I am frustrated when any false Christian ignores science and humanity when supporting the radical pro abortion Democrat Party. They are complete phonies whose priorities are based on themselves. I find that this phoniness is much more prevalent in non Christians. They totally ignore the science that tells us a human life begins at conception, yet they still vote for those who keep the killing legal for any reason. Side: No.
It already does because many of the first Christians were scientists like Galileo, Johannes Kepler, Issac Newton, Francis Bacon , and many others paved the way for modern science because of their connection with God and they made some really good things that we wouldn't have found today because of them. Side: Yes.

The only reason that Gods exist is because people don't have all of the answers to life's questions. God is an easy way to explain it without scientific evidence. As science answers more and more questions with evidence and proof less people rely on religion. If you truly have a scientific mind you can't believe in God's as there is no evidence to support Gods. Side: No.
You appeal to science, but how often do you actually perform science? Do you ever go through the scientific method? You are posturing. You are talking about things you don't understand. The evidence to support the existence of God is in knowing what the word "God" with a capital "G" means. The Supreme and Ultimate Reality. There is no science without God. Side: Yes.
Primarily because there is no logical leg to stand on to assert that a god, much less a specific god, exists in the first place. And while we have thousands of different gods that people have been convinced to kill for, die for, rape for, pretty much commit every crime against humanity for, we have exactly one scientific method and it works. Planes fly, cars drive, computers compute, vaccines save lives, electricity lights up and heats your house- thank science. Religion, on the other hand, has admittedly furthered society in terms of artistic and architectural contributions, but other than that, mostly in comforting delusions. If you want to believe in a god, that's your business, your right, and I'll let you live your own life. Plenty of intelligent people have believed in a god, and there's no good reason to hold that against them. But no god has any place in the scientific community other than as a hypothesis that doesn't hold up well to scrutiny, until we find actual evidence of one. Even if that happens, you'll still have a long way to go before you are able to assert that such a god happens to be your god. As such, believe what you will, it's not my business, and my religious document happens to be the American Constitution. But don't think that I'm obligated to seriously regard a religious claim over a scientific one. Side: No.
Exactly the way I feel, Sexy, well said. Many people have waited for centuries for a "god" to show itself. I'm still looking ... don't see a thing. I see science every day, it makes "miracles" happen every day. God, I love science! We ALL should, it saves lives, cures disease, keeps us from freezing to death, defends us from enemies, HELPS us! Often a "god" gets the credit. Science tells us that we are ruining the world, we've GOT to correct it! "God" tells us HE's going to destroy it ... no, WE are! Side: No.
I'm pretty sure you're being sarcastic, but fuck it, I have the day off and nothing better to do. What is this "supreme and ultimate reality"? Are you able to define this "god" whatsoever? Don't get me wrong, if reality itself is your god, and you are working to define reality and truth like the rest of us, being open all the while to new evidence and information, that's all well and good. I can get behind that. But if you simply have an imaginary friend that you label The Supreme and Ultimate Reality because that sounds nice in your head... Well, you're an idiot. But, I don't think the latter is the case. I think you just like to throw a monkey wrench into religious debates, and hey, I can respect that too. Side: No.
It is not blind faith to believe that The Supreme and Ultimate Reality exists. It takes more blind faith to believe in science. What is science? Knowledge. You place your faith in your understanding? The only conflict is that science can never be God. This has been proven very conclusively. Side: Yes.
