There are many different branches of Science dealing with different things that involves life on Earth and outside of the Planet Earth. None of the science are defining life but some are enriching life. No more time......

Oh! Bugger! Well you never know who'll read this thread and learn from it  :)

EDIT. I sent him a PM pointing to my reply.
If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.

Color me not surprised, as that's usually how trolls operate.

Quote from: "pj084527"The Atheist Richard Dawkins himself admits that scientific findings are continually in danger of being falsified and overturned by newer discoveries, just as certain aspects of Newtonian physics were proven incorrect by Einstein's discoveries.

Newtonian physics were repeatedly tested and proven useful for three CENTURIES. Then Einstein came along and introduced his theory, and suddenly certain portions of Newton's theories were proven wrong. There's very little scientific "truth" which cannot be overturned by newer research. Yet you base your eternal destiny and morals on "science"? Now who sounds silly?

I am replying just to argue, I see that the OP is probably having a hard time grasping the meaning of the term science so no thoughts on their part of checking back with us.
I cannot see how Newton law's were disproved by Einstein. My understanding is that Einstein introduced another variable to take account. That was a step forward imo. Anyways, I have the feeling that newton's laws apply to people outside religion so they not hold true for you..
You claim we base our morals on science.. So the only thing of keeping you away from theft, murder, child molestation, lying, road rage etc etc is god?
If that holds true then I would be really scared to get anywhere near you or your think-alike friends when a church or a bible is not within eye sight..

Quote from: "Albino_Raptor"Big words for someone believing in a religion that once stated the Earth is the center of the universe.

And was only recognized in 1992 (if your catholic).  :hmm:

pj picked up his PM so he has seen that there are serious discussions about his view taking place.

I know OP isn't gonna read this, I just felt like pointing out that he/she put an emphasis on how long Newtonian physics were considered correct before being proved wrong.  Because, you know, three centuries is such a long time for something to be considOH WAIT.
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Looks like he realised his ideas were going to get a beating.

Whats wrong with being willing to reasses your moral views?

 Oh sorry I guess I should listen to the Bible which has a worse track record than science today.

 Plus what other options do we have? We've gotta know how these things work, not go by what some Man in the sky says.
