Why all religion is pointless

Science doesn't know anymore where this universe came from than a broom stick, don't let yourself be fooled without study the issues.

There is no science that has proven God doesn't exist. If you are an atheist then you have faith that He doesn't exist, similar to theists who have faith that He does. Don't fool yourself into thinking science has replaced religion.

WOAH, thanks for that Lekatt very interesting reading, it would be such a nice thought to think after we die we live on. However I never take anything I read seriously as this story may have been fabricated. I would be a much happier person knowing that dieing is not the end of my world and there is something else.

Please let it be so....

There is so many people with no faith in the world including myself, its very difficult to cope with life when you think of it as merley a biological event. About the consciousness being not contained in the body if this was the case wy do people lose their personality when they have a brain injury.

And Religion does? Science has a firm grip on that broomstick and religion has it's head -----------.

The difference is that science approaches the question by looking at the facts, and religion starts with an irrational assumption and works backwards trying to prove it is true.

Sounds like you just came from science class. Where the universe started facts do not exist. No one knows where, how, or when the first matter/energy appeared. Neither do they know what if anything caused it. While both science and religion make irrational assumptions, both also contain logic and critical thinking. The wise attempt to separate the two.

Science doesn't claim to know what caused the first appearance of matter, energy, or life, or the cause of it. Religion does.

Science does not make any statements as fact without using logic and critical thinking to come to conclusions. Religion does.

Of the two, which would you say uses a more logical and critical approach?

Lekatt,

It goes like this...

Two guys were hanging out in a field one day. It was just the two of them and whatever field creatures were milling about. There was no "God".

Then some thunder happened or lightning struck and one of the men told the other man that a great being (God) had created the thunder or lightning.

The other man said, "I don't know about that." The first man then replied, "I do know. You will know when you feel it, and I feel it."

---

Man created "God" rather than the opposite.

The creation of God boils down to an electronics salesman giving you misinformation because he's scared of telling you that he doesn't know the answer to your question but still wants you to buy what he's selling.

I will have to disagree with you since things like evolution is being taught in school as if it were fact instead of theory.

The last thing is you can use logic and/or critical thinking all day long and not come up with any truth.

Out of all the religions ever created i personally hate christianity the most. It is responsible for more death and destruction of man kind then anything else that is present today.

My opinion. I own it.

Evolution is taught because it is the most plausible theory. Ie. The theory with the most FACT to back it up. The beauty about science is that if another theory becomes more plausible it will become the theory that is taught.

With religion, the original story is THE story. Religions don't, generally speaking, want to discover new stories, because it makes their story invalid.

Science doesn't claim to know what caused the first appearance of matter, energy, or life, or the cause of it. Religion does.
