It was, I converted it though. :D

"Including any and all scientific books because science is always changing always evolving."
There are absolutely no credible scientists that will read something and blindly accept it. Scientific papers are subjected to peer review.
Everything else aside, this is exactly what I want to hear. People who engage in these debates seem to blindly follow their side of the mix, but I have stated on several occasions that science will be the ultimate tool to prove the existence of "god" whether he be a supernatural being or simply a far more advanced being to which at the time humans encountered, seemed godlike.

So by this simple statement, I wouldn't truly be accepted into most mainstream religions, but I do not discount the fact that "God" may have had a powerful influence on humanity and the formation of the planet and the universe humanity is inhabiting. I don't place full belief on the bible as historical act, but I don't discount that some of the events could have happened should humans develop means to recreate them and prove them to be true.

Science Fiction goes about trying to do this all the time and in some cases provides the framework, like the bible did back in the old days, to provide a hypothesis to forward the advancement of science as they understood it. That is basically what I'm saying and that is why I use scattered examples from the bible to support them because I believe that eventually, we can recreate everything that happened in there some day, some time. Who knows, maybe time travel is possible and we end up being our own God? in science it's all possible even if it seems realistic by today's standards.

I am using that skill to help out atheism.

Quite.

You shouldn't convert people forcefully, though. Let them come to you, if so they want.

Not saying you do, though. You just start religious wars. :3

Well yeah, but, science does its part by providing repeatable evidence.

This is still assuming he exists at all. Why can't science prove he doesn't exist?

For the same reason logic can't prove that the invisible pink unicorn or russel's teapot can't exist

Religion is loving stupid. It started wars, caused assassinations, caused random fights, all sorts of stupid stuff that could have been avoided if people learned to loving respect each other's differences.
Atheism has also done this. Grab any "ism" word or appropriate substitute and you'd find similarities.

Even now we're posting on a message board stirring up random fights about stupid stuff because most of us can't live and let live. As for wars and assassinations, consider the Huns to a certain degree.

Steven Hawking seems to think life does indeed exist elsewhere in different staged of development and that those capable of getting here would most likely enslave us as cheap labor as they may have once did before as far as some people are interpreting ancient Sumerian text. It's not impossible to think a race advanced enough to traverse great distances in a short time could easily mess around with genetic structure to create humanity as it exists now.

If they're that advanced, why the forget do they need slave labor?

Machines don't complain, machines don't (generally) rebel, machines don't get bored, machines don't need to sleep, machines don't forget complicated instructions or do it wrong...
And at that point power really should not be an issue.

Because machines....have no Soul....

Who knows for sure? May be far more cost effective and keep their machines from unnecessary wear?

Machines don't scream in pain when you whip them

Economics would best have been eliminated in such a society. It limits too much, and motivates to many in the wrong ways.
