Science and religion/philosophy are about two different things. Science can neither prove nor disprove the existence of God. Christianity, for its part, is not dependent on science for its belief in God -- it is revelation, not some scientific proof.



Let each discipline have its own territory, but neither should intrude into the other. Science is about the "how" of things; religion and philosophy are about the "why" - things science cannot answer. "Why is there a universe?" To answer "big bang" or "string theory" or something else are "how" answers to the "why" question.



Forgive me.

Religion has reformed many times , a belief and practice system should increase goodness and reduce fear that leads to sin , it should become more self evident as science advances , the truth in religion is self evident its just that the next reformation is a big one.

I've found that the best answer to a lot of questions like this is by looking in the Bible. If you are not opposed to that idea, I do have an answer for you.



First off, whenever the Bible does touch on science, it is always correct. Such as the fact of the Earth being suspended on nothing. This can be found at Job.26:7. During Job's time many believed that half of the the earth was floating on water. At Isa.40:22 it brings out the circle of the Earth where for many years people thought it was flat.



As for proof as to whether God exists, the answer can be quite simple like oxygen, you know it's there, but you can't see it. The fact that the world and universe moves with such perfection shows a hand in there being something greaer than yourself. From the way the universe almost moves like a wave according to NASA's recent studies.

To the amazing DESIGN of a gecko's webbed footing. It can't simply be explained away by something as random as a big bang theory.



You can look at a rather famous mans words on this to his own professor:



A University professor at a well known institution of higher learning challenged his students with this question. "Did God create everything that exists?"



A student bravely replied, "Yes he did!"



"God created everything?" The professor asked.



"Yes sir, he certainly did," the student replied.



The professor answered, "If God created everything; then God created evil. And, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then we can assume God is evil."



The student became quiet and did not answer the professor's hypothetical definition. The professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.



Another student raised his hand and said, "May I ask you a question, professor?"



"Of course", replied the professor.



The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?"



"What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?"



The other students snickered at the young man's question.



The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460 F) is the total absence of heat; and all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat."



The student continued, "Professor, does darkness exist?"



The professor responded, "Of course it does."



The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact, we can use Newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color.



You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present."



Finally the young man asked the professor, "Sir, does evil exist?"



Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course, as I have already said. We see it everyday. It is in the daily examples of man's Inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.



To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat, or the darkness that comes when there is no light."



The professor sat down.

A Biochemist Explains His Faith

Dr. Davey Loos is a biochemist in Belgium. At one time, he doubted the existence of a Creator, believing instead in evolution. Later, he changed his mind. What caused a researcher to reconsider his beliefs about the origin of life? Awake! asked Dr. Loos about his science and his faith.

The church has always believed in a literal genesis story it wasn't until about 20 years ago that the allegorical genesis story started making rounds on the internet.

Feel free to pm me for any other question about this; I have spent dozens of hours researching with articles and vids on arguments of both sides. theman3862@yahoo.com





Anything that prevents unnecessary suffering or increases well-being of living things is morally good. Anything that causes unnecessary suffering or unnecessarily decreases well-being is morally bad.





Atheist point of view.



Let's say I asked you why you believe in Yahweh, or better yet, how you know Yahweh is real. Lets put up two scenarios.



Scenario 1

"I have experienced Him in church, or have seen miracles, or have witnessed things in my dreams, or can prophesy." Ok. I would, as an atheist, probably believe you. I would believe that you are telling me the truth and truly believe you have experienced these things. I would submit to you two ideas.

1. These things do not require any supernatural involvement. These feelings can be artificially induced in a lab (the god helmet), and your dreams and prophecies could have been coincidences; what is more likely - that the laws of physics have been bent in your favor or that there is a physical explanation for what is happening? Everything you experienced is a result of the neuro-chemical properties of the brain.

But, for the sake of argument, lets say there is no scientific explanation for what is going on. Do you know what that means? It means that we don't know what is going on. It could have been a result of physical, chemical, or biological properties we do not yet understand, you may not remember everything correctly, it could have been aliens or secret technology being tested on you. All we know is that we don't know, and to claim you do know when you don't know is a lie. The moment you introduce "miracles" as a possibility you immediately stall scientific progress; because if it was a miracle, than by definition there is no physical explanation and therefor no scientific explanation and therefor no way to know and therefor no reason to investigate. As soon as you claim "miracle", you prevent the well-being of living things by scientific understanding.

But, for the sake of argument, lets assume that these things could prove the supernatural; which brings us to



2. How do you know there is a god? Lets say you have a vision of a bearded man saying "tomorrow, 9/11/2001, two planes will crash into the world trade cents and others will crash into the pentagon and onto some field." And then you wake up on 9/11/2001 and it happens. That would sure convince me that something is going on.

Now, lets again assume without reason that there is no explanation that does not violate the laws of physics, making the only explanations supernatural. Let us also assume (more reasonably so) that this was not a one in one billion chance coincidence (meaning it would have happened 7 times anyways).

Ask yourself, "What do I know?" You know that

1. You knew the future

2. It was not a coincidence

3. Something supernatural happened

According to this, that is all you know. You don't know whether you received this information from an intelligent being, even if you did you don't know whether that being is all powerful, even if it is you don't know if it created the universe, you don't know its name, you don't know how it came into existence if it did at all, you don't know if or how it played a part in human history and you don't know what its character is like nor what it thinks of our species nor do you know of its plan, and that is all in the assumption that you did receive that information from an intelligent supernatural being.

The only reason you claim to know any of this is because you read it in a book. A fallible translation - fallibly translated hundreds of times by fallible men - of a fallible book written by fallible men claiming to have fallibly interpreted such a being's means of communication. Even I you claim to know it was a God, which you cannot claim to know, you still have no good reason based on evidence to believe anything that is written in that book.





Scenario 2

"Science proves it."

Well sweet hot sweaty bare-dark-skinned sideways damn. I'd love to hear why. But let me provide you with some stuff that debunks common PRATS - Points Refuted A Thousand timeS.

Is something wrong with me(religion)? Fake Patriarch Kirill and other fake church leaders signed a document in 2006 where it says that all religions worship the same supreme being; anathema. Last Orthodox Patriarch is Patriarch Irenaios of Jerusalem. Major heresy of the last century was that the name of the Creator doesn't have anything to

do with the Creator.

American pronunciation of the word "God/god" is "gaad" which means Satan in Ruski.

Ruski words for "English" and "angelic" are very similar; Satan was an angel.

Read only Bible that is translated by theologians. John the Baptist ate only carobs and honey. Eating bugs like locusts leads to demon possession and three stands of DNA. 666ed people eat GMO food (which is food with bug DNA).

Ecumenism has 263 heresies; each heresy leads to hell.

Roman Catholic icons are drawn from naked people.

Orthodox icons are inspired by the Holy Spirit.

When you look directly into the eyes of the figure depicted on an Orthodox icon, energy is coming your way, that is, you get healed.

If you look at Buddhist-Roman Catholic-Satanic icons, you get the passions from the person depicted.

There has been a study done by Ruski scientists. When an Orthodox Christian crosses regular water, it becomes better. When an Orthodox Christian priest crosses regular water, it becomes even better than if regular Orthodox Christian crosses the water. This is the usual.

Now, we are in the end days. In some churches (that have been infiltrated by the antichrist's minions), antichrist's blood is served. Also, scanners put 666 on foreheads at the entrance. Theotokos Virgin Mary pushed down the altars at these churches (invisible to humans). Icons in these churches are changed to Satanic-Buddhist-Roman Catholic type instead of normal. Water (instead of becoming better) becomes worse when "blessed" in these "churches".

Orthodox icons must have correct hand signals.

Correct blessing hand means Alpha and Omega

AND

Iesus Christous (Jesus Christ in Greek and Church Slavonic).

Incorrect hand signals are signifying the antichrist.

Also, do you see the scrolls on the Orthodox icons?

They will be opened when antichrist will be coming to town.

These scrolls will reveal everything about the antichrist.

Note also, calendar must be Orthodox, not Roman Catholic.

During the 8th "wolf" Council, antichrist will kill those priests who

disagree with him. Other priests will worship him when a bird dies at

his feet.

Pelageya of Ryazan said that there will only be seven churches left in the end days.

Vaccines, IVs, tooth fillings/implants, cosmetics, medicaments, certain foods and drinks, etc. contain nanochips and/or cells of aborted fetuses; intake of which leads to demon possession.

Give back your documents to the gov't and live in Ural Mountains or Alaska.

Heresy leads to loss of love. Rapture is a heresy. You have to hide with Orthodox Christians to escape 666. Reject globalism, UFOs, documents, vaccines, ecumenism, cities, technology, etc.

The only true Christians are people who rejected mark of the beast documents and drink blood of Jesus.

Note, some churches serve antichrist's blood. So, choose wisely.

Read the Book of Revelation.

It's all clear now anyway if you have wisdom to

understand that 2 elongated lines on a barcode is a 6.

Each barcode has 3 double elongated lines.

Hence, it spells 666.

Barcode on documents leads to temporary hell.

Barcode on one's body by isotope rays leads to permanent hell.

According to Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov, 666ed people will

first hide the green 666 with durags and long sleeves, but then openly will walk

with shiny green 666 on their foreheads or wrists.

The Most Holy Trinity gives you a name during baptism.

Devil gives you an anti-name during anti-baptism.

Barcode is Druid black magic curse and a form of mark of the beast just like Social Security.

People who took any number (which is an anti-name given during anti-baptism by the beast) on documents or in computer go to temporary hell;

but those who receive green 666 (given with World Passport with no name on it) on forehead or wrist go to permanent hell.

How not to go to hell?

Give back all these anti-name anti-baptism documents back to the beast

by writing to appropriate authorities.

If authorities refuse to cancel these anti-names, then write again (up to three times).

If you wrote to the gov't three times about it, but gov't refused, then The Most Holy Trinity

will not send you to hell.

Don't take the microchip. If you already took it, get rid of it because microchipped people will be influenced by computers to take the World Passport (grey plastic card with no name on it).

Don't go into a UFO to be healed by demons. Those who reject 666 will go to heaven. Also, their direct ancestors will be saved from hell.

All who call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ or sign themselves with sign of the cross during WW3 will be saved. War in Ukraine will last two years (2014 - 2016). Then WW3 will start. Then Tsar (revealed by resurrected Seraphim of Sarov) will come to power in Russia to protect people from the antichrist. Antichrist will allow all sin. Don't sin. The Most Holy Trinity is merciful but 666 is not forgivable. 666 is given with grey plastic card.

Food stores, prisoners, and police will 666 people too. Don't get new documents. Don't get any surgeries. Don't eat meat. Don't eat fast food. Don't eat junk food. Pray the Jesus prayer.

Don't go into UFO to be healed by evil demons. Feed the pigeons. Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael. Reject vaccines. Hide with Orthodox Christians to escape mark of the beast; leave all electronics behind so that you can't be tracked.

Antichrist's next target is the Statue of Liberty.

One big shake, one giant step forward, one giant collapse.

You use your spirit to talk to The Most Holy Trinity.

Demons attack soul and body.

Demons live inside clones. Jesus died for all sins committed by all.

Jesus said that you have to drink His blood.

All people have soul, body, and spirit.

In animals, blood substitutes soul.

That's why you're forbidden to drink animal blood.

Animals don't have spirit.

You're forbidden to drink human blood (like during blood transfusion) because sins transfer.

You're told to drink blood of Jesus (because He's sinless) so that your sins are forgiven.

Dogs are not allowed in your home and your church because the Holy Spirit will leave.

One can receive mark of the beast because of cats; so, stay away from cats.

Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael; he rescues people from hell twice a year (or brings them up a level, that is, to a level with less punishment; eventually, people are freed). Feed the pigeons; when pigeons bow down, people are saved from hell. Birds participate in time creation. It's a sin to kill birds. Dinosaurs live under our level. They will get out through sinkholes and lakes. To kill them, go for their nerves. Save the birds; but kill the dinosaurs. First dinosaur will come out of Volga River in Russia. Since antichrist (born to a 12th generation prostitute, flying, big-nailed, gloved, pale-faced, red-eyed, Satan-possessed since he's 12 years old, homosexual man from the tribe of Dan, who wears blue robe over left shoulder while red/pink robe is underneath just like Jesus, and is surrounded by demons but people see angels of light) is around, there is no need for disputes. Forgive me.
