Thought of the Day 18th July

Many scientists will say "I cant belive in religion". On the other hand, if you ask them, do you have free will, almost every scientist instinctivly believes so. He has free will.

He can choose somethings, he can descide to go this way, or that way.

But, there is in fact no room for free will in present scientific law and yet almost every scientst believes he has some.

Belief in free will does not imply belief in religion
Being a scientist does not imply one isn't religious

How is there "no room" for free will?

There are certain atheist in this forum, that I will not respond to, because of their lack of sincerity. (they know who they are)

What would fabian say? Are you going against his mantra, ie. that science and religon never mix? (If so, I would be interested on your take on this...and hopefully you are not talking about Scientology 😛 )

There is a difference between conflating religion with science, and believing in God whilst also being a scientist. :]

Furthermore, I discredit Scientology no more than I discredit other religions 😛

Believe in "religion"...?

I can't make up my mind as to whether 'organised religion' is social problem or just someones idea of a joke which happens to make money.
