Law.
if the old testament is useless why do u have it in the bible?
Why do u then believe in the creation story there ?
Why do u then use verses fromm psalms isaiah etc?
Apply your common sense here, now what should that tell you?
if only u cud apply ur self acclaimed common sense to all of the bible and ur faith...u wud be a better being..

People wanted to stone an adulteress to death, what did Jesus tell them?
u dnt even know ur bible...am ashamed that as an atheist i interprete the bible more than most christians...
What did jesus say about the law ?
Did he say he came to do away with it? Or enforce it?...
Or why then do u not steal? Bear falsewitness? If the old testament is vain?
Jesus forgave the adultress because they left out the male who she committed the act with nd condemned only her...secondly because he had the power to forgive...
Or are u now saying jesus supports adultery?

Did he sayEh? Christianity is following the teaching of Christ,
is christ not god?
Is it man that gave the laws to moses?
Keep killing urself
even if it tells us what the OT regards as being wrong, for God sake, we're not meant to stone anyone to death! That is not Christianity.
is god not the founder of christianity? Are u asking me?

**facepalm**
what is one's own understanding?
For a law in science to be established does it not spring up from someone?
Did graham bell rely on god to create the telephone?
Was it nt his personal understanding nd thinking he used to get some aspects right?


So what are you saying?? You see your life? Science doesn't even rely solely on our own insight and intuition, science has rules and principles for crying out loud.
and science doesnt have observations?
Keep on twisting science to fit ur bible..
Does science deal with our own understanding of the universe or the one god told us?

LOL, how could someone be filled with so much misconceptions? Damn cheesy
for ur mind u fink u made sense...
Maybe its amp version that included insightsef...
In GNT it is only understanding
in KJV it is only understanding..
And FYI insight means gaining deep understanding of smtin...if science doesnt gain deep understanding of something what is now science?

Since when did seeking for help become a bad thing? At least it is better than saying "God did it" leaving no room for any argument or research" undecided

The medieval era was very religious on its own right. Even if there were irreligious scientists or men who have achieved great accomplishments, they would have had to keep it hidden to avoid being killed by the church.

The point of your thread is simple, and I agree, more people who believe believed in a god achieved a lot and still do. That doesn't mean their god is real.

Alexander the Great, was a follower of the Greek polytheistic religion, also called, Hellenism. They worshipped a hierarchy of deities, with Zeus being the king of the gods. By the age of thirty he had created one of the largest empires of the ancient world, stretching from Greece to northwestern India. Does that mean that Zeus is real?

Egypt is the birth of civilization and at the time they worshiped Horus, Osiris etc. Does that mean their gods are real?

Genghis Khan, the Mongolian emperor, was the founder and Great Khan (Emperor) of the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous empire in history after his death. Genghis Khan was a tengrist. So? How does this imply that god is real or that any god is responsible for his success?

There are many great Muslim scholars and many great scientists as well. The Islamic Golden Age, spanning the 8th to the 15th Centuries, saw many great advances in science, as Islamic scholars gathered knowledge from across the known world and added their own findings. Would you then agree that Allah is the greatest and that Mohammed is Allah's prophet?

Nigu please undecided
