Dawkins does not deserve to be in the same room as Taylor.

After death colors of religion fade away...says Great Guru Nanak. Its your deeds that go with you. Th e best religion? According to Guru Nanak is:

1. Good actions

2. Belief in one God

and there are infinite of these throughout nthis and other universes.

@American2100 But how does one know which actions are good and which are bad? Good isn't simply what the people love/like and neither is bad simply what people hate/dislike. To figure this out, the right religion has to be followed and only one religion can be true because each religion has differences in what they think is right and what they think is wrong. I believe and know that Islam is the true way of life.

ya thats true

So Muhammed Bari is threatening the british public... not a good idea maybe...

This was completely sugar-coated bullshit. Religion is false. It's a tax that humanity has to pay right now. We'll eventually move past it. Religious apologists such as these are rational people being shackled by religion.

[rootberg]

Open a book on the history of theology and you will see that you are factually wrong.

[American2100]

science is a way of thinking and if religion has revealed some of what science is doing now, why can it not be scientific. Realization of truth with religion is through spiritualitty and with science is through experimentation, observations....both may lead to one fundamental point.

Templeton prizewinner- stopped right there

For some interesting discourse on the epistemic infallibility of science you could look to T.S. Kuhn- The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Science is but a single lens we use to make sense of this very confusing world we live in. Sometimes it is more apt, sometimes not. Most often structures of knowledge which dont openly accept speculation are referred to as fundamentalism.
