Science isn’t a religion. It requires evidence before belief. Religious people will believe the most ridiculous Sh** in spite of the evidence.
Incoming!
I sometimes anger the Liars for God.
I would hardly call Myers a “science crusader”, and that’s certainly not how his university employer regards his obnoxious stunts. If he was a science crusader, he’d be too busy doing research in his labs, or communicating scientific information to students, to be spending all this time on sophomoric attempts to shock and offend people.
Define "irony."
I am constantly blown away by the arrogance of “scientific atheists”. Their entire theology rests on the assumption that the human mind is capable of comprehending everything in the universe, and, thus, that anything beyond their comprehension must not exist (or there must be some “comprehendable” explanation that they haven’t thought of). This assumption, however, has no empirical scientific basis ... and thus we have the fundamental paradox of “scientific atheism” — their “empirical” faith rests entirely on an assumption with no empirical support.
Second, the entire theology rests additionally on a self-imposed hypocritical sentiment that the statement “There is a God” requires hard proof ... but the statement “There is no God” does not require similar proof.
Science is not a religion — and science doesn’t even conflict with Christianity. To my mind, science is simply God’s way of slowly revealing His miracles in a way we can understand. Atheism, however, is a faith like any other — full of assumptions, non-empirical leaps of faith. Additionally, like many other religions, it apparently has its share of arrogant holier-than-thou followers.

The best examples are those who insist that the only things real are what are measurable and insist that all came existence from some some unmeasurable event AND insist they don't need faith.
>> Religious people will believe the most ridiculous Sh** in spite of the evidence.
Such a phenomenon is not restricted to the religious. Ever hear of man-made global warming — a “scientist supported” heaping pile of ridiculous s***?
Perhaps “science” doesn’t know as much as it thinks it does.

Yes, AGW is agenda driven anti-science like "Intelligent Design".
What changes more often, a science textbook or the Bible?
Geesh. It took 11 posts.
All truth is measurable. All else is wishful thinking.
I hold that truth to be self evident
So where does existence come from and what is the measure of the ingredients used to start it?
>> Yes, AGW is agenda driven anti-science like “Intelligent Design”.
The big secret is — the bulk of atheist “theology” is “agenda-driven anti-science”. It is driven by evangelical atheists, or people seeking to make a name for themselves by disproving Christianity. Its all political.
Any reputable scientist will tell you, science is very often wrong.

I’ve seen no empirical justification for that assumption.

I’ve determined that I can stand liberal atheists more than I can so called “conservative” atheists.
Everyone worships something,
liberal atheists deify the state,
“conservative” atheists deify themselves.
The arrogance is unbearable.
