@glitterbag,
Quote:Some find the need for faith in a creator or God more compelling than others. Not everyone who reads what you choose to believe finds it rational.
I have no need for faith. I just want to understand. I want to understand where all the order in the universe came from and why so, I can figure out how to use it. I do the same with everything I use that has complexity from my car to my I-phone.
Understanding is a scientific and historical effort to understand how a systems operate the way the builders intended it.
It gets really frustrating when you tell my belief is based on faith when I understand where gravity, nuclear forces, and the constants comes from. I understand what the universe had to be like before the big bang, what changed during the Big Bang, and why all those events happened the whole time, basing that understanding on scientific and historical evidence, not faith.
The only faith I have is that God will keep his promises but, that is not relevant to this topic.
You on the other hand (and the rest of the scientific world) take it on faith that the big bang created all the hydrogen and helium necessary for the universe through a gravitational event. (though, you can't even tell me why we have gravity nor if it even existed before the big bang. I am supposing you also take it on faith that gravity did exist before hydrogen and helium).
You take it on faith that abiogenisis can happen spontaneously.
And finally, you take it on faith that the pattern we observe today which is:
That all new information that enters the universe either has an author or it's being delivered by a system that has an author like artificial intelligence in computers which also have an author.
was broken when the system known as evolution through natural selection was introduced. That system you take on faith did not have an author.
Quote:I don't understand why it's so important for you to provide what you believe as 'religion proof " (pick another term if that one gives you trouble...I don't care) and force others to agree with you.
Because I want scientists and everybody else to quit taking things on faith in the name of science and instead
, understand.
