Internet athiests always seem to lack any skills at signposting a conversation, or leading it carefully into an area of discussion that might cause ire.
Let me introduce you to science. Really? Do you have the qualifications to back up that sort of smug, condescending and off-putting rhetoric of yours?
Qualifications, I have a BSc, does that count?
But seriously the facts of science are all around us. Lets consider an aeroplane flying in the sky and a person walking on water.
If you say to me, aeroplanes can fly and assuming I have never seen one I may say “I don’t believe you”. To which you can take me
for a flight. Explain the science of flight. Teach me how to build a model that flies.
If you say to me man can walk on water I may ask the same but I bet you don’t have a handy god to demonstrate.
In other words science can be challenged, tested and demonstrated – or shown not to work.
But faith, religion has nothing more than `it is`.
More importantly science stands the test of questioning and doubt and very rarely is shown to be wrong.
That’s how mathematicians hundreds of years ago could predict the movement of planets that has since been proven.
But religion does not want to be questioned. `It is` because otherwise it would cease to exist.
Of course there is one question that has always intrigued me. If god made everything who made god?
Now that’s one dude I would lke to meet.
