    Does science prove the existence of god?

    This statement is wishful thinking. The formation of religion due to reasons proven other than an "actual god" have been observed in recent history. Cargo cult - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I'm actually a little amazed that you would make thi statement. I thought the...

    Part 2, an attack on creationism

    You're assuming there is a "why" to find. That's because the process takes millions of years to happen naturally. We can watch individual events in the lab, such as, we can witness the organic molecules formed from inorganic molecules start to get together and form a series of "cell-like"...

    Why do people believe in Creationism despite its lack of testable predictions?

    I'm glad you love science, but you don't seem to know much about it. Observation comes before prediction. You observe something happening, such as a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, and then you make a prediction as to why or how it happens that way. Observations hold merit in their...

    Does science prove the existence of god?

    That's not what I'm trying to say. I agree with you that if one idea about the supernatural is shown to be false, that doesn't mean you can conclude that everything about the supernatural is also false. What I mean to say is that that is the entire problem right there: Because we have no...

    Does science prove the existence of god?

    I'm in no way suggesting that science is intentionally trying to smoke out supernatural ideas--it doesn't have to. Like I said in the post I made on pg. 34, "prove" and "disprove" are relative terms here. Science cannot "prove" or "disprove" anything with 100% certainty, but that doesn't...

    Atheists Only: Would this be proof?

    Katzpur, To answer your initial post; If the experiment with the sick patients ended up as you said, I would definately be intrigued. I wouldn't drop everything and believe in god on the spot, but I would certainly want to pursue further testing. I wonder...if god was real and sick...

    Does science prove the existence of god?

    The evidence is in God's absence, like I said before. Let me try to explain in a different way: Imagine you were a crime scene investigator (a type of scientist) analyzing a body involved in a homicide. You were able to identify the killer through DNA found on the body, and from there...

    Why do people believe in Creationism despite its lack of testable predictions?

    I'll have to ask you to explain. The fact that H(2)O puts out fire is testable on the molecular level and beyond, so I guess I don't see your finer point here.

    If religion did not exist, would the world be a less violent and safer place?

    I think most people would agree that its not necessarily religion that's the problem, its dogmatism. (Granted, some religions are founded in dogmatism so they would have to go...) For instance, Stalin and Mao were atheists, but their people worshipped and obeyed them as if they were gods...

    Why do people believe in Creationism despite its lack of testable predictions?

    Why don't you think its conclusive?

    Why do people believe in Creationism despite its lack of testable predictions?

    Yes. Re: How do the chemicals in a fire extinguisher put out a fire?

    Does science prove the existence of god?

    I'm not sure I agree with this. If transubstantiation (a Catholic belief, for instance) was proven wrong, then that would be an example of a belief that pertains to God being proven wrong. It may not be your personal belief about God (disproving the transubstantiation would have no affect on...

    Why do people believe in Creationism despite its lack of testable predictions?

    We've been doing it since the 50's. The Miller/Urey Experiment

    Does science prove the existence of god?

    I'm a bit confused as to what you mean by this, so please correct me if I'm wrong. I think what you're saying is that you can prove specific claims about god to be wrong, (such as, cancer patients who unknowingly receive prayers have a higher survival rate that those who do not) but the fact...
