science is a method, not a dogma.
we've observed a damn lot about the universe and nothing about god.
- How do you know you haven't observed god? even though its a method it cant prove consciousness technicallyyurimon
- Yet we are conscious to some extent or another.yurimon
- are you joking?scarabin
- there's plenty of research about consciousness and the brain going on right now http://www.scientifi…scarabin

atheism doesn't propose to have an answer to the creation question, it simply denies the existence of a god for which there is no evidence.
that said, there is plenty of evidence to show that we as humans evolved from much more primitive lifeforms and zero evidence to suggest otherwise. i'm not sure where your idea of "scientific faith" comes in here...

- Doesnt mean yout not acting on faith mono, Your in the same boat as religious people dawg.yurimon
- Atheism isn't a belief, dude. It's non-belief. Why do you keep trying to say we "believe" in something.monospaced
- I am NOT in the same boat as the religous. If god was "proven" i would believe, but I won't just follow blindlymonospaced
- How would you know? do you have a pretext or expectation of proof?yurimon

I'm not exactly a fan of religion but. let me get this straight.
Atheism. We are logical, scientific and think with reason. and dont believe in god because there is no proof and illogical to believe in god for that reason.
However the creation myths of science are theories. Not law that can't prove an existence of god or disprove, but theories...
So tell me how an atheist's ideas or concepts are not built around a scientific faith, myth or belief again? because what is purportedly believed can't be proven or dis proven?
To me it kinda puts atheism in the same boat as religious people for the same fact religious people and atheists can't prove or disprove the argument for or against.
- a scientific theory is much more different than a religious one, and you know it.monospaced
- a scientific theory is based on observation, facts and understanding, and it's testedmonospaced
- a faith belief isn't based on anything except superstition, and is never to be questioned, or else!monospaced
- faith is defined as belief without proof.yurimon
- scientists don't believe anything without proof. that's where you're hung up, dude.scarabin

Long-Awaited Medical Study Questions the Power of Prayer http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/3…Prayers offered by strangers had no effect on the recovery of people who were undergoing heart surgery, a large and long-awaited study has found.
And patients who knew they were being prayed for had a higher rate of post-operative complications like abnormal heart rhythms, perhaps because of the expectations the prayers created, the researchers suggested.

omggg. i read threads like this here there and everywhere. it's in the news it's on billboards, etc x infinity. and the amount of hot air from all sides is exhausting to even read.
all of this on and on about this and that and this and that. over and over for hundreds of years and on and on. it's like the young and the restless, you can tune in months later and it's the same f*ckin scene.
in the end folks, all of this, all the wasted time and effort is b*llshit. plain and simple.
go for a jog for christ sakes. smell a f*ckin flower sometime. get someone pregnant maybe. have fun.
the end. :-)
