People with strong religious leaning tend to look for evidence that supports their beliefs, rather than searching for evidence that best explains something.
are you serious? the very nature of research is finding evidence that supports your hypothesis.
you just received the "no shit" award for the day.
By confining yourself to religion, you close your mind to new possibilities.
evidentally you've never heard of the great scientists who were also devout christians.
Just imagine, what if religion didn't exist? We'd probably have warp drive and fucking transporters and be exploring the damn delta quadrant by now.
history of theology as spouted by a high schooler, with either/or arguments included. stfu
religion is nothing more than man projecting his image upon himself. thus it acted as a societal glue that kept civilizations together and allow man to reach a point of advancement that allowed science to take a more socially accepted branch of study.
what's hillarious is you're trying to reason that humans are wholly rational creatures. they aren't. hell, we can't reason ourselves into existing peacefully on the earth, so what makes you think we'd jump from basic hominids searching for food to running around blasting shit in the stars? again, you live up to your handle.
Just look at the Dark Ages; 800 years where scientific intellectualism was considered blasphemy and scores of brilliant minds were most likely put to death.
as if the beloved science didn't? engineer a slingshot, before too long you're onto machined weapons, firearms, all that jazz. there's no difference in your reasoning for an either/or argument other than you're attempting to substitute one for the other and failing to realize the human element.
I can't even fathom what 800 years of scientific, medical and technological advancement at the rate we've reached today could have done for our society.
what society? american? chinese? lol, european? such advancemnets typically only benefit those who live within your "society".
STFU
