What he's saying is basically the same as the "non overlapping magisteria" argument that Stephen Jay Gould gave.

[namnack]

@jessemaurais Agreed.

Richard Dawkins says that about 90% of all top scientists from the National Academy of Science are atheists and don't have religious beliefs. Also, he mentions that science and religion are completely incompatible because, like Filippenko said, seek of knowledge by religion is based on faith and non-testing, while in science, it's based on reason, evidence and testing.

Alex Filipenko is one of the most brilliant and humble human beings ive ever heard. Seen alot of his lectures and not once have i seen him stray from his calm way and common sense of logic.

@Yocky14 Well good luck I guess, thank you for your honesty and elaboration.

@namnack FYI I'm 17 and still forming my belief system. Right now there are few things I sure of. In terms of creation I believe God did create us, I'm just not sure how. Maybe the literal translation from the Bible, maybe he put evolution in motion. I don't how and I suppose I will never how. But what I am sure is that God loves you and me, and that he sent his to die the cross for.

@namnack To your 2nd question I believe love is such a complex word. I see meaning those three things you me. It also means to care about as well. I really don't know how to describe it. To me it's something beyond words and the best one I can find is love.
