malvisguy212:Of course it would be dumb not to believe in me. And that's because you can see me hear me, describe me and interact with me. And If I die, there are records of me which will prove I existed. Unlike God. Remember atheism also means the REJECTION of belief. Rejecting something doesn't mean it does not exist Lol, atheism does not reject. It's not as if there was anything to accept in the first place. Atheism is simply the lack of belief in gods. It's telling you that God doesn't exist because of your inability to provide verifiable proof. If I should apply your flawed logic, then I can say "because you choose not to believe that Godzilla exists, doesn't mean it doesn't exist". See? It makes no sense. |

Grandmeister: You're not bright at all. What has one's belief or non-belief got to do with his profession? When scientists make new discoveries, do they give credit to Christianity or the body of science? When scientists try to make breakthroughs, do they call unto God and the answer falls from heaven without them implementing what they have been taught and have learnt for years? Obviously you're not bright. So when a scientist who's an atheist achieves something, they applaud atheism? you guys without an invention to your name Such Illogical and childish statement. 2 Likes |

Who took the photos of those fishes in the water since that was 380 million years ago? Abi that’s just an imagination? These people are sick. Or does the fish still exist? |

fortran12: There's nothing bad in realizing one's original ideas were wrong, and that you have a better idea..., built on past knowledge and new information. Even if this better idea will be proven wrong in the future, science is open to refining understanding. A few examples of refinement involving light: It was once proposed around 500BCE that that light was emitted from the eyes, which is what allowed people to see. Of course, this was disproven and a new theory suggested light came from a source (e.g. sun, candle) It was then theorized that light needed a medium in order to propagate, the way sound needs air, water, or some other substance. This was also disproven when electromagnetic theory proved that light could travel in a vacuum It was thought light is instantaneous; then theorized and shown that it takes a finite amount of time to travel (fast, but not instant). I'm fully open to more refinements, but you see our understanding is broader, truer, and more useful with every iteration. I also think I misunderstand what you mean by faith. What you describe the scientists doing is intuition: as in, "I think this is what's happening, I am going to persist in trying to understand and explain it, even if other's don't believe it". It's quite possible (as we've seen) that experimentations and further insights will actually disprove the theory. Science is not fundamentally about "being right", it's about understanding. This is quite different from the common uses of faith (i.e. acceptance without understanding, without rationale, without proof, and often with threats of violence) To wit, definitions of faith: 1. complete trust or confidence in someone or something. 2. strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof. Here's another scenario where I would use the word intuition, and not faith: Back in 1846, Hungarian physician Ignaz Semmelweis had a theory/intuition that hand washing was effective in preventing disease in a hospital environment. Fellow doctors thought it was a silly theory, and were even offended at the suggestion that their hands were infectious. He persisted in his experiments, demonstrated, and showed how people could repeat his findings. |

simplesearch: Oddly enough, if you substitute "day" for 1 or 2 billion years, you have a pretty good record of the scientific basis of the creation of the universe: Day 1: Light - the Big Bang Day 2: Atmosphere / Firmament - Gaseous clouds forming stars Day 3: Dry ground & plants - Gas clouds solidifying into rocky planets. (not sure about the plants though ) Day 4: Sun, moon & stars - I believe our scribes got their numbering backwards (kinda hard to grow the plants in Day3 without sunlight) Day 5: Birds & sea animals - Cambrian explosion - this is when life took off, according to the fossil records Day 6: Land animals & humans - creatures evolved, some took to land, and few evolved to homo sapiens Day 7: The Sabbath of rest - don't know when this is... the Universe is theorized to be getting colder and dying as it expands, so... |

linearity: Just because you are a creationist I will answer you. BTW, I also beleive the world could be billions or millions of years I don't really care about that. My issue is with what people easily believe and are taught. You should watch the documentary called "Expelled" and hear scientists actually talk and go against each other. People have been led to believe the scientific community agree on all these subjects, but its all a lie. There is a lot of false propaganda to promote a certain idea. BTW, there are papers to show that radiometric dating is not accurate. As there is no accurate dating method. The conclusion is usually a guesstimate. I first saw this in a documentary I watched recently. But here are sample papers. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/the-paleontological-society-papers/article/introduction-to-radiometric-dating/EB988365BB6CBBBC81EFD888E4FAFC42 https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/01/170131104433.htm |

Grandmeister: 1. In spite of Job26:7 the Church (and Pope, bishops, etc) sentenced people to indefinite imprisonment or death if they suggested Earth was round. 2. Being religious was a given... everybody was so in the past (else the Church or Mosque would have your head). Scientific understanding has made people increasingly question dogmatic religion. 3. You're right... nature is absolutely fantastic, and harkens to intelligent design. 4. The next question is: "who designed the designer?" I mean such a brilliant designer must have been designed, going by the logic in 3. Number 4 is still a very tough (even contentious) question, and religion's answer of: "the designer was always there, and was not designed..." is really quite unsatisfying. |

Semaj77: That is my issue and why I don't want to provide any links to papers or documentaries. People never do research themselves, They just sit down in one place and assume things to fit in what they want to beleive. |

Re: Giant Fish That Lived Around 380 Million Years Ago Found In Sahara Desert (Pix) by nextstep(m): 3:32am On May 22, 2020 |
Denko2721987: Weather patterns shifted over time. I mean, just a few weeks of trade winds shifting, and we either have heavy rains (May-August), or scorching dry sunny days (November-February). Similarly, 3 fewer hours of sunshine at a shallower angle produces Winter; 3 more hours at a more incident angle produce Summer. |

sulasa07: Truth is, science will never stop until they know the truth about the Earth, world, universe, planet, u name it. Soon they will discover where God is. Just imagine where science will reach in 3,000 years from now. Trust me,it's a world without end. Nothing is ending, no Armageddon..no nothing. Wars may come, but the Earth will recover. Would u have believed in the 60's that phones and emails, WhatsApp, everyone connecting.. will get this sophisticated .planes and jets..u name it. Everything is advancing..with the likes of Elon Musk and co.. science will disgrace religion |
