Since you capitalised "God," I'm assuming you mean the character by that name in the Torah and the vast quantities of fan fiction based on it (eg, the Bible, the Quran, the Divine Comedy, etc).In which case, yeah kinda seems a bit far-fetched to assume that a bunch of prescientific tribes would have a greater insight into the nature of the universe than we do today, especially when (a) their explanation has exactly no predictive power, (b) their explanation embodies all of the false assumptions our brains are predisposed to make, and (c) all the people who believe their explanation declare that you're not allowed to question it and claim they're virtuous for believing in spite of the evidence. |

You said: Can you cite some examples of that? So I did. If you want an example of religion being used to justify racism, I offered one in the thread about Mississippi's discrimination law here, but that's irrelevant with regard to that law, as it allows business owners to ban anybody by claiming "religious reasons" but does not require them to offer a theological justification for their decision. And this is a different thread. |

You spewed a bunch of gibberish on the subject, but then I posted your name and watched as the filter magically transformed it into your handle, thus proving beyond dispute that the filter exists.You did not offer a satisfactory explanation for why Larry might potentially choose to implement a filter exclusively for your benefit, leaving the explanation that you requested it as the most likely option. But that's only if you're specifically asking for the scientific answer. If you want the religious answer, then your name magically changes into your handle when posted on SubChat and viewed in threaded mode because Blaga the Almost Omnipotent personally edits the content of the packets as they are transmitted from SubChat's server to your browser. Blaga also personally removes any use of the word "cheese" from any page you request, but only if you are truly faithful to hem. |

No, not at all.Lolwut? There's a scientific answer for almost everything. Not all those answers are yet available to us. Yeah, that's pretty much how science works. The answer is out there someplace, we just need to find it. And those answers do not necessarily conflict with the answers based on any one religion. Well, unless that religion claims the universe was created by a person named God. Or that people are reincarnated until they reach a state of nirvana. Or that we're haunted by the souls of dead aliens. Basically, if it's a religion that is actually practiced by people, it's been debunked by science to an extent proportional to how well its beliefs are defined and inversely proportional to how well its adherents are at moving the goalposts every time someone provides the evidence to disprove their previously stated beliefs. |

Ah, well, there is, in theory, a scientific answer to everything. That we will never know all of them doesn't change the fact that we theoretically could (if we weren't limited by time, resources, and the irreversibility of certain physical and chemical processes).The problem with religion isn't that it deals in absolutes, it's that it commits to things that are simply wrong and then refuses to admit it, like ChicagoMotorman swearing up and down that he's not a racist. |

It's not clear how science could ever debunk "An almighty God set up the universe at the big bang and ever since then everything has played out according to his plan."It's not even clear how you can debunk the much more fundamentalist "Every now and then God vents his wrath on sinful humans in ways that appear to be consistent with natural process," that is, the "abortions cause hurricanes" view of the world. |

Catholicism no longer discourages questioning in matters of science.

Even if you believed he was some crazy person, that doesn't automatically make any arguments he makes invalid. Olog-hai sometimes posts useful stuff even though he is obviously crazy. You just enjoy condemning Nilet, bingbong, streetcarman and JayZeeBMT and yet you've actively resisted condemning Olog-hai. Your opinion on any of those people is therefore suspect. |

Just because almost all of the world can be defined by science doesn't necessarily mean that a supreme being type thing couldn't behind all the science. That doesn't in any way conflict with the science.Well, because science also says you can't just make sh!t up. If you say it's true, you need to provide evidence that it's true. I would have thought that goes without saying; the idea that the answers are out there and we need to find them kind of precludes the idea that we can just make the answers up. Perhaps I failed to account for your inability to spot nuance and context. The only religion I'm more than casually familiar with is Judaism so can you please show how that religion has been debunked by science? Like most religions, there are many different varieties of Judaism; two Jews might give two completely different answers as to what they believe. However, given that Judaism kind of invented the idea, I'm assuming that (a) you believe in the existence of a being named God, who (b) created the universe and intervenes in its operation and (c) is more or less human but tends to throw violent tantrums like a spoiled toddler. That conflicts with science's "you can't just make sh!t up" clause. You believe in a "supreme being?" Offer up evidence of said supreme being. I recommend you start by defining it— I won't discuss the matter unless the goalposts are firmly fixed in place. |

Catholicism no longer discourages questioning in matters of science. Galilieo would be safe now, or maybe even get to shake the Pope's hand. :)He's still dead. And yes, the Catholic Church finally admitted he was right— in the 1990s when their geocentrism became such an embarrassment they were at risk of losing adherents. So they have finally caught up to the science of the 17th century. However, they're still creationists, so they haven't reached the 19th yet. It would forbid questioning of "Jesus Christ is the son of God" but that's not a matter of science. How is it not? (a) God exists and has attributes A, B, and C. (b) Jesus existed and has attributes X, Y, and Z. (c) God is Jesus's father. ...and since we know they believe it anyway: (d) Jesus died but came back to life. These are all questions of fact. They are statements that assert something is. Therefore, they are questions for science. And science is quite clear on the matter. |
