Just tossing this idea a few friends and I more or less agree upon (agnostic, atheist, and christian) out here: If you follow the Christian Bible exactly (which is the religion we seem to be talking about here) No one should eat pork or masturbate or they're doomed to hell for all eternity. If you follow science exactly the only reason for a human to do anything (The meaning of life as you might say) is to continue the species, essentially meaning you should spend your days farming, having sex, and staying warm. I find this interesting.2 things.
As for the question asked in the initial post, I don't believe you should because you don't want to. You think of God as a wizard who just magicked everything into being, you have no faith nor wish to have any. So don't. I believe in the Bible in a highly metaphorical sense than can coexist with science (what's 7 days to an infinitely powerful being, and before the earth and sun were there to make days?) I believe in God in part because when you hit the base of things scientists just have things they must just accept are true. Prove everything you are experiencing isn't just one big dream. Pascal's wager or gamble as someone earlier mentioned is another good reason I believe. I hope this helps, and please take out the stricken out "wizard" before god, that's just baiting angry response.
but don't you have faith in science, or do you just use it for no reason at all and you don't even trust it? Many evolutionists have more faith in evolution than some christians do in God, which i find very sad. You have faith that tomorrow will be the same as today, in the way that our laws will stay the same.Religion and science cannot really co-exist. Anyone who truly believes in the scientific method, should not believe in religion. Period. Religion is based on faith and science is based on evidence, which are the opposite sides of the spectrum. Sure anyone can say they believe in both, but they actually don't. By believing in God, they forfeit the basic principle of science: evidence. People who say they believe in both, have basically created their own version of science that does not work like science is supposed to work.You don't have to forsake science to choose religion. You may have to rethink some aspects of science, and the same with some aspects of the religion.This. The majority of atheists/agnostics in this community seem to be under the impression that religion and science are mutually exclusive when they are not even close to being that.
And don't say that "science can't explain everything" or "some things can only be explained as God's doing". How do you know that? While it's entirely possible thatHow do you know science and God don't go together? or should i more say that logic and God don't go together. EVerything scientific and logical flow from God's nature. I don't see a huge reason why you should stop using the scientific method. The only reason you should stop using it is if you are using it wrongly.(not saying you're using it wrongly((in all aspects, since i don't know you personally)))a wizardGod did it, it's also entirely possible that our science isn't advanced enough yet. Emphasis on the "yet". Science actively tries to find out why, while religion doesn't even try. Why should I stop using the scientific method?
Have you done research to see that some of the so called links are not even complete, or were completely faked, mixing to diferent fossils to make it look like its own original.There is NO proof in the fossil record that has been found.Um, sir, where have you done your research. The fossil record is one of the main supporters of the theory of evolution.
