Religion and science, we all know.. Over the years, religion have claimed to know everything about the existence of man, religion even claims to know how life began on earth, but that isn't the sad part, the sad part is that there are actually people out there who believe that a book written over a thousand years ago by some con artist, is all they need to know about life, is their daily guide to a peaceful and "sin-free" coexistence.


Below is an illustration comparing the knowledge held by science and religion.


Religion believes that yes, it has attained all that is to know about the world and therefore there are no room for improvements or additions, that's why it's borders are closed.

Science on the other hand is still learning about the world, and looking at the lines for science, they are infinite (no limit), science knows a better deal about the world, but that isn't it, it still has a lot to learn and there are always room for improvement.


Look at the environment around you, the device that you use, what if man have been praying over the course of the years? Would we have gotten this far? NO! Because well we all know, prayer is equivalent to doing nothing!

Now, religion is a CULT of people who DON'T THINK! Religious people tend to disprove logic when it comes to matters concerning religion, but if it doesn't concern religion, well, "WE NEED PROOF". These people act paradoxically without even thinking for a moment, "what am I doing".

When the topic is religion, they tend to not use their brains, but once it's science, these people then turn Einstein, and start asking useless questions like, "where is the proof"..

Now go to a church and give testimony of how a handsome man in white drew you out of the car when your car was about to crash, but then after you were saved from the accident, you didn't see the man again, then watch how the whole congregation will be like "praise Jehovah, thank you Jesus", without anyone questioning the logic behind this ridiculous story.

Now go tell the same people a story of how aliens came to you with their UFOs, and were communicating with you... Then watch them go "where is the proof, don't you have a camera? Where are the photos and videos? You think we will just believe that Nonsense?".

Lol cheesy actually how these people fail to see the irony in their actions baffles me a lot.

Now, religious people believe in an INTELLIGENT DESIGN, because well, the DNA is TOO COMPLEX to have formed on it's own.

It's funny really, how you believe that the DNA, a complex structure, must have a creator, but a more complex structure, "God", doesn't have a creator.. Lol, cheesy take a look at this.
[b]

Fil: Science has found god.

Me: really? How?

Fil: it has discovered that the DNA is too complex, so it must have a creator.

Me: lol cheesy but the DNA could have easily existed by mistake.

Fil : Now I know atheism is a mental disorder, how can you say that the complex DNA has no creator? Bro can you listen to yourself, bro sorry to say, but you are a fool.

Me: lol cheesy so anyone who believes that complex things came by mistake is a fool?

Fil: a fool, no doubt.

Me: between DNA and God, which is more complex?

Fil: Mysteri....

Me: shut up and just answer me.

Fil: God.

Me: so you, your father, your mother, your whole family, your pastor, your bishops, your overseers, they are all fools for believing a complex god had no creator.

FIL...

Me: fil, are you there?
..... cheesy

Dan: what if you are wrong and there is God, and you burn in hell for eternity for being an atheist.
Me: what if you are wrong and also burn in hell for being a Christian and not a Muslim?
Dan: Christianity is the true religion.
Me: I've heard that from many people from different religions, so who am I to believe?
Dan: my religion.
Me: so said everyone..
[/b]
This is how little religious people think, they don't see the bigger picture, they love to center around their useless books, instead of actually discovering and seeing the world as it really is.

The only way a religious person can think, is to finally break free from the shackles of religion, but is that really possible when they have all clouded their judgments with myopia?? I don't think so....

Your assertions are myopic, in fact your attack on religion is borne out of your ignorance. How could you claim that the religious books are written by corn artists? Isn't this statement of yours preposterous? You think religion is all about dogma alone. The Christian religion has given everyone the grace to prove and disprove everything written in the Bible. "search all things and hold on to what is true"
Most scientific breakthroughs and discoveries are achieved by curiously reading the Bible and trying to either prove or disprove the bible. Every history written in the Bible is with landmark /landscape or description of a place which some scientists in the past had thought to be lie, however recent archaeological evidences are proving most to be right.
Note this those who believe in evolution simply because they thought they had evidences against the creationist account of the book of Genesis has not find any fossil(s) of any specie of animal or plants that they could say existed after human being. And we have this in Genesis that after the six creation day God rested from his works of creation. Have you heard of any new specie discovered ?
Next time you want to criticise religion please don't commit hasty generalisations, it is fallacious.

Observe the following images and respond please I would like to hear from you

That's Exactly what indoctrination does to people...

yeah, it makes you gloss over such idiotic acts of your own god while magnifying that of other gods

just watch Christians and Muslims have a go at each other on this platform and you'll see that they can pick apart their opponent's beliefs with ease, the reason for this is that while a theist suspends logic when it comes to his/her own beliefs, they judge EVERYTHING ELSE with logic

Ya right, they're called raelians not atheists! Atheism is no belief!

Raelians are atheists because they don't hold any belief in deities . Those atheists believe that aliens created life on earth . They reject evolution .

benzics:
It is a state of mind where one says NO to assumptions, and pursue facts! At least, reasonable things!

Atheism is still a belief anyway and the belief there is no God is a supposition . The existence of God is factual , Atheism is denial more like rejection of God . As far as you reject gods or deities you are an atheist . That means an atheist can believe in witchcraft , superstition , reincarnation , veneration of ancestral spirits , magic etc .

benzics:
For you to believe in an intelligent design, you are no free thinker
It depends as what you see as intelligent design. Theistic evolutionists see natural selection as a mechanism for creation . Life is intelligently designed , the contentious issue should be , by what mechanism .

benzics:
because the idea of the intelligent design was embedded in you by your superiors

Funny enough that's what the raelians who like I mentioned before are atheists believe . They believe this idea of intelligent design has been passed down from generations for 6,000 years .

benzics:
I can't believe in an unproven assumption, that's atheism!

Actually that's fallacious reasoning - appeal to ignorance fallacy . You surmise that God does not exist because of the supposed lack of contrary evidence . If that is what you call atheism, then no wonder it is illogical and repulsive to any logical human

AlfaAce:

they coined god? I agree that religious extremism and dogma has caused more harm than good(if any at all),but you shouldn't go to the extent of saying they coined 'GOD' .God's existence is far too evident to be denied.It takes real logic to fully come to terms with the fact that not everything can be humanly rationalized.

I understand you bro....
First, I will like to clarify that the god of the Christian and the entirety of religion didn't equate the existence of an intelligent designer.
God and intelligent designer are just two separate entity. Meaning that if God truly exist then the existence of an intelligent designer is null and if an intelligent designer truly exist them it vindicates that the existence of God is void.

That is because the god(s) of any religion ain't meet the standard of an intelligent designer.

Secondly, if anyone should prove to the world the existence of a Creator, it shouldn't be some silly religious folks sitting their black ass in the dark part of the world and confidently telling the world the Creator that Created the Cosmic. It should instead be some sane personalities among us that are more exposed to the outer world.

Thirdly, whether a god exist or not shouldn't be our concern. No one gains any attention in suspense. The anonymity of this god is questionable.
What an anonymous god is telling the world is that it doesn't care and doesn't need our attention. Then why giving it a waste?

Don't forget that we have thousand of god(s) please.

Or u didn't know that the bible support the notion of a flat earth?. And plss there is ample evidence- not proof- of evolution, creationism is just fairy tales... And there are a lot of historical inaccuracies in the bible. Not to mention the contradictions therein, especially in the new testament

The Second Law of Thermodynamics Confirms Psalm 102:26
First, let us consider the science of thermodynamics: In Psalm 102:25,26, we read, "Of old hast Thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of Thy hands. They shall perish, but Thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt Thou change them, and they shall be changed."

In verse 25, we find, restated, the fact that God is the Creator of all that exists. Verse 26 then tells us something highly significant, not about the initial, created state of the universe, but about the present state of the universe. According to this Scripture, written three thousand years before the dawn of modern science, we learn that the universe is like a suit of clothes that is wearing out. In other words, the universe is running down, deteriorating, constantly becoming less and less orderly.

That is not what most people believed when this Scripture was recorded. According to human observations, the universe was unchangeable. The statement that the universe is constantly becoming more random, less orderly, is a scientifically testable statement. The fact that the universe, in its present state is deteriorating, has been fully verified by modern science. Everywhere we look, from the scale of the galaxies down to the scale of the atom, we find a universal, natural tendency of all systems to go from order to disorder; from complexity to simplicity. Thus, clusters of galaxies are dispersing as the galaxies move away from one another.

The rotation of the earth is slowing; the magnetic field of the earth is decaying. Erosion constantly wears down the features of the earth. Our bodies wear out; we die and decay to a pile of dust. Our houses, our machines wear out and are finally abandoned and replaced. Many atoms decay to simpler products, and it is even being postulated that sub-atomic particles, such as the proton, decay, though ever so slowly, into energy.
