leslieu63: I feel so honored to be the third comment. All of
my hardwork and dedication has paid off.
Getting the top comment has been a dream of
mine for many years, and I would like to thank
those who have helped me along the way. First
and foremost I would like to thank God for
giving me this opportunity. Next I would like to
thank my parents. I want to thank my dog
maggie, for being really fat and always there for
me. Next I would like to thank the squirrel that
lives in my backyard for climbing trees because
that gives me inspiration that I need to get
through the day. This is a special moment in my
life and I would like to thank any of my
unmentioned friends and family that have
helped me along the way. This moment will be a
moment that I will never forget. I just
remembered a few other people I would like to
thank; facebook, the fish I caught in the third
grade, my light in my room because I wouldn’t
be able to see the keyboard without it, the
internet for letting me go on facebook, my
house because without it I would be homeless,
and last but not least I would like to thank all
the people out there that actually took time out
of their day to read this. I cannot stress how
much of a big deal to me this is. I have been
trying to be the first comment on a post for
years, but that has not been possible until this
amazing day. Hopefully my good luck will
continue, but this is undoubtedly a rare
occasion. If you asked me how I did this, I
would say, you can achieve anything that you , you can achieve anything that you set
your mind on. To all the kids out there reading
this, I would like to tell them to follow their
dreams. Being the top comment is amazing,
thank you everyone!

wiegraf: I am familiar with the topic, what I don't understand is how you expect science to consider spirits, souls or whatever you want to call that. At best, that's trollish (in which case, well done, as I'm fairly irritated), worse, you really don't understand what science is about. You want science to consider imaginary stuff in its calculations? Do you think there are millions of little people in your computer furiously switching things and putting on little lights in order to illuminate your monitor? Or maybe when you make a call some invisible man listens then runs at the speed of light to the other end to relay your message? Faith is not a factor where science is concerned, not at all. To come around now and suggest so is so....

Let me put it in perspective a christian may understand (again, not sure how you guys seem completely unable to see other pov). You know how some muslims oppressed by the system in their countries decide 'well, the grass is greener on the other side so I might as well work my way out of this hell hole'. Said muslims then work their way out their country and reach more prosperous lands, a lot of the time at great cost too. Upon arriving though guess what these great examples of human reasoning do? They ask for shariah. A critical part of the system which they escaped, they somehow show up and logically deduce it is better than the system which they struggled to get into. Which they have admitted is superior to the system they escaped from by their going out of their way to join. Sheer arrogance or unadulterated stupid.ity, I don't know. Can you see what I am saying now?

It could get even worse, but it seems you've not crossed that line yet. Some start to somehow credit science's accomplishments to some faith based system...

If you tag this thread as christian only, then you're good, atheists would just take this as religious people just being religious. As it stands now its premises are flagrantly incorrect.

wiegraf: I have no idea as to what you are trying to convey here.

dorox: I think that whichever position is taken, Freewill or Determinism will run into difficulty when stretched to absolutes, same thing happens when you compare Nature agains Nuture.
I will illustrate my view with the help of an anology. Consider the split between Freewill and Determinism to be like a game of chess, what the players can do has already been predetermined by the size of the board, number of piece, rules of the game and time allowed to finish the game. But within these constraints a player has a near infinite choice of moves to finish a game. Faced with the same problem two players might chose different moves bounded by the constraints of the game.
I admit that no anology is perfect, but my point is that whatever action we take or decide not to take is predetermined by a complex web of constraints governing our individual existence and withing these constraints are infinite choices to be made.

wiegraf: Why should spirituality be considered under scientific conditions? That's not valid at all, but give more context and I might see why you add that. Or is this question for theists only? If so you should indicate
