Does it bother you that the same scientific process that cures cancer pretty much rules out God?

Question

These guys are awfully smart and make all our lives better with advanced physics, chemistry, medicine, yet as soon as the age of the Earth comes up it is suddenly a bunch of malarky? The same physicists who is working on advancing MRI technology for Cancer detection will also tell you by the same methods used to make MRI machines more advanced that the Universe is 14.5 billion years old and is expanding from a single point in space. The biologists who make vaccines for the worst viruses to save the world from smallpox birdflu etc, say that organisms evolve and can prove it, but again it becomes a bunch of malarky. If your faith stops you from accepting this it seems like you should go the way of the Amish because it is all the same scientific method that you accept when it works for your preset biases.

Answer 1

I think it's funny that most 'true believers' will pay doctors (science) to fix them and then give thanks to 'God' or 'Allah' or 'Yahweh' or 'Jesus' or whomever.



At least the 'Christian Scientists' put their money where their mouth is. Of course, they also sacrifice their children on that altar so I guess it's a mixed blessing.

Answer 2

I understand where youre coming from because theres a lot of people that tell you they disagree with something without knowing what they disagree with. I think considering the evidence there is for evolution that evolution has to be at least partly true. I don't know enough about evolution to expand on that but I still do believe God created the world. How he did it will probably remain a mystery to me until i get to ask him. Nothing was created that God didn't create. Also science doesn't rule out God unless you want it to.

Answer 3

There are MANY scientists that have contributed to science as well as religion. Example, Isaac Newton wrote MORE about Christianity than science. I guess if I used your logic, I would be saying if you don't believe in GOD, then you should "go the way of the Amish" and not believe in calculus.



Your logical fallacy that just because a scientist has contributed great things to science and does not believe in GOD, therefore he is the "real deal" does not work by the example that I gave above.



GOD bless

Answer 4

That argument isn't logical. Whether a scientist believes in god/doesn't believe in god no way informs anyone on the existence of god. You can compile evidence against what is said in the Bible, perhaps making the Christian god less likely to be who s/he is personified to be; but disproving a prime-mover-type god isn't possible.

Answer 5

Rubbish. Cancer kills every few minutes.



Not everyone has preset biases like the atheists. Some of us have read extensively on Darwinian Evolution and have found that it is not a scientific fact, using the same words of the individuals that believe it!!



Anyone who insists macro evolution is a fact, is deluded, psychotic, or has some agenda, or all three.

Answer 6

But people who lived 2000 plus years ago, who were as dumb as a sack of hammers, somehow had the answers for everything past and future. Ever since they wrote the Holey Babble, people stopped getting messages from God.

Answer 7

Does it bother you that genetics was discovered by a monk, and that the scientific method came from a Catholic? Without the Church, you would have no science to speak of.

Answer 8

You probably shouldn't give your opinion in the 'ask a question' section.



It makes you sound like you're ranting. You could get reported for it.

Answer 9

No it doesn't bother me. Everything pretty much rules out god.

Answer 10

Ermm.... they haven't cured cancer yet FYI
