Okay, lets put this to an open question. Who can rationally explain what science ahs to do with the existence or non existence of God...Anybody?

I can ratonally explain that in one word. Nothing.

pure comedy you are... you lie, then pretend others have lied.



Again... only an arrogant moron would hold the above position. Because based upon the vastness of the universe, statistically speaking it is highly UNLIKELY that we are the most powerful beings in the universe.

You lied. You clearly moved the goal post to another continent. It was not about absolute certainty and it was not even really about the existence of God. You do this every time you get in over your head and embarrass yourself.

There is nothing arrogant about it. Statistics don't really help your argument. See the Fermi paradox.

Kidnaping him and moving him to Ohio should get him hooked on Sheep in no time. There is only one regular poster here that I think is pretty much an idiot, and it isn't SF....I actually love SF for whatever God-known reason....

You appear to be nothing more than a dishonest Christian.

"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. These subtilised interpretations are highly manifold according to their nature and have almost nothing to do with the original text. For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are also no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them." - Einstein letter to Eric Gutkind in 1954 shortly before his death

Straw man. You will not show the quote from Einstein about Intelligent Design. That's because your goal is your agenda, not the truth.

No, I love Arrogant Muslims....and the Militant Buddhists in Asia are my personal hero's. Not to mention I love how militant the conservative Jews are in Palestine. Arrogance is only a fault when it comes to Christians, obviously.

I disagree. The problem though is this pretense that God could/should be defined only as an unknown or nothing. If God is akin to Russell's teapot, an unknowable entity, then obviously science can't help. But if it is a knowable entity, then science has plenty to say. The unknowable is just the place the roaches run to when you prove their flood and creation myths are absurd or that their first cause arguments are not logically valid. Of course from the safety of this unassailable nothingness they will eventually reemerge to attack those that deny their moral and scientific claims.

Kind of a logical fallacy in a way-your not invalidating god per se, just a falsifiable claim made by a theistic religion. but once a religion or supposed deity makes a falsifiable claim, the gloves are off and reality should reign supreme. Which is why we know that there was never a global flood, or a man named Noah with two of every animal on a giant wooden boat.

Do you think a Christian can be a good scientist?

Nope. There is scientific disagreement on that. Denying that is dishonest.
