I've got my reasons, QT. Do you? Because I never will understand how people can believe in a god. Peep game, because this is where it gets interesting:

Nah, I'm not knockin' you, I respect everybody's beliefs, no matter what chu believe.
But what have scientists proved though? They don't have any evidence that God doesn't exist. They tell you we evolved. Why can't they tell you about miracles though? Why can't they explain exorcisms? Why can't they explain spirits and physics? What they got to say about Angel sightings? They can tell you we was monkeys but they can't explain these Powers that God is known to carry. Word up or not??
If I was a catholic I would tell you, ya'll gonna be spending a hot minute in purgatory :D
Lol, I'm just playin'.

Oh, so now the burden of proof about the existence of a God is on the scientists? Instead of the fallacy driven mystical religious books (and they say they're metaphorical, just to cover up the holes) blindly being assumed as the absolute truth, ratio is supposed to fight such a blind submission?
There is no way for ratio to overcome faith. Faith is not based on reality or based on facts, so what's logic going to do about that?

Based on a theory of good old Darwin, against which scientists have found no opposing evidence yet. Millions of scientists are confronted with this issue every day of their work, and the theory still stands strong. In fact, the further science evolves, the more obvious the truth behind Darwin's theory of evolution gets.
Remember that scientists rely on observable facts. What does that tell you?

And back to the mystical concept of religion. Since it isn't based on observable reality, the followers of religion are led to believe in things they can't see or witness, and which oppose the laws of nature. The result: some people become so highly affected as to believe in things such as exorcism, angel sightings and the like. Their sense of reality has cut loose from their minds. That's the brain thinking the senses have registered something. In science, that's called hallucinating. It's very much scientifically proved to be true, and it plays a huge role in psychology.

--- End quote ---
Oh, but wait, that is also explained in psychology (which is also a science based on observable facts). What's left to be logically explained about a concept that's not observable? You only assume there is a duality between the spirit and the physical. What to think of neurological sciences, which provide insight in the activities of the brain concerning emotions, learning capabilities, language, visual insight, the connection between brain parts, the collaborating, et cetera? These have been objects of study for scientists for years. To dispose their observations and rational findings, only because of some unproven concept of a God, that's a crime against your own senses. Are you that lowly?

God isn't known to carry any powers. There are rational explanations for every mystical assumption. Every time we find some new miracle, it's only a matter of time before an explanation follows.
Thunderstorms used to be miracles. Diseases used to be miracles. Man found out the truth, and those miracles became just conditions. We've got cures for illness, yet back in the days illness was ascribed to the work of God.
Now the creation of the earth is a miracle. It's only a matter of time before science uncovers the truth. Until then we'll remain ignorant about it, but the concept of religion should be very clear to you by now.
In other words, no word up from me.

Just because I don't believe in religion, doesn't mean that I'm evil. I live as righteously as I can... By my own laws, my own conclusions about reality. They're not in conflict, as opposed to a religion which tells you to believe or be doomed. Cut down on your senses or sense the pain. But how are you going to experience pain, when you're ignorant of your senses?
Peace, QT! You're a honest dude. Props.

:laugh:
I understand you got your beliefs, so I'm not tryin' to disrespect that. But you don't even believe in miracles??
All I'ma say is you should listen to some Mahalia Jackson, that'll make you want to believe. ;D Oh, and even Mariah Carey's Christmas album, since it's that time. Which actually what about Christmas time? Do you celebrate that shit?
Sorry homie, I'm not tryin to be disrespectful, I'm just curious.
