/ Excellent 😀

I dont think so. The Higgs Boson particle was not understood, the theory/ maths said it was there, so it was created and explained by science. We do not know everything, we never will, but we have come this far because we want to.

I agree with Moggy #66. I used to envy the comfort religion gave to the bereaved. Now though I find that acceptance of a finite life a much better`mechanism` for dealing with death. It brings up a question for me, Is the person who chooses to do good in their life, a `better person than the person who does it through fear of reprisal / want of reward, after death ?

Lincoln, I would really like to tell you I believe that the reduced numbers of young people in church is because of improvements in education, but lets be honest, it is because the shops and pubs are open all day on a Sunday now…. and maybe a little bit because of the reduced social pressure to be there.

Derekf Can you please give me an example of something that can not be explained by science, I mean something that really can not be explained, as oppose to something that is not yet understood. I even Googled it and still did not really find anything to use as an example.
Genuine question, not as it reads, if you know what I mean 🙂

I do not understand the aversion to post editing. Its like giving Da Vinci a time limit on The Last Supper. I am going to the Mach Loop next week and I will be shooting RAW. You dont get a second chance to change settings in that situation.

If you look at the history of the English Civil Wars, gun powder plot through to the creation of the United Kingdom it is actually riddled with Catholic/Protestant fighting.
As for Afghanistan, all the previous wars between them selves, the Soviet Union, Britain or anybody else interested in the country for its strategic location, aside. Surely the war that is being fought there now is the most blatant and recent conflict to be fought because of religion ?
Iraq now has a civil war between different `shades` of the same religion.

Religion with in a war seems to be the cause for the most heinous crimes. From the obvious in WWII to Muslims being locked in cellars and set on fire in the most recent Balkan conflicts, Mosques being bombed in Iraq, `Infidels` being beheaded in Afghanistan. If you add religion to a war you might as well wipe your **** with the rules of the Geneva convention.

I am really really trying to stay out of this 😀

The only reason I have ever seen for people thinking that the bad things that happen to us is a proof of no god, is that human beings are the only things arrogant enough to think they are more important than everything ever in the universe to this omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient (fictional) entity.
I prefer to not believe in god because there is absolutely no reason to and infinite reasons not to.

They know how to build a turbo car 😮

OMG !
