Thread: Faith?

Hybrid View

  1. #1
    Faith and science are NOT mutually exclusive.

    Explain the symbiotic relationships between certain animals, and in some cases certain individuals of species having a symbiotic relationship.

    Explain to me how most systems degenerate into ever simpler states, but life has organized into ever more complex beings.

    I have faith too. Sometimes it's tested to the brink. But I manage to get through it. And yeah, I saw that post on Facebook.

    Definitely. It can be tested to the very brink. Faith is a powerful thing.

    Perhaps this is a really dumb question. How do you all manage to see the same comments/post on FB? Are you all 'friends'?

    People who proclaim science is all knowing are just as daft as the idiots who threaten you that you'll go to hell unless you get down on your knees and pray for mercy for your sorry, sinful backside.

    I think science has given the human race great advancements that have developed us, and will continue to develop us, as a species. I don't believe, however, the human mind has the capacity to harness all the secrets of the universe. We really aren't that clever.

    I don't believe in God, so I suppose I do support the laws of physics. But, as I was not there when the universe was created, nor could even begin to understand the calculations that demonstrate how the Big Bang could have occurred, I have no evidence to disprove anything else. People are welcome to believe what they want and the sooner more people on this earth come round to that idea, the more the human race would get along!

    OK, gonna go look for that post....

    ETA: Found it. If it's the one little line posted by someone whose name begins with C?

    I posted to her. You can look.

    It says basically that she has faith in her point of view.

    It's just one person. You know what they say about opinions...they're like a**holes. Each person has one and each one is different.

    Yours is equal to anyone else's!

    You should'nt let stuff like that get to you DJ.
    You have your beliefs, they have theirs, it's as simple as that.
    All that matters really, is that you know within yourself that you are right.

    Absolutely! I have very strong faith, but I may not have the same belief system that you do. It doesn't mean that one or the other is following the wrong path.

    "Truth is one; paths are many"

    Follow your own path to the "truth". I'll meet you there!

    DJFyrewolf36, I don't see anything wrong with people questioning their faith. It's only natural.

    I wonder what “scientifc "proof" that can't be backed up” you’re talking about. What is it scientists say, that isn’t true?

    How honest can something be when the purpose is to prove something else wrong?
    The fact that scientists prove something wrong tells us that they are working very hard to make absolutely sure, that what they present to the world are the facts and we all benefit from it.

    I, like Miss Z, believe that science has given the human race great advancements and will continue to do so - and I’d believe what a scientist say, rather than what a pastor says any time! However, I am all for people believing in whatever they want, as long as they don’t try to stuff it down everyone else’s throats.

    Hope your crisis is over!

    I'll never again judge an a-----e without thinking about their faith!
