Science, itself, isn't about truth. It is about a certain kind of "consistency" and "predictability".

Scientific findings are not "true", they are "currently accepted in the field". Science evolves.

And, in general, scientists are no more honest than anybody else. Because something is "scientifically accepted" does not mean it is true.

The worst recent case of deception in the scientific community is the supposed confirmation of the Higgs Boson.

You will recall that, during the theatrical debacle, designed to justify investment in enhancing the Large Hadron Collider, Stephen Hawking actually pretended that he had lost his bet that the the Higgs Boson did not exsist, and Peter Higgs was awarded the Nobel Prize!!
so the 1+1=2 evolves?
Or in the future the hearts work will no longer be used for pumping blood?

Seun,

You said scientists have a good record of saying the truth.(LOL) In 2007, fishermen caught a very rare creature known as a Coelacanth. Evolutionists originally told us that this “living fossil” had gone extinct 70 million years ago. It turns out that they were only off by 70 million years. See the link here: [url]news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6925784.stm[/url]

Perhaps, the most famous fossil in the history of the theory of evolution, "Piltdown Man", turned out to be a giant hoax. See the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piltdown_Man

Chai! LOL grin I laugh at the way "scientists" deceive these gullible atheists.

Cc: donffd
do you know twas an atheist that discovered the hoax?

I've cut out your essay, as it is irrelevant.

All your post boils down to is "like, seriously..."

Now try to act rationally, and cut to the chase. Quote the part in your link which says that the existence of the Higgs Boson has been scientifically proven.

I'm telling you right now, it doesn't say or imply that, and, if you think that it does, it means you cannot read anywhere near critically enough to understand or be debating about science.

1 + 1 = 2 isn't science. It is mathematics. To be precise, it is a mathematical definition.

As for your second rhetorical question, it also shows lack of understanding. There are many examples in the scientific theory of evolution, itself, of co-option and exaptation.

Unfortunately, this is typical. People who follow science mainly through popular media have little idea of what they are supporting.

You can only be an angry atheist by loosing a dear one or failed request to a heartcry. This is only what can motivate one to spend hours of his day on hate.

You can only be an angry Christian and not believe in Allah by loosing love once or relatives or ur fellow Christians to maybe bomb blast like ur other moniker truthman2012?

Anger is not acquired by simply lack of or misunderstanding of scriptures, it is acquired by an experience. A terrible experience.
And it is the only motivation they need to fight back.
Yes that anger that truthman2012 spill on Muslims is cause of his basics understanding of the Quran

Just as the earthly realm and the space realm follows different laws and patterns, the realm of God is different on its own working system. On earth anything we throw up must surely come down, but it doesn't work like that in the space realm. In the earth and space realms everything that has a beginning must have and ending, but it doesn't work like that in the realm of God with an entirely different working system.

Seun,

For the records, I'm not a catholic and I don't believe the catholic church is a Christian organization: it's a pagan one actually. I'm not an Anglican, either.

I'm a Bible-believing Christian. Don't bring the activities of the catholic church into this. Even the Bible knows the earth is spherical, but the Catholic church chose to teach otherwise.
U are just a [size=20pt]Hypocrite[/size] the same Bible(NT) that the Catholic church compiled?

Absolutely, just as music is independent of musical notation.

Nature doesn't care about the models scientists use to describe it. Models have become obsolete, even. The nature they described remains.

Dude, you havent actually read anything about Evolution by Natural selection, because if you have, you would not sprout such things like "a frog suddenly turned into a snake" and the painful part of it is that you dont want to learn about it because you have already made up your mind.

So i guess more grace to your elbows, but i do advice you, when you are in an intellectual gathering, don't say what you just said, because 99% of the people there would just laugh at you.

If you want to figure out about the existence of God just drop the Bible and take a deep look into the structure of creation. The Bible is never an evidence that God exists. The Bible only used God to create stories. The fact that the stories are fictional doesn't mean the concept of God is not true. Saying that God is inexistent because the Bible is fictional is like saying Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn't exist because he featured in a fictional movie.
If you are an atheist because the Bible is fictional then that is the wrong way to be an atheist.

Well, nature is indeed a mystery. However, the more we study, the more we understand it. Look at it this way, if I was to say that due to the structure of the earth that aliens are responsible, would you agree? Seems you are leaning towards deism.

I agree. The bible is only good for smoking weed and as toilet tissue.



There are over 4,000 version of "God". Which one are you talking about?



We have seen Arnold. No one has seen "God".



I am an atheist because there is no evidence for any of the gods. If "God" knocks on my door and says hi I will believe. Promise grin
When I mention "God" I am refering to the intelligent force behind the intelligent design of creation. I don't really know what you believe is the force behind creation. So if I may ask, since you believe there is no intelligent force behind creation, what you think is responsible for the intelligent designs and complexity of things in existence?

Many people don't have the time to study evolution in depth. For such people, it makes sense to simply accept it because scientists accept it.

Please read this blog post for some enlightenment: https://rarebible./2009/12/06/false-prophecies-of-jesus/ sad
What I see happening with evolution is the same thing that happened with religion. It's not really about studying in depth or not. It is about success. If successful people are associated with a thing, with time it catches on. With Islam it was trade and superior knowledge of warfare and literacy. With Christianity it was Literacy, route to a better life, fancy clothes and European type houses. Success will sell anything. Evolution to me is a probability stretched to the position of lab experiment type of fact. And it is not.

Science is also politicized and battle hardened. It is the David that has turned into the Goliath. It has become dogmatic.

Darwin's Theory of Evolution (ToE) is an hypothesis, not a theory, despite all the claims.

ToE will remain an hypothesis at the very least until it can prove its claim that mutations of DNA are "undirected". This explicit denial of the teleological argument needs to be proven, because ToE is not silent on the issue.

If you buy a mathematics text book for your kid and you see that on the first page it says "1+1=11", would that not be sufficient for you to start disputing the source of the book especially when the writer claims to have a masters degree?

Besides, there are lots of other loophole like for instance, there is no proof of Jesus' existence and also the Israelites were never slaves under Egypt as depicted in the bible. Also, most of the stories are plagiarized.



Actually, the inconsistencies are very good points for refuting the claims of Jehovah. Remember also that atheists speak against ALL religons.



As a matter of fact, when you read ALL "holy" books, you will find out they are full of loopholes.

The same way you would view the writings in all other books is the same way other theists, not just atheists view yours.

For instance, muslims will never agree that Jesus is the son of god just like a Buddhist or Hindustan will not agree that Yahweh/Jehovah are the supreme gods. Remember, even among Christians there are lots of disagreements about the translation of certain texts and also religious practices. If Christians cannot come to a concession on the interpretations of the bible,to the extent of having 33,000 different denominations, why should anyone else? undecided



I am not a scientist though, however judging by the evidence presented by history against religion and also the lack of evidence by religion to prove their various gods, it is safe to say none of these gods as proposed by religion is the true god.

Maybe you should read more on history of your religion and other religions to get the point

smiley

I am sorry for your display of total ignorance of Christianity. You seem to believe any other convenient alternate theory.

Why did all Jesus disciples die violent deaths?
How come some "unexplainable" are still happening in Jesus Name?
How come the early non-christian historians such as Josephus and the roman record spoke about "a certain cristus-a jewish magician" that was killed during the reign of Pilate?

This same Jesus you will see when you die? Read my Friend!
