whats wrong with this comment:

1.not believing in god does not mean u are ignorant or close minded.

2.Christianity is not the only"TRUE" religion in the world,Islam is a religion,which is directly related to god infact Islam holy book aka Quran is direct words of GOD himeself, not the words of an observer,

3.U dont understand the meaning of spirituality properlyEG: energy is not spiritual stuff

4.u just CANT combine science and afterlife.

FYI im not Muslim im Hindu and agnostic not atheist

It's all real fantastic stating this all but there is not one ounce of evidence to prove it - making your statements plausable, not comfirmed. And can be deemed invalid if evidence says otherwise.

Just some advice not only to you but to the person who wrote the comment and the other people who replied.

You're some guy on the internet who has troll replies to other people, and Henry is an astounding physicist.

Light is not instant. Jeez you don't know how to look up information do you? One track minded fool that's what you are. Just look up trillion fps camera shoots advancing light. It'll be all over google. Get out of the past, and get with the present that's why you can't understand half the material cause your not giving other material a go around to let your mind process information in a logical standard. Honestly your thinking to much about obstacles and not focusing on yourself individually.

I mean how did you learn english? Certainly not from god. We created a form a communication to have conversations with one another and we understand how each other feels. Some of us even understand how animals feel. You keep thinking it's some sort of selfish cult and shit when Christianity sounds the same to the science world. Just quit trying to manipulate a persons spirit into believing the shit.... Wheres your god when your just as corrupted by selfishly asserting your word to take control.

[travis spears]

it's obvious that were flawed. jeez your a gag. Scientists don't make up shit cause they want to or because they believe in themselves as being the smartest of the world. They develop a hypothesis and test it in controlled variables or even uncontrolled settings to see if the result will balance. Then when it comes clear that evidence supports reasoning through multiple tests, with multiple people then that's when it's usually released to the public in book form.

And U can't use the word ''you''

[31mnm7]

how can you be hindu without firmly believing in god?

[Gary Ward]

There's no hate. Just interested that your spirituality causes loads of anger that you expressed on here. Also interested in people who are so convinced that scientists 'know' all the information they spout. They don't. It's conjecture. I wont quit telling people they are wrong because one day when it becomes obvious man's wisdom is flawed, it will be too late to acknowledge the Lord who Created the Universe. So it's a good thing Im doing :)

[Gary Ward]

Why do you assume I dont?

[JohnnyBukkel]

Because you know more than a physicist...
