You say he was not an atheist but I insist he was. I know he was never a Christian. Christianity goes beyond saying nice things about the faith. Everybody knows he doesn't even look Christian!

EnlightenedSoul:
To say that the vast majority of great scientists do not believe in a personal god is not a gross generalization, but an overwhelming truth.

According to a meta-analysis on the subject in a 2002 Mensa article (Mensa is the society of individuals with high IQs) that acutely piqued my interest to the extent that I held onto it, among others. The author, Bell, wrote:

"...Of 43 studies carried out since 1927 on the relationship between religious belief and one's intelligence and/or educational level, all but four found an inverse connection. That is, the higher one's intelligence or education level, the less one is likely to be religious or hold "beliefs" of any kind."

Religion is chock full of gaps even the unseasoned layman is wont to challenge and dismantle with ease. It should come as no surprise to observe that the intelligent, scientific elite are lacking in 'faith' (which is, in essence, belief without cause and/or evidence, and thus goes against the very nature of science and the principles of the scientific mind). I would go so far as to posit that the figure of scientists said to believe in a deity in the OP (40%) are entirely blown up relative to reality due to the still evident stigma of professing complete and utter atheism.

1. I am a christian and the earth is not six thousand years old . LMAO

2. There are atheists who are scientists or love science and dont see the theory of evolution as a plausible theory

KingEbukasBlog:

What proof ?

1. That life came from the non living without supernatural intervention- a hypothesis or has been replicated in the labs through experiments ?

2. Making up a theory that denies the first cause . No mentioned initial conditions .

Go to sleep Joshua , you've made no point

adejaresalami1:
ode darwin theory should have prove to us where actually that life started from....walahi you should take a deep breath and ask your self where exactly am I coming from,science will always have lies to back up the theory they dont understand.

KingEbukasBlog:


There's none actually seeing that I know no christian needs faith to believe in God .

Joshuabase:


1. shut up according to the bible the earth is six thousand years old

2. stephen hawking once said the universe works independently of whatever you believe in, so either you conform with it or you'll just end up decieveing yourself, regardless of whether there are scientists that don't believe darwin doesn't mean a thing. there is countless evidence that proves the theory of evolution is a fact.

once a gain pleaaase shut up

1.all living organisms are made up of atoms, are atoms alive? you're either still a kid or you just don't use your head to think at all

2. the first cause argument has been debunked for ages. if you tell me the universe had to have a creator that set it into motion, then i have a right to ask you who created your god. even so from what you're telling me your god doesn't need to have a cause because he is absolute then where is he?where is the proof that he exists? nobody has seen or heard from this god but they expect me to believe in him.

science tells me that the universe needed no cause to bring it into existence,but i can see the universe, i know it's real. Do you now see the problem with religion?

AnnieOakley:


Your opinion

Idrismusty97:
Religion demands that you don't think or ask questions, Scientists think and ask questions. That's the different, Religion can only survive in the absent of curiosity, Just accepting everything hook line and sinker. Scientists(And probably the educated and logical people) are curious. They would always be two kinds of people in this world, Those who aren't curios and are submissive without questions, And those who must make sense out of everything. I am no scientists but i am glad to be among the curious ones, Somehow without any tragic events in my life, right when i was very young i just know the whole stuffs about a God and religion just doesn't make sense. It is a beautiful experience knowing you don't need to smash your head on the ground every hour, give out your savings to some clowns to buy private jets or keep waiting for a skydaddy to come rescue you out of your pathetic situation.

KingEbukasBlog:


According to your understanding of the bible - a misconception - the earth is six thousand yours old

KingEbukasBlog:


Facts ? What facts ?

KingEbukasBlog:


Atoms are alive ? . LMFAO ...

KingEbukasBlog:


My God exists outside time and space , so its actually illogical to ask me about God's creator . Oh brother ... I dont need to prove , its common sense .

KingEbukasBlog:


Science does not say that . WTF

omojeesu:


Common sense ALONE should tell a human being that there is a Creator God even on the basis of probability and possibility.

Nature, in its variety and complexity, justifies the existence of a designer and builder.

Just as it is impossible for Toyota Car to comprehend the existence of Mr. Toyota, so it is impossible for man to 'discover' his creator.

God's existence is being denied by man because God had made him to be like Him, God, a rational being, rather than animals of instinct. There is no debate about the existence of God in the Animal Kingdom

If we go to mars, Jupitar, or that Keplar planet tomorrow, and find a dilapidated building there with no occupant, what would be the general perception?

It just appeared a la 'small bang', or some thing(s) built it and left? And that is just a dilapidated building.

Now tell me more about that 'big bang' nonsense again.

A good number of scientist have moved away fron that theory though -- yes, it is senseless.

Joshuabase:


then how old is the earth? according to the bible?

please do your own research.

if anything, this is evidence that you don't know how to read. i asked a question " are atoms alive?"

nothing exists outside of time and space, therefore your god is nothing

stephen hawking, - "because gravity exists, the universe, matter and energy can and will create itself from nothing"

don't argue without knowledge son

Joshuabase:


no good number of scientists have moved away from it, it is still the backbone of modern theoretical physics and there is evidence the big bang happened, do google the keywords "cosmic microwave background"

seriously though where do you people get your information from? or do you just make baseless assumptions about everything?

KingEbukasBlog:


The bible does not say how old the earth is

KingEbukasBlog:


Research about what exactly ?

[/qoute]

the theory of evolution and its evidences

[quote author=KingEbukasBlog post=38660282]

Ok ... I'm sorry ... Im asking you now ,atoms are alive ?

KingEbukasBlog:

You have no understanding of what the universe is then

KingEbukasBlog:




Even smart people say irrational things and make stu.pid decisions - fact . Stephen Hawking is not science . He just gave his opinion , an unreasonable one .

freecocoa:
How about us 'non- christians'? How do we believe in god?

Joshuabase:


life started from inorganic matter, darwin stated that in his theory. if you don't know that then you're as dumb as you are ignorant.

Omotolu:
God defies logic. God does not implore scientification to create anything. By words, God creates stuff which defied logic.

Mindfulness:


Sorry? Stigma? Evident? Where? In the West or in Africa?

One of my dearest mentors, a natural scientist, who retired two years ago, said that his profession didn't make him believe less in a supreme form of intelligence but the more. The more he understood how beautifully and perfectly designed the universe is, the deeper his faith became. This man lives in a country where atheism is en vogue. This is an isolated case but there are plenty of scientists who share his view and those who don't, definitely don't hide them due to some imaginary stigma.

Science and religion are not mutually exclusive.

adejaresalami1:
kindly explain how did the inorganic matter came to existense,its you that is dumb in this state because you fail to understand that there is a supernatural concept behind the existence of life, human brain has a limit that is why it can't comprehend the existence the one that sovereign the whole universe

Tell me why animals can differentiate right from wrong...its the intellect they possess, if its possible to tell a goat about the flying jet what do you think will be the response.

(Phys.org) —The universe may have existed forever, according to a new model that applies quantum correction terms to complement Einstein's theory of general relativity. The model may also account for dark matter and dark energy, resolving multiple problems at once.

The widely accepted age of the universe, as estimated by general relativity, is 13.8 billion years. In the beginning, everything in existence is thought to have occupied a single infinitely dense point, or singularity. Only after this point began to expand in a "Big Bang" did the universe officially begin.

Although the Big Bang singularity arises directly and unavoidably from the mathematics of general relativity, some scientists see it as problematic because the math can explain only what happened immediately after—not at or before—the singularity.

"The Big Bang singularity is the most serious problem of general relativity because the laws of physics appear to break down there," Ahmed Farag Ali at Benha University and the Zewail City of Science and Technology, both in Egypt, told Phys.org.

Scientists at Cern could prove the controversial theory of ‘rainbow gravity’ which suggests that the universe stretches back into time infinitely, with no Big Bang

The detection of miniature black holes by the Large Hadron Collider could prove the existence of parallel universes and show that the Big Bang did not happen, scientists believe.

The particle accelerator, which will be restarted this week, has already found the Higgs boson – the God Particle – which is thought to give mass to other particles.

Now scientists at Cern in Switzerland believe they might find miniature black holes which would reveal the existence of a parallel universe.

And if the holes are found at a certain energy, it could prove the controversial theory of ‘rainbow gravity’ which suggests that the universe stretches back into time infinitely with no singular point where it started, and no Big Bang.

Joshuabase:


obviously they are not.

nothing exists outside the universe ... there is no space,time,matter,energy or any form of energy field. can you imagine a place where there is no space? the 3 dimensional space you move about in? none of it exists outside the universe. therefore just as the number line is infinite. the universe is also infinite and both of them are contained within each other.

Joshuabase:


this is a question i like to ask all theists, have you personally seen the god you believe in?

if the answer is no, then shut the Bleep and go sit in a corner.
