I suppose I’ll get whacked from all sides on this one but I'll post it anyway – the JCVI-syn3.0 a form of synthetic genome transplanted into another (presumably not synthetic) cell was produced by over 20 scientists at the John Craig Venter Institute in 2010. It didn’t happen by accident, from nothing or by chance. Is this not a huge irony for all non-designists? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycoplasma_laboratorium On May 21, 2010, Science reported that the John Craig Venter Institute had successfully synthesized the genome of the bacterium Mycoplasma mycoides from a computer record, and transplanted the synthesized genome into the existing cell of a Mycoplas…

I read this the other day from my grandson's school textbook - "Second example. Hundreds of thousands of years ago (The Stone Age) humans were just discovering tools and weapons and using them to hunt for food. Now fast-forward to the present day and look at any example of humans around now (eg tall, slim built, unfit, computer bound office worker or short, overweight, unfit computer bound office worker) and take him or her back in a time machine to the paleolithic era and see if he or she will survive. That’s evolution in humans. I can see how it would be understood by children . . . .but is it right? As in scientifically right

Over time, the bible has undergone changes in its original text. The word reincarnation was replaced by resurrection, for example. In the bible says that Jesus "ascended to heaven" in flesh and blood. In fact, Jesus in spirit was materialized and appeared to all. Opening a parenthesis, if Jesus walked on the waters, He in materialized spirit walked on the waters.

Hi. After a peaceful follower of the Quran reads (Surah 5:51) (Surah 2:191-193, 216-218, 244) (Surah 3:157-158, 169, 195) (Surah 4:71-74, 84,91) (Surah 5:35) (Surah 8:12, 17, 39, 60-65, 74-75) (Surah 9:5, 14, 20, 24, 29, 36, 38, 39, 41, 73, 111) (Surah 22: 58, 78) (Surah 25:52) (Surah 29:6) (Surah 47:4) (Surah 61:4, 11) (Surah 66:9) ----> Disobeying these above, by being peaceful towards other religions means going against the Quran ?

Sin is a privation of good. It is a wrong doing base on conscience and base on Christianity the humanity falls on it. It is like a disease that affects the whole mankind and the world. We ourselves can't escape from it. It is only God who can save us.

"knowing" christ exists and "knowing" your parents exist are 2 different things. we can see,hear,touch our parents. this can not be done with christ. please dont confuse "knowing" something and " believing" something. perhaps someone with more science knowledge can confirm this. but i would consider that there is no such thing as a scientific belief. there are facts,theories, and then a long list of things we dont know yet. but no belief.

It seems clearly that there is never a unit of nature, whether natural or "supernatural," that is perfectly symmetric, and that every unit of nature is perfectly asymmetric. Earth is a semi-symmetrical unit. Earth, moon and sun are a common unit. Earth, moon, "planets," sun and stars are another natural unit. Everything lacks perfect symmetry, and mandates perfect asymmetry. Regions of the seas appear at times to be ungoverned, but are clearly of one surface with the rivers and water tables, modulated by the ebb and flow of those rivers, and by the water tables under the earth, and by the winds and by vaporization and condensation. The passing of seasons on earth ap…

To answer that question, the first thing we have to do is understand what the definitions of science and religion are: sci·ence ˈsīəns/ noun noun: science the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. re·li·gion rəˈlijən/ noun noun: reli…

Physics is based on a set of axioms, which postulate the existence of entities such as atoms, particles, forces, charges, mass, and/or fields. All these entities could be better described as fields of one form or another, which exist in space or are a part of space, making up the entire infinite universe. Religious leaders historically gain influence over people by it's use of the fear of death and promises of an afterlife whereby you can sit on a clouds or be waited on by 40 virgins, the sex of which I guess is down to personal preference and availability of virgins. My views are atheist in that I do not believe in a god. However is it possible that there is life a…

These questions popped into my head, and i would like to see a different view on it. why is faith relevant? what relevance does it hold to this moment, right now, at which you are living your life in?

Are you agree that science and certain religion could be reconciled?

I have read about many religions and many great representatives of said religions. Funny enough the most inspirational religious figure I read about is a fictional(aren't they all?) character from a tabletop game called Warhammer 40.000. The Emperor of Mankind brought "a rationalist, atheistic faith in science and technological progress that rejected all the vestiges of human irrationality and superstition, including all forms of religious faith." (The Emperor Himself declared that Mankind would never be free to progress and advance to its destined position as the pre-eminent intelligent species in the Milky Way Galaxy until "the last stone from the last …

I wanted to quickly share how an atheist such as Sam Harris, could validly express that a form of God is possible, and likely inevitable, all while still being an atheist. Consider the following; especially item (3): (1) I am an atheist. (2) Beyond atheism, I lack belief in all things, and so I had come to invent a paradigm called 'non-beliefism'; so not surprisingly, I lack belief in all things, including God or Gods, as Sam Harris likewise demonstrates. (3) God is observable in a scientific context, see source. As such, "God" as observable in the scientific context presented, is compatible with atheism. See minute 14:11 in the f…

Why does the Catholic Church say that Mary was virgin? For two reasons: First, for the church does not divide its resources (marriage, divorce, etc.), and second, because priests believed that the sex was dirty. Maria was mother and had sex like any woman. Even Jesus had several brothers.

The word daemon comes from the greek daimon (δαίμων) and can mean "spirit" or "divinity". The Catholic Church has inherited much of Greco-Roman paganism, in epoch, to please the new followers. With the Councils there was much adaptation. And the word demon meant the supreme leader of evil. Well, in the Middle Ages this idea was used to dominate the faithful by fear, for the same pay the tithe. The only supreme leader is God.

While the Noble Eightfold Path is best-known in the west, a wide variety of practices and stages have been used and described in the Buddhist traditions. Basic practices include sila (ethics), samadhi (meditation, dhyana) and prajna (wisdom), as described in the Noble Eightfold Path. An important additional practice is a kind and compassionate attitude toward every living being and the world. Devotion is also important in some Buddhist traditions, and in the Tibetan traditions visualizations of deities and mandalas are important. The value of textual study is regarded differently in the various Buddhist traditions. It is central to Theravada and highly important to Tibeta…

Almost every single person I went to high school with is more intellectually-gifted, more educated, and all-around smarter than myself. I was an idiot in school. I slept in class, never did my work, bombed the tests, and everyone thought I was a total moron. I remember being in science and math classes with all my smart religious peers. Their religiosity cannot be the result of low intelligence. If intelligence level was the metric for how religious or non-religious a person is, then I should be a deeply, devoutly religious person. Most of the people I'm referring to now mostly have at least a master's degree education and most of them are professionals. Our class valedic…

What are the major reasons for why so many non-Muslims look down on the Muslims of today?

At what point does a person actually die? That depends on who you ask. To one person, it's the moment the heart stops beating. To another, it's when the brain enters a "vegetative" state. But a heart can be forced to keep beating; and how dead is a person, really, if she can continue to grow, develop, and even give birth after experiencing "brain death"? In search of answers, we turned to Dick Teresi. A seasoned science writer and the former editor of Science Digest and Omni, Teresi has spent the last ten years researching and writing about the science behind the line that separates life and death. He has recounted his findings and experiences in his new book, The Undead…

The flat earth societies of the world come up with elaborate mathematical models to prove the earth is flat for mischief, pseudoscience or religious reasons. Is the Big Bang theory based on a mathematically gifted catholic priests desire to prove there is a beginning of time and everything. Given a point of time in the here and now and some known facts, is it not possible to conjure up any number of curve fits that would come through the known facts, one of which could be a beginning of time. Space is constantly expanding(being created) and contracting(going out of existence) between galaxies and into black holes, Is the concept of a finite universe that c…

Everybody does what he or she can or what his or her understanding (culture, knowledge, education, experiences, age) allows him or her... At the end of all, it's the only true about human behaviour. The absence of evil in the planet. Universe does not created the evil. Only the chemical possibilities and diseases of human brain. Or not? This applies in collective sense, depending on their leader or lesders. His/her/their understanding. Nobody is bad by itself. But remember to protect yourself a bit of excessive fools...

The cube , the electro magnetism , The mosquito like propulsion of electro magnetic waves , the spectrum , the seven colors .Looks a bit like science to me .

We are only an effect of Chemistry, but we already "included" or "foreseen" in its laws since the beginning, when they were created. If they have also appeared alone and included us, they have a lot merit! Or not?

The devil has influenced all aspect of our world today. What is your respond to this?
