Science doesn't make you fly airplanes into buildings, arf.

The point is quality of life.  We're all (individually and as a species) going to die eventually.  That does not mean that quality of life isn't important.  Personally, if it was a choice between humanity living for 1,000 more years with a high quality of life, or for a million more but in the condition of cavemen, I'd take 1,000.

If religion would teach morals then there wouldn't be no religious extremists.

Fact is, people don't learn morals from Religion... Otherwise Atheists would be pushing immoral values.
Rather... Morals are learned from life experience, it's called Empathy.

For example... I would hate to chop someones leg off with a chainsaw, because I would hate it done to myself.

There is "morality" in science (If you can call it that). It's called Pseudoscience. - It's how people use "science" to reinforce their belief the world is flat or other stances that better align to their religious doctrine.

Science doesn't give a shit about politics... It doesn't care about religion, It never cared for how a countries economy is run, it doesn't even care if you exist or not.
Science is about knowledge and the gathering of knowledge and the demonstration of that knowledge.

Technology is a subset of science. And Science is the only thing we can leverage to clean all that up and learn.

No one has claimed that Science has dropped the ball during history, but through Science we do learn from our past mistakes.

But if it's a body count you are clinging too... Religion is still the cause for war even in 2018.

I have "faith" that praying to a God does not have a positive impact upon the Earth. - Ironic you need evidence for my position though, but not your own.
Fact is... There is zero evidence to point to a God even existing, let alone prayer having any effect on the natural world.

I haven't had a theistic debate on this forum just yet, do you wish to follow me down that rabbit hole? ;) I do have a good grasp on Physics.

Or hows about no? It was a question, not a statement.

Are you serious? This is why religion is moronic, it's imposing it's religious ideology, holding back solutions to making the world better/fixing world problems...  Then when they are called out on it... They claim had nothing to do with it? That's some circular logic bullshit going on there my dear watson.

No?

Name one.

With the amount of priests that have had sexual abuse allegations leveraged against them, clearly religion isn't a path to being moral/having empathy either.

Morals and Empathy is born out of life experience... Pain, suffering, joy, happiness and not wanting to treat others the way you wish to be treated, religion isn't a requirement for any of that... Which is why extremely Atheist nations tend to still have a great track record of human rights.

Some literally are though.

Diseases evolve, they would have evolved and gotten more dangerous regardless of scientific advancement.

False. The Big Bang is not just a proposition.
There is literally evidence for it's happening... Such as the Cosmic Microwave Background or CMB for short.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_microwave_background

The Big Bang is also built on models from the theory of general relativity, the same theory that allows our GPS satellites to function in space.

What is a proposition is... God. There is zero evidence or models supporting the assertion that a God even exists.

That's not evidence that the Scientific Community uses faith.
That is just evidence that the Science wasn't fully understood.

Indeed.
There are actually two types of theories.
You have the standard theory which is just an "idea".

Then you have a Scientific Theory which is almost the complete opposite, which is an explanation of a working model based on empirical evidence.

so thats more of a threat to 'humanity' than a 1000 atomic bombs going off all at once ? science is a tool for the extremists and you dont have to be a christian or muslim or whatever to use it.

Good answer.

I didn't say that, don't put words in my mouth. But you go ahead and tell the people that are getting slaughtered like pigs by religious extremists that religion isn't a threat to them.

it's better if you go and tell them that there are normal religious people and maybe they'll spare you because they'll think you're just a nut.

ps

i didnt put words in your mouth thats what i got from your post.

Perhaps people don't need to work as hard as they do. Yet the dream is to become the one with the private jet and a garage full of gas guzzling monsters. Or a bit less ambitious, a nice house in the suburbs which requires a long daily polluting commute. Science made that possible. It's also proposing cleaner ways, yet those are more costly and thus not cool.

Both religion and science offer sustaining ways of life anyway. You can build your own house in Alaska off the grid and use solar power and any other technologies to become completely independent. Or you can become Amish and set the clock back to before the industrial revolution.

Neither are a solution for 7 billion people. A holy war can cull the population with science. Or people can smarten up and start using greener tech to preserve their long term lifestyle. Or we can just wait and see what happens. Religion certainly won't save us, science has a better chance. A small one. Short term profits are more important.

Biggest threat to humanity is apathy!

Now that I think about it... isn't any long-standing, widely accepted belief technically a religion? The belief that we should live long, healthy lives is a religion, is it not? The believe that war is bad and we should be at peace is a religion. The belief that science is important is a religion.

I think we all live by some form of religion, even if we don't want to admit it.

"Religion is still the cause for war even in 2018."

religion caused the united states to bomb syria? which religion?

"Fact is... There is zero evidence to point to a God even existing, let alone prayer having any effect on the natural world."

why don't you try to pray for yourself and see if it has any impact on your condition?

"Are you serious?

They claim had nothing to do with it? That's some circular logic bullshit going on there my dear watson."

the point i made is that climate change is caused as a result of science in terms of the current global warming trends... had religion been allowed to suppress science, then it would not have happened... do you disagree with that?

" Which is why extremely Atheist nations tend to still have a great track record of human rights."

like the soviet union? and maoist china? beyond them i can't name another atheist nation... can you give an example? because the two i listed would be terrible examples

"The Big Bang is not just a proposition.

There is literally evidence for it's happening"

the big bang is still considered a theory which is another way of saying proposition

"That's not evidence that the Scientific Community uses faith.

That is just evidence that the Science wasn't fully understood."

they had faith that the evidence presented in these cases was accurate and as a result they used harmful procedures or pushed lies... how can you really deny that?
