time4fun4u: You appear to have a very low opinion of people who do not see things the way do,labelling them as stupid,misinformed or brainwashed.
Maybe taking a step back may help and viewing things more laterally.
Insulting a religion or belief,as you have done on more than one occasion,is not a basis for debate.It will achieve,and prove nothing.


As I said I will always be against any religion, as it has nothing to do with faith . . . in what ever deity people believe in - - - and YES I will say that people blindly believing in what religion is teaching them - - are stupid and brain washed ( I am talking in blind belief, and not an open mind of a person that has faith ) - - - It is clear that religion and faith has nothing to do with one another - - Plenty people believe in god, have faith, but they do not believe in teachings of their religious groups they seem to label them selves with - - - If you got the impression I do not respect people with different belief then mine, then you are mistaken.

Besides . . . why those people get offended every time as if they are attacked if one challenges their way of thinking, some start screaming "attack, insult" and when they insult people that think similar or the same as me, we are considered as immoral, and less of a human beings - - - ? That is insulting to is it not - - and to go further - - scientific research, of sociology, and psychology - - that spanned Europe and States, proved that violence is much more common in countries that are more religious then in countries that have far less religious people - - and I EMHPESIZE RELIGOUS not people with faith - - Even with this research, and numbers it produced one can see the difference between religious societies, that are more inhumane, more intolerant, towards everything different then what they preach to be right and what is wrong - - -

54xmax: I never will imply this, if I gave this kind of impression, it is not the correct one . . . what I am saying here that CREATONISM is denying any form of reason, or intelligent thought, or science in explaining the world and universe we live in - - - and that they blindly believe, support and promote their Theories about the world and universe according to the bible and old and new testament


That is absolutely untrue. But here I am not talking about Scientific Creationism, though they have qualified scientist writing in their magazines. I have a science background myself, though I am in IT nowadays.

Science must also postulate certain things even if they cannot prove it. For example, the Big Bang could have only occurred if most of the matter of the universe is invisible and undetectable. Here you go, so they propose the idea of dark matter. Where is it? Who knows! Scientists simply accept its existence by blind faith simply because without it their model doesn't work.

Or how did the Big Bang occur? In the beginning there was a big nothingness. All matter was compressed in an infinitely small point (suprise, suprise, you need lots of faith here already) because of the immense gravity keeps matter in a collapsed state.

But then somehow it exploded. Wow! This is one of the biggest problem with the model. Because if it exploded (what actually had such a power to overcome this immense gravity? - lots of faith required again, you see?) all the tiny quarks and whatever it broke into would fly away from the centre in a straight line, because all the forces are isotropic, you cannot have any turbulence. But to form galaxies you need turbulence, so we need to speculate how to get turbulence.

I have to admit I have not followed science for at least 15 years, so I don't know where they are today, but you can see from the illustration I gave you how much problem the have if they want to come up with a model and still look smart.

Believers in creation say, we do not know how it happened, we are not told. The universe is the reflection of the infinite God, and is discoverable, and we should discover it.

I don't think you can accuse religion about the idea of the flat earth, it was the Roman Catholic church that invented it along with heaps of other things, the real biblical faith is way way simpler that what they invented.

54xmax: For your information I know about that list, and most scientist that were put on that list, were offended, and they dsiclamed their beleif in god, and wanted to be put off that list - - -

It should be noted that 50 Nobel Laureates is written primarily for inspirational purposes and is not intended to be a source of detailed or balanced biographical data . . .

Basicaly a guy who made up a list, with out substantial data . . . Is this your argument?


I have no idea about it, I simply did a quick google search, but I used to subscribe to scientific magazines that had articles from Christian scientists. they were not religiously charged articles, but proper science articles.

54xmax: Of course - - I am not talking about civilization I am talking about Creatonist beleif, that the WORLD was created in 6 days, and that it was created about 8000 - 10000 years ago. that it was created out of nothing - - - - That is their beleif - - - civilizations also haven't been just created, they evolved, they advanced as human beings advanced them selves. From stone age, bronze age in to iron age . . .ectr . . .


It could not have been created in 6 literal days because it says, God caused waters to flow into one place called seas and caused trees to grow out of the dry ground. Simply these things cannot happen in a day.

the bible is not a science book - - - THAT is what I'm talking about - - - As for me know it all - - - I will never EVER say I KNOW IT ALL, you are repeating that - - - So your problem not mine if you think that - - -

Science works with models that are continually refined and sometimes completely dumped and replaced to accommodate new data. The universe is knowable and that is the beauty about it. - - - I agree with you

The idea of creation doesn't go against this. - - Yes it does, with every "theory" they produce about the creation, negating evolution, as they say that evolution is "just a theory," with the intent of emphasizing that scientific theories are never absolute, or of characterizing it as a matter of opinion rather than of fact or evidence. They also opposes many claims and theories in the fields of physics and chemistry (especially absolute dating methods), geology, astronomy, cosmology, paleontology, molecular biology, genomics, linguistics, anthropology, archaeology, climatology, dendrochronology and any other fields of science that have developed theories or made claims incompatible with their version of world history. They are fundamentally opposed to any explanation for the origins of anything which deviates from their literal reading of the Bible, whether it be the origins of biological diversity, the origins of life or the origins of the universe itself.

I do not speak for others, so whatever I write here is my own belief.

I do not argue with scientific models. I simply say, I do not know how creation was done. Science may discover the how, but will ignore the who. Why is it hard to believe that the whole process was setup and directed by the infinite Being rather than it just happened for no reason whatsoever. The infinitely small collapsed matter exploded - somehow a much greater force appeared than the immense gravity was, that collapsed all matter of the universe into a single point. What was that super force? I do not know. I am not interfering with science, I let them discover what they can. None of their theories can eliminate God.

I don't accept the six days creation fairy tale. The story is told though in a six-day time frame.

As far as it goes about your own beliefs - - -they are yours, and there one of the things that make you - - - shall we say open-minded as I see it, is that you do not dispute science, you have your faith, belief and that's that - - - The point is that Creationist’s do dispute science and all reason - - - that's what I am saying wine

I of course also do not know how universe was made, how it came to be - - as for everything else in universe ( Planets, life ectr . . scientists already have pretty good idea about it ) - - -

And if one does have them he doesn't need religion to teach him how to be a decent person - - either you are or you aren't . . .given the fact that "we have 10 commandments" and what was done under the blessing of religion - - - it kind of - - - goes against it self doesn't it grin

Romans 2:
14 For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, 15 in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them

If I understand this verse correctly, this actually says the divine laws are hard coded in people's conscience - as long as their conscience works...

jac379: I don't know that imagination is a fact.

Its more that we believe the phenomenon is at least similar in each of us.

It cannot be proved, or disproved, at least at the present time, but I agree that, given my concept of imagination, an imaginary friend has some level of reality for the individual.

Its more the consequent behaviours that should be in question, not the basic cognition.

There's no reason, as I see it, that science and concepts of evolution can't co-exist with the concept of imaginary friends.

I think the problem comes when people don't allow themselves, or their imaginary friends to evolve and grow up when presented with new information.

It smacks of fear of losing belief in their imaginary friend.

It may lead to destructive behaviours.


My answer was tounge-in-cheek but imagination is a fact along with dreams and wishes etc. They are fact in as much as they do exist in the mind of the person involved. If Imagination did not exist then many of the great scientific discoverys might never have happend. Science is driven by the dream to discover and create.

In my opinion science and religion need each other to survive. They both have their followers and both seek the ultimate answer. Lets face it without science the bible and other religious teachings would not have been able to be printed and churches/religious buildings would not have been built.

I am not a religous person, or to put that better I do not believe in the church as anything more than a business. That does not mean I do not have religous beliefs or discount others beliefs as nothing can be proven or dismissed as being wrong.

Yeah one could say that - - - the problem is, that following one's conscience is more often then not in certain situations hard to do - - - especially if you see that majority people are hiding behind religion, misinterpreting it, or bending what ever holy books are teaching to their own agenda . . .and if you do not go with majority, if you follow your conscience your life becomes hard . . I hope you understand what I was trying to say here - - - it makes perfect sense in my head grin But there are people that don't follow the rest of the sheep, they follow their own conscience and THAT is to be respected . . .

54xmax: What is your opinion on the “CREATONISM” - - - this question is mostly for religious people, who say they believe in god, and that the bible is the word of god - - - and as this “CREATONISM” - - - - is a result of what is written in the bible about the history of man, and the world - - - - (.....)
I'm not to support any religion or debate how old the earth is, but one thing I'm sure about is that there's a mastermind behind creation, the best scientific prove to this is the DNA, few years ago scientists announced they deciphered the genetic CODE, now if we check the meaning "Code" we have
In response to: 1. A systematically arranged and comprehensive collection of laws.
2. A systematic collection of regulations and rules of procedure or conduct: a traffic code.
3.
a. A system of signals used to represent letters or numbers in transmitting messages.
b. A system of symbols, letters, or words given certain arbitrary meanings, used for transmitting messages requiring secrecy or brevity.
4. A system of symbols and rules used to represent instructions to a computer; a computer program.
5. Genetics The genetic code.
6. Slang A patient whose heart has stopped beating, as in cardiac arrest.
v. cod·ed, cod·ing, codes
v.tr.
1. To systematize and arrange (laws and regulations) into a code.
2. To convert (a message, for example) into code.
v.intr.
1. Genetics To specify the genetic code for an amino acid or a polypeptide.
2. Computer Science To write or revise a computer program.
3. Slang To go into cardiac arrest.


It's generally agreed that a code follows certain order to represent instructions given to perform an action or activity, means that a code can't be random or accidental, if it occurred randomly then it would be impossible to decipher for there would be no laws or order supporting it, in other words for a code to exist there must be an intelligence who created it, maybe god, gods, ET or whatever you wanna name it but for sure it didn't happen by accident.
