    • funny, but undeniably factualmonospaced
    • Being an atheist, mono, how would you even know what progress in terms of a faith based religion would be?locustsloth
    • That's the thing, locust, not even a religious person could say that. Religion isn't even trying.monospaced
    • My point is that science strives for progress, while religion dwells on ancient myths.monospaced
    • I guess religious progress would be proving that praying works. Or that miracles happen.monospaced
    • Of course, they wouldn't dare attempt that, because they know the result would only discredit them.monospaced
    • locust... I should ask you the same question... what would religious progress (toward answers) look like?monospaced
    • btw, prayer has recently been shown to have no positive effects on the well-being of cardiac patients http://deploy.extras… thanks, science :)scarabin
    • looks like religion just took a step backwardscarabin
    • is science your god?. faith is a belief without proof. so what do you believe without proof.?yurimon
    • you still don't get it... science is the PURSUIT of truth, not a set-in-stone dogmamonospaced
    • because you still can't even understand even the definition of science, your answer is no. no progress has been made in this thread.scarabin
    • thread.scarabin
    • come back when you are better equipped for this discussionscarabin
    • yes but science can be used dogmatically and one can be arrogant in its handlingyurimon
    • Do you understand the definition of faith?yurimon
    • irrelevantmonospaced
    • Faith: strong belief in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.monospaced
