Fair enough.

Although you derailed mine in one post soooo…

Yeah, but that was with abbreviations, not debate.

If the Earth is “millions of years old”, why is it only 2012?

Checkmate, atheists.

Because Jesus happened.

Weird, huh?

I wonder if Religion (All of them) and Science will be able to co-exist peacefully.

There are many examples that they do. I have theories that can be explained that both would be satisfied.

Well, religions have a habit of seeking to destroy things that state they are false.
Science must inevitably state that there is no evidence of supernatural influence acting in the Natural world.
Not a good combination.

Oddly enough, though, it's unscientific to say there is no god. It's simply that we have no evidence. We can prove that god doesn't act within the plane of existence known to humans, but it is impossible to prove that god does not exist outside of the natural world.

Impossible.

Science and religion can co-exist. But Evolution only makes that impossible. This false theory is like a troll, it flamed a war between religion and science.

A quote from my Islamic school:

"Without religion science is blind, without science religion is crippled."

And RF, this what happens when you create a JJ humor thread. A religious debate is created.

Way to ruin a perfectly good idea for a thread by being argumentative humorless jackasses guys.

This should have been a good "Illogical arguments about religion thread" but nooooooo, you had to ruin it.

LOCK THIS

Hey, if God isn't real, then how has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

NO! I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I GET MY FREE TIN FOIL HAT, AND PROVE THAT WE CAME FROM ALIEN MONKEY GANG BANGERS!!!

I was gonna create an article for "Checkmate, atheists", but then I remembered that I'm a lazy fuck.

My mistake.

I should do more research on evolution.

Religion = Theories of what exists within the non-observable universe and exo-universe

Science = Facts about what exist within the observable universe only

These don't necessary need to conflict at all. But attitudes, understanding and the Us vs Them mentality trigger conflict anyway. As far as I can see, science and religion only conflict when people allow one or the other to govern all aspects of their life instead of just the aspects they individually cater towards

Many Christians (particularly protestants) have already figured this out and are able to have their religious cake and eat it on a science platter (You just don't hear about them on FOX news)

Here's how you do it: Abandon the implication that science is "Blue Team" and religion is "Red Team" and allow both to be of value towards you, so long as each respectively compliments different area's of your thinking. I.E: Religion compliments what you think about morality, philosophy and the supernatural while science compliments what you think about reality and the universe itself. Different area's = no conflict.

Example: Many Christians fully accept evolution. But understand that the theory in no way invalidates God and has nothing to do with Biblical teaching, so why argue about it? The fact that the Bible says we came from dirt doesn't have to be taken literally. In fact, it's completely irrelevant. Christianity is about following Christ and nothing more, not trying to determine how history went. The smart Christians know and understand that fully.

I say every religion is wrong.

Are you all happy now?

No, I'm not happy, don't bump the thread.

It's a concept. We put words to concepts.

Concepts don't necessarily exist.

It's not checkmate at all, OP. It's check at best.

Oh come on, that's on you and not "god". That would be free will. A sedentary lifestyle with an excess of food will do that to you.

Dac-attack is back, yet with a lack.

Of useful discussion that is…

I'm on it.

Has this thread broken down into a never ending maelstrom of shit storms and butthurt yet?

Actually, no one should be trying to prove God's existance. By his definition, his existance is defined by belief in him. But, once you prove his existance, you no longer believe in him, you know he exists, therefore his existance is null and void. Rook to E7. Rook takes Queen. Check. Your move, thread.

It's obvious we can come to a solution we all can agree on.

I can haz editorship?

[Spoiler] I really don't want it.[/Spoiler]

That really rustled my jimmies. I was just saying that argument isn't valid. You aren't born fat, and only a tiny percent of the population have a problem that makes it really hard to lose wieght. The rest is just because of an excess of calories and a lack of working out.

Holy shit…that explains the hair.

If threads aren't fun, then why do we have a forum for them?

Checkmate, KYM users.
