The Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg.

I studied neuroscience/biophysics there.

Does that mean everyone believing in something that can't be proved at the moment are dumb? Last time I asked you said 'Yes!'.

And I agree saying to people they can go to hell for not believing is flaming, but I haven't seen anyone do that (not that I've been watching the thread closely, so it might have happened anyway).

And why is my belief insulting you? You have no idea what I believe in.

Yeah that's what I mean with the habiru people.  I forgot what they were called.

What I meant by saying that people decompose in 2,000 years was under normal circumstances.  Pharaohs were obviously preserved through elaborate processes.  If humans have been around for a few hundred thousand years then where are the 100 billion bodies?

And don't even get me started on macro vs. micro evolution.  Randomness does not get you from nothing to atoms to bacteria to fish to reptiles to apes to me.  It does get you finches of varying beak structure.

I got the urge to insult someone, but i decided to leave this thread.

Science advancement will cut back the religious influence until nothing is left.

that'll be some awesome thing to see, just hope iam around to watch it come true!

Pharaohs (and many other Egyptians buried in the desert) were preserved because of the dry humidity.  There are human remains dating back millions of years and we find more all the time, though it is difficult because there were so few early humans (we bottlenecked to around 10,000 people before the last Ice Age).  Atomic decay is a sure thing, in fact our vast knowledge of physics and chemistry is what allows you to see what I am typing right now.

Evolution is proven by all types of science and the fossil record to genetics.  Genetic mutations happen all of the time, and considering that your DNA is replicated trillions of times and then passed off to your children, its pretty obvious that there are going to be errors.  

Where else do all of these old bones of different looking species come from?  Do you think God kills off every living thing of Earth every 100,000 years or so and creates vaguely similar new species?

I am 100% an Atheist. There are questions that science has yet to answer but there is nothing that science cannot answer.  I understand why religion exists both from a cognitive and a historical perspective but it really has no place in an enlightened society.

Sadly, I doubt we will ever be able to rid ourselves of religion because no matter how far we progress the vast majority of people simply lack the skill set to make use of this information except that the most superficial levels.

There actually are some things that science is fundamentally incapable of explaining. I can think of two examples off the top of my head. First, science cannot explain the rationality of the universe because science already assumes the universe is rational. Science assumes the future is like the past (principle of uniformity), and it also assumes Ockham's razor in many instances, so it cannot justify these principles.

Second, science is explained through mathematical formulas, but these laws are all contingent and rely on contingent variables. Mathemtical equations represent relationships between terms, but the constants within the equations are not explained by the equation itself. The equations can explain the relationship between constants, but it does not explain why the constants have that specific value. There will need to be something outside the actual equation to explain the constant. In this instance, you can see how even a Grand Unified Theory(GUT) that unifies all other scientifc laws will still have constants within it that are not explained by the theory itself.

Agnostic I guess. Cannot believe in a higher power that would punish people in my life, taking them away and therefore punishing me, all for being good people.
