Calling all Atheists

[BaSICCally]

Will science answer all the un-answered questions about life on earth? Will science succeed and crush religion?

So far its been doing a damn good job.

LOL@religion Vs. Science

 

[BaSICCally]

Sorry, it just seems like theists(not necessarilly you) tend to make science seem like the enemy.

To answer your question, yes.

It really depends on if the human race continues to advance, which I believe will.

 

[XianeX]

YES

 

[shep]

i just want to point out that not all atheists believe in what science says.

and i think that religion is doing a good job at crushing itself without the help of science. science is just giving it the little push over the edge that it needs

 

[Nightbreed]

i think science and spiritualality will blend somewhere in the far future. if we make it that long. and if it never does.... well i think it should. then maybe we could have the best of both worlds. both are very important i think.

 

[XianeX]

@ shep - VERY NICE
@ Nightbreed - I hope so as well. Spirituality and science are compatible in certain constraints.

Worst thread ever. If your faggot religion needs members that badly that you have to resort to bullshit missionary tactics like this hoe shit, then I wouldn't want to join your pathetic cult any god damn way.

Try passing out fucking pamphlets the sports events next time. At least I'll respect you for wasting your life away preaching while I stare at half naked cheerleaders and piss all over the bathroom floors having tons of fun.

when Islam started, ppl didn't know why they should clean
themselfs daily, and why not to eat pork ... science has back
those two reasons.

how is religion being crushed?

espceally Buddhism, how is science crushing Buddhism?
if anybody knows.

Yea...what are you so scared of you need to preach to us for? Why does it seem like christians are constantly trying to persuade and mold other people....while us atheists sit back and laugh...i still think religion is bullshit and the mind/brain is so much more powerful than we know...telekinesis,PK,predicting the future is all possible....go to my thread <AFTER DEATH> and throw sum change down....

 

[HERESY]

which "religion" or "faith" are you guys comparing to science...hold on LMAO@WILLY...

ok back to the question. which "religion" or "faith" are you guys comparing to science? please be specific. have you considered archaeology and if it "confirms" religion?

to answer the questions posed

no and no


:H:

 

[miggidy]

Good points from both sides of the coin. I agree with just about everything being said here.

Personally I think we're doomed before we ever find the real answer....

 

[BaSICCally]

The point I was trying to get at is, if science answers all the questions of life. Won't it basically turn into God? if humans can messure and manipulate the forces of nature, life and death.

See if science will answer EVERYTHING(which I have seen people on this board state) then once and if science answers EVERYTHING, then it turns into God. Basically you are saying science will turn into perfection.

If science finds a cure to all the worlds diseases, how many millions of people would loose their jobs? when science puts an end to violence and causes world peace, how many people will loose their jobs?

 

[XianeX]

that's just fucking ridiculous to say the least. HOW CAN SCIENCE BECOME GOD???

WOW!!!

Science is a practice that can be done religiously not a religion that is practiced devotionally.

HOW CAN SCIENCE BECOME PERFECTION???

sorry but that was just too weird

Humans already manipulate the forces of nature, life and death, so in a sense, humans are gods.

Why does perfection have to equal god? Cant it equal perfection?

What are you trying to say here? Science isnt going to all of a sudden eliminate disease and violence. IF it ever happens it would be a long process that takes many years. Slowly there will be less doctors needed. Who cares? Wouldnt you rather live in a disease free and peacefull land with NO doctors then a filthy disgusting war drivin planet with doctors?

 

[HERESY]

ACTUALLY WHAT HE SAYS MAKES SENSE. SCIENCE WOULD BE THE THRESHOLD/MEASURING STICK. EVERYTHING ELSE WOULD BE WEEDED OUT/NULL AND VOID OVER TIME.

I DONT BELIEVE HE IS IMPLYING SCIENCE WILL TURN INTO YHWH ALLAH OR VISHNU.

@2-0-666 YOU SAID

THIS IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF MACHINARY AND TECHNIQUES. HOWEVER *FEW* OF US CAN MANIPULATE MATTER, NATURE AND FORCES.


IM GONNA HIT A CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL ON PM ABOUT THIS.

Why does perfection have to equal god? Cant it equal perfection?

USUALLY ATHEIST *AND* THEIST HOLD GOD AS THE MEASURING STICK. THATS WHY. "IF GOD IS SO LOVING OR PERFECT WHY DOES HE ALLOW BLAH BLAH BLAH"...

What are you trying to say here?

I HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT HE IS SAYING. YOU DO ALSO BECAUSE YOU HINTED AT IT.

Science isnt going to all of a sudden eliminate disease and violence. IF it ever happens it would be a long process that takes many years. Slowly there will be less doctors needed. Who cares?

SEE YOU HINTED ON IT. THIS IS WHAT I *THINK* HE MEANS BY SCIENCE WILL BE GOD.

IT WOULD BE THE NEW STANDARD/THRESHOLD TO JUDGE AND MEASURE.


:h:

:h:

So basically we will replace the word science with god.

 

[HERESY]

NO NOT REALLY. THE IDEA IS THE SAME IN SOME PLACES BUT DIFFERENT IN OTHERS. PEOPLE WONT BE PRAYING TO SCIENCE.

:h:

If science does the things that Basically was saying, then there would not be any reasons to pray. Meaning, religion gone. Faith, gone. The only thing that remains is the word god, which under his logic, would replace the word science.
