| DaRev said: Funny how you can accept certain things that are "untestable" like what's outside our universe, but at the same time reject certain things that "untestable" like God. Funny, doesn't it mean then that you need FAITH to believe what these Scientists are saying about the God Particle (lol that must be very offensive term to some). I mean you can't test it, but believe in it? What if this dude came out tomorrow and tells you he not only found the God Particle (love that name) but he actually found God, Anyways, nope never did physics or biology - why? Have you taken religious classes at college? |
- what then? What if this dude come out and tells you he found the Heavn Particle outside of the untestable space that our untestable but acceptable Universe(s), all 6 of them, are expanding into - what then? You guys must have FAITH as big as Christians
DaRev, why are you ignoring me? You still haven't responded to this:
| DaRev said: To answer your question is simple - I believe in one god because the written source of my belief in a Creator aka the Bible, says there is only one God. But practically, the other two major religions (Jews and Muslims) also believe in one God. |
You just ignored a giant piece of text. Here, I'll post it again:
No, you don't have to apply faith at all. Science theorizes on how the universe formed. It doesn't attempt to explain why it formed, or what happened before it formed (if such a time even existed). There's a big difference between science and religion here. When encountered with a question that's currently impossible to know (for example: why the universe exists), science doesn't make any blind guesses just for the sake of having an answer. Science admits it doesn't have the answer and works towards finding an answer. Science doesn't even claim that there is no God (well, for certain Gods, it does). It makes no claims on the matter whatsoever. So where is the faith?
On the other hand, certain religions make all types of assumptions about why the universe was formed, what/who existed before the universe formed, the existence of a creator, etc. Not only does it assume a creator, but it also assumes very specific traits for that creator. Clearly, making assumptions requires a lot more faith than admitting that the answer currently isn't available.
As for your answer, I will respond with a few questions. Firstly, what makes the Bible accurate? Secondly, what do other religions have to do with validating your beliefs? If you're a Christian, then you don't agree with their texts to begin with, so how do they support your claim? Moreover, what does being "major" have to do with being correct? Popularity is not an indicator of accuracy.
