Nitrogen and Hydrogen colliding? A scientist said this?


its just one of many theories

Wow, I cannot in my right mind put forth the effort to explain how much is wrong with this thread. the very fact that almost 40% of people said God did it has me scared for the future generations and furthers my worries for the education level of people in the world.

Seriously people, faith is not science, get over yourself and the whole wide world will be better for it.

I am appalled by your collective ignorance.

Care to elaborate?

No not really.  why?  becuase it doesn't matter what kind of person you are (whether you agree with me or not), I won't be changing anyone's mind or making some deep meaningful statement worth quoting.  

Science is good for you, that is all :P

now i am scared for future generation cause of your ignorance and blind belief

lolwat? really? 


yeah really

if they had a stuck mindset like you do,we would never progress

have you ever seen evidence of science or big bang

the problem is that you have shut ur mind out.people do that when they get fixed with ideas and the soceity which we live in.if our soceity never brought up science,you would never think like this.

like relgion its just human culture

 

science means reasoning that everything comes from something and goes into another thing,its just a concept and way of thinking

 

and if science says we came from big bang and there was never nothing before then it condradicts its own basis.science in the end will have to agree that there has to be be something before BIG BANG in any dimension or form which we may not even comprehend today

 

 

Science usually provides actual proof for what it states, and there's actual scientific proof that backs up the Big Bang theory. I know what you tried to do, but your lack of understanding of the difference between cultural creations such as religion, and science (which actually tries to form a connection with the real world, though culture does tend to set it back), led to you failing miserably.

but we really can't est it.

we can test modern day science as we have its proof right there

big bang happened a long time a ago,now there are just assumptions

 

i believe science.

 

its just that i am questioning the beginning and ending points

 

we do know whats the outside of religion but we have never actually really know it,that is only known by really high authorities like POPE and other people

its like if we today find the proof of existence by science,its beginning and ending point and afterlife and then we nuke ourselves,2000 years from now the new generations would never understand what we did.only some people carrying knowledge would everybody else would be calling it just a theory

 

for this you really have to know both the sides,we know science's side as its open to the world but not really the religious side

1) Yes they do. If god is not a higher power then he is no god.

2) The goal of science is to find out the truth of how the world work so if that is the truth that science found in that theory then science, by definition, didn't fail. Just because you do not like the result does not mean that it failed.

And don't forget what I said in an earlier post: if god exist and is omnipotent then he could have created the world 5 minutes ago and make it look like the big ban happened without him and make it look like this thread existed before 5 minutes ago (including our memories of it).

Science tries to understand the world as we can discern it but it can never prove the nonexistence of any omnipotent god (whether abrahamic or from other religious tradition) as such an entity could create the world to look like was created a different way.

All science can do is try its best to explain how the world is. If it contradicts holy writ then it is up to the believer, individually, to judge if he believes in a literal interpretation of his holy text and disbelieve science, whether he believes that those parts of the holy texts which contradict our best understanding of how the world works are allegorical or metaphorical or whether he believes that they are wrong, thus casting a shadow on the other parts of the holy texts.

Science in itself cannot disprove faith for faith is things believed without physical proof. You wouldn't say that you have faith that gravity exists because you just need to jump to experience it.

BTW, if you follow Star Trek, science cannot prove the nonexistence of Q either.

Straw man alert. You define science to be something it is not and then claim it contradicts itself.

Science does not mean reasoning in a vacuum. Science uses reasoning to formulate its theories but these theories need to have a strong foundation of empirical data from repeatable experimentation before they are widely accepted. What you describe is more akin to philosophy.

And science doesn't say that there was nothing before the big bang; one of the theories postulates that there was no before before the big bang (like there is no north north of the north pole) while others postulate other things. Which theory is the most likely to be true? We do not know yet, which is why it is still an active field of research.

Note also that science cannot contradict itself as all it is is a (very) educated (by experiment) best guess explanation of how the world is. So if on one hand the world appear to have a conservation of mass behaviour and one the other hand it appears to create mass out of nothing (the big bang) then it is not because science contradict itself, but because the universe gives us contradictory data.

For example, in Newton's time science had two contradictory understanding of light. Newton's theory said that light was made of particles while huygens' theory said that light was made of waves. Centuries later we finally understood, thanks to the development of quantum mechanics, that light (and all of matter) is both a particle and a wave form. Incidentally, if you like video games, music or movies then you have used that scientific theory as it was instrumental in the creation of the laser used to read the CDs/DVDs/Blu-Rays commonly used by these medium.

So if science seems to contradict itself it doesn't mean that science, as a whole, is wrong, but it means that either one of the contradictory theories is wrong or that we do not understand the world well enough to create a theory explaining all the facts that the contradictory theories deal with.

 

agree

its just that many people jsut lock their minds which i don't like

yeah the active research is the way to go

If there's something that the Pope knows secretly about religion, it's probably that it's all false, but he gets to live like a king and be worshipped, so it's OK for him. Also, if we nuked ourselves we'd probably all die (and if there are people left, then culture would've survived too, people wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel). And you still don't see the difference between science and religion.

Look at life and how perfectly the cycle works. Look at the Universe. Everything happens in a constant cycle. Why did evolution lead to our human existence? Why were plants created and animals created the way they are? There is a God, but we can never know just how as our knowledge is limited and the cycle is perfection. Why are humans able to manipulate data, to create? We are also given the power to question this and our existence.

Why cant I choose both science and religious faith? What exactly prohibits the person from embracing both?


You can, but it's not a very rational or logical decision.  I don't like resorting to similes, but saying you want to believe in science and have faith is no better than saying "I'm doing this test, but a few of these results aren't what I like, so I'm going to dismiss them based on my faith that I'm right and they were just faulty."  the very idea of sicence and faith are opposing.  Put it this way, faith wouldn't exist if there was proof, if there was proof it wouldn't be faith, it would be science.  Faith is, in a roundabout way, willful ignorance, the belif in something becuase you want to believe it, not because there's rational reason to believe it. 

That's kinda the whole point. 


I keep asking you, what is this ''proof'' that doesnt allow one to have faith in God. You seem to act like there is some divine reason and proof that makes all faith in God irrelevant. Keep in mind that absence of proof is no proof of absence. You also seem to think that faith is belief in something that is wrong based on evidence, when every person even slighlty educated will tell you that faith is when you believe in something you do not know based on evidence exists/will happen, but something inside you tells you so. And you'd be suprized how big of a role faith plays in modern science

What? 

and no, I said that faith is believing in something without adequate (or no) supporting evidence.  stop twisting my words, no wonder it's so hard to argue with those of faith.

No. It really isn't.

yes it is



Why do threads like this always end up in "us against them"? *Sigh* There's even insults being thrown about... -_-'

Okay one question, what difference does it make if someone who believes in God(s/ess/es), thinks it/they created the big bang/universe? It doesn't mean those people are going to reject the science once it's proven.

If someone really thinks science can prove things, but believe God created or did the things that aren't discovered yet, most are going to accept the theory of science if God is disproved. But since at the present moment it isn't, how is it bad to think God would be behind it? Anything goes at this point, since no one knows!

And maybe some people are hardcore religious fanatics but some people believe in a unknown higher power and don't subscribe to anything. Tell me that hurts society to just believe that! =_= It doesn't because the person isn't indoctrinated and relies on science but fills the gaps with God until science finds the truth. (Of course if they ever find the truth is another topic and perhaps the truth is that there is a higher power, then obviously the person would still believe.)

Anyway, I didn't really want to reply... But I just had to put my two cents in. I just wish some people could behave in a more tolerant and civilised manner. Btw, a lot of scientists do believe in higher powers.
