Religion and science: Ignorance is NOT rationality.

Asking questions is easy. It is far harder to find reliable answers. It can be harder still to accept them (or even contemplate them).

During the Fukushima disasters there was a media moment where an organizer made sure to communicate that while they appreciate aid packages, shipping bibles would take space and weight where water, food or blankets would be better received.

Religion while the intent may be good, often does more harm. Just look at what the Catholic church is doing in Africa regarding condom use. They are in effect committing genocide.

@nolobede Religion already does that to itself. Money misguidedly spent i feel; but at least a good portion of it goes to good causes (I hope).

Actually gravity plays virtually no part in particle interaction, it's mostly electro-magnetic in nature. And a 2006 paper entitled 'A Universe Without Weak Interactions' (Harnik, R. et al) explains that a universe without the Weak Nuclear Force would be largely unchanged from our own. Therefore half of the forces that govern the universe aren't required to sustain life.

Some "fine tuning", eh?

@PascalsWager5 I think he was trying to point out the difference between the intuition on the probability of Gods existence and the complex religion that says with absolute certainty God exists. Its easy to justify the first, the second not so much.

You'd really have to count the assertions in the bible, not the no of words

@socratus1

In short you're argument is..."Its ok if the Bible is wrong, because we can always change what it means"?

[socratus1]

Bible’s stories Old Bible story: "He... hanged the Earth upon nothing " / Job 26:7 / New Bible story: According to the many scientific experts however, space and time didn't exist prior to the Big Bang It is possible to say, "He... hanged the Big Bang upon nothing " This situation is strange But if we think that ‘nothing’ is a Reference Frame ( Vacuum) then the situation will be different # Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts / Richard Feynman /
