God is not an elephant.
And man will be man. He always looks for acceptance from his peers and for the easy way out. The wise man looks for acceptance from God and is not afraid of a little hard work.

The proper application of faith is as powerful as the proper application of science.
Faith is another kind of knowledge, just like science.
Actually, the proper application of faith is nothing like as powerful as the proper application of science.

As equals.
As alternatives.
As different "kinds of Truth"
They use scientific words such as power, energy and force.
BS
Religion has NOTHING

Suzianne: The proper application of faith is as powerful as the proper application of science. Faith is another kind of knowledge, just like science.Does any of this matter to doomsday Christians who think ~ and even hope ~ the world will "end" in their lifetimes?

You keep telling yourself that Slacker while you offer up incense to an effigy of Darwin in your University shrines and read from the same hymn books with your abiogenesis creations myths and religious mantras. E=MC^2 All hail the God of Science, in you we put our hope. And yet ask it a question - Why the universe? and look it is absolutely bereft, Man what a bunch of spangles you materialists are.
Gotcha.
