I somehow don't think that dirty goatherds who raped their daughters and mutilated their sons' genitals and wrote on papyrus while dying of diseases they attributed to demons knew quote as much about the physics of the universe and molecular biology as the modern scientific community.

you don't know shit- you are delusional.

take care.

Physics doesn't need a Darwin because in this field there's too much too do to see to know to ever care about god(s) even if you thought there was one you'd never say it at work because it only waste time

@allahtakesituptheass Wish I could triple-like this comment. If there is a heaven that lets people in based on these sorts of 'rules'.. That heaven would be full of people that would drive me crazy. It would be my personal hell.

@allahtakesituptheass I couldn't have said it better.

@pillsareyummy you are correct. I still can't figure out why they would do that though, it just seems SOOOOOOOOOOOOO silly.

Viva Montaigne.

@tristramshandy3 That's nonsense. There are those who believe in God, however don't believe that 'it' watches, cares, nor interferes with nature (even though they would believe that that God had some role in the creation of the universe). Those people would be called 'deists'. Not all believers fall under the term 'theist' (those who believe that God not only exists, but that 'he' cares and interferes with 'his' creations).

@SaberOtaku what you describe, some kind of cosmic energy, isn't a god at all. The notion of GOD is of something that watches over humans, that judges us. You are just using traditional god language to describe something that isn't traditional at all.
