analice107:And what about christian leaders, particularly the catholic church? Haven't they murdered also, all in the name of protection of the faith?. |

Seun:Science originated in europe at a time when it was predominantly christian. Somehow scientific findings and ideas were not incompatible with the christian culture of that time. Breathtaking scientific disciplines and fields that we build on today were founded by people who were deeply religious. I proved that (HERE) Though some were also founded by people from other faiths but im at loss on how many were founded by atheists. Sir Francis Bacon, is credited with formulating and establishing the scientific method, Great scientific communities and universities such as Harvard, Princeton, Oxford, Cambridge, and many others were also founded by Christians. So for contemporary atheists to propose that christianity impedes science is unfounded. What was it about christianity that propelled these ones to pursue science?. "I had rather believe all the fables in the Legend, and the Talmud, and the Alcoran, than that this universal frame is without a mind." - Sir Francis Bacon |

joseph1832: Oladim001:No one is threatening you with anything. You people claim that the bible is hogwash, You don't believe in the Bible so why bother with a "lie"? .. The fact that you feel this threatened proves that you do believe in God. 2 Likes |

Winner01: Okay, but its probably not so relevant to our discussion of whether belief should require evidence. 2 Likes 1 Share |

vizkiz:Like an emotional or psychological experience? A lot of people say their faith is based on their personal experience with God and that's what they mean. Those experiences aren't reliable. The human mind is susceptible to various illusions and delusions. Hypnotism and hysteria are real things. That's why even those 'personal' experiences should be critically analyzed in the light of the latest findings in psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience. If they don't stand up to scrutiny, just toss them aside. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Seun: I totally understand your points I was a student of philosophy. These illustrations you made are valid and weigh standard points as long as philosophy is concerned...but when you get the "manifestation" I was referring to, you wouldn't be able to explain and analyze them with mortal intelligence. 1 Like 1 Share |

Seun: And what happens when they stand up to scrutiny? Would you then believe that God exists? |

pls make una leave oga seun alone, he chose not to believe in existence of a supernatural personality. As much as you might not be comfortable with that, he's entitle to that. |

Seun:. I highlighted the above because of the hypocrisy I've observed on Nairaland created by you. Unfortunately your assertion doesn't apply here. Criticisms of certain faith beliefs have in the past resulted in abuse of power from you and your mods. Prove us wrong by criticising Christianity but pls don't spare Islam. It's easy to voice concerns about Christianity but when same happens to Islam, you guys come down with your hammer to stifle opinions or deleting them. That need to be corrected. 3 Likes |

slam7000:Am sure Seun is not gonna bother replying your post, cos its apparent you and analice are derailing this thread. And you are violating two rules of nairaland. Rule 1 and 20. So you have yourself to blame if you are banned. |
