THE END OF THE WORLD
Inv3rted:
But you see, my beliefs are based on the search for knowledge. Just because people believe something is not enough for me to believe it. I look at evidence, spending much of my life watching documentaries and reading books about such things. My conclusions are the same as the people who first hypothesized such major theories as the big bang and evolution. There is a lot more evidence for Science than you credit it, and that is either denial or ignorance. I am not trying to insult you right now, but look into the proof of the big bang and evolution, and you'll see what I mean. There is far less evidence of creation.

I've seen the proof and I'm not convinced no matter how much proof one shoves into my face. As soon as a real life video pops up showing exactly how the universe was created or shows the process of evolution happens, then I can confirm it as full truth. But the fact is that it's neither denial nor ignorance. I didn't say it didn't happen because there is no proof showing that it has. For all we know, a cosmic muffin could have shaken it's sprinkles out and formed the stars. It's just as valid as anything else people have come up with. I take no offense to what you say, I'm just saying that as close as we come to understanding our origins, we will never truly know and will always be in the search for how it happened. One time, it was god, now it's the big bang, next you know, everyone will be applauding the theory of that aforementioned cosmic muffin or alien race that pops by to admit that they had a good hand in it.

But by logical standards, scientific evidence is the most believable. If you are so cavalier about your religion, why be a Christian and believe in God? If you say it is possible that you are wrong, why believe in anything? Why not search for the truth, instead of believing. That's what science is about.

Because having an open mind means you're open to new ideas, not shutting out things other people believe. I have a firm belief in god and no one has proven to me he doesn't. No one can. I also believe in a lot science has actually proven, just not the Big bang despite it being the most likely scenario. To accept one has faults and in effect might be wrong is to be human. But to say one's belief is a fault is simply wrong. I never directly stated you were wrong for your belief. I said I didn't believe because I haven't seen the evidence I need to believe it.
