Wrong! Their views and findings helped in confirming the existence of intelligence and an intelligent designer.
design =yes
intelligent=no

Those discoveries actually compliment religion and not refute it.
u mean the findings that snakes cannot talk?
Or that the moon being divided into by muhammed is a bed nite story?

Science is the finger of nature pointing at a creator but only upholders of truth will attest to this.
this is where the deity becomes the issue..
Science points at best to ''creators''
each in their own specialization
not a creator..

Why its actually called a discovery is because it has been there all along but only now visible.
yes

Inventions are just extensions of nature and further proof of intelligence behind the universe as only intelligence can birth complexity.
and it all breaks down when that intelligence does not conform to the one presented in these ''holy books'' of the supposed deities.

religion at that time usually supressed scientific knowledge...terming it ''hearsay'' and tools of the ''devil''
theres a bible verse o...which says we shouldnt
but im saying if they had kept on believing what was passed on in ''holy books'' as truth of the world...they wouldnt !
This things are garbage you've heard from atheists high pruests and websites. They are not true. I dont really have time tonight, I would have floored this nonsense.

What is the Bible verse?

You'll need to expose them to both sides so they can choose for themselves, anything short of that is indoctrination. Please dont forget to come back here and tell us what they chose.

like I said, small children aren't allowed into strip clubs

aren't you capable of thinking deeper and giving a better example?

All wrong. Fact is that even you know that you are fighting a futile battle known as shadow boxing and will only wear yourself out in the end.

Many like you have cone and gone and religion has not moved backwards one inch. It has rather gone forward in leaps and bounds so why all your fussing?

You can invite strippers to your home. The point is just expose them to both sides and make your inferences, let us in too.


As for me, I will train up my child in the way he SHOULD go, not the way he wants to go.

It is unscientific to be theistic (religious) as well as been atheistic. In order to be scientific towards knowledge and to maintain a vast intellectual stance, the agnostic approach is highly recommended.

Newton was ignorant of that fact and needed to be corrected.

I have no passion for that. I will rather be interested in living on Mars and leave you people here on earth in isolation.

When we leave earth for you in order to dominate Mars, Jesus will come and rapture will take place cuz we ain't taking you along.

I wonder what is the difference btw a NON-BELIEVER/UN-BELIEVER and an ATHIEST?

Well the Bible has always and is still the highly placed authentic Best-Seller book of all time- did i hear you ask WHY?

Go check it out yourself putting aside ur human knowledge.

As for the "SO CALLED MAN OF GOD" who denounced his faith in CHRIST JESUS is no new thing; if only most of you(UN-BELIEVERS) would truly take your time in studying the word of GOD, from where flows the fountain of Life...

Besides the afore mentioned 'MOG' was a product of Indoctrination as most pple who fall out of faith do.

Galileo was a christian who was killed by the catholic, many other christians were also killed by the catholic. William tyndale was killed for translating the Bible to english. The spanish inquisition, crusades, witchcraft burnings was masterminded by the catholic. We are aware of all the evils the catholic has committed.

I am not getting your point.

And when did:
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.…" Proverbs 3:5


Become:

"Do not engage in the understanding of your world, for God will be angry with you and you will be killed by the catholic church."


Go and check other atheist website fir the verse, the website that gave you this verse is terrible. lol



You know why those scientists wanted to get answers for humanity, The needed answers for the earth, living organisms, etc.

"But now ask the beasts, and let them teach you; And the birds of the heavens, and let them tell you. "Or speak to the earth, and let it teach you; And let the fish of the sea declare to you. "Who among all these does not know That the hand of the LORD has done this,…" Job 12:7-9

There are still a lot of things the universe needs to teach us my friend, our learning is constant.
