I know it's old news, but goddamn, this video still gives me the shivers.

This video absolutely blows my mind. Engineering at it's finest. I can't believe that worked. Bravo!!!!

Actually sir, you are mistaken. For one thing, the Church has set up about 80% of American hospitals. Also, the Vatican actually funds an observatory in Rome, with a priest as the head astronomer. Just Google it (YouTube won't let me type in the URL).

The 4th dimension is also invisible (in a sense) but science believes that.

Science and Religion can never coexist. Science and Religion will be fighting an eternal war forever until one of the other is completely eradicated from humanity. I'll pick science any day before I choose to believe in any fairy tales or mythologies designed to make you fear an invisible man in the skies that has yet to make his "return".

I want to go on mars if any space agency give me a wonderful opprtunity

If Apollo 13 happens on the way to mars then they'll be toast becuase of how long the signal takes to get to earth

Insane Christians: WE CAN'T HAVE THIS!! IT WILL DISPROVE GOD!!!

Me: Yes we can have this! God made Mars and other planets, not just us! And if He didn't want us to explore and look for other life, He would not have given us our awesome brains!

Ladies and gentlemen, science and Christianity CAN and DO coexist, if everybody would just OPEN THEIR MINDS!
