+lxmzhg: Hey, aren't you that homeopathy guy who doesn't know the meaning of evidence?

+BTIsaac: Those are beautiful ideas but I ask myself how much of an effect will it have? Teaching science properly in schools? Sure, I am 100% all for that and even more should be tough. Quite a bit more detail should be though about why the Earth is 4.56 billion years old, how they arrived at that conclusion, etc. Having classes that teach skepticism, rationality would be great. It should be done in philosophy classes. This is done in Canada at the high school level. Finally, a class that talks about the bits of the koran and bible that the preacher avoids. The really ugly stuff. The hate. Hate misogyny. ^^^^^^^^^^^Of course, a lot of parents would go into ANGRY PROTEST MODE. On the other hand, the internet serves as a teaching tool. How many people have learned the ugliness and silliness of scientology? You can bet those people won't ever go for the "free test" scam. How many people have learned how silly mormonism is? I hear that the new generation is dumping it quickly. I am talking to an oldy mormon right now. He says I am an idiot. He says "No wonder you are an atheist". He is so arrogant, it is delightful to watch.

+BTIsaac: "You are using nieche sects to prove that religion is in decline? Excuse me? Excuse me? We need to be discussing MAINSTREAM CHRISTIANITY, not some fringe cult nobody cares about." ==Mormonism is pretty big in the USA. They claim they have 10, 12 or 14 million people I think. Then, you have the creationist bunch (yec), which isn't clear to me which church it is. I guess multiple USA christian sects are young earth creationists (yec). Some statistics say that 46 to 49% of united statians are yec. In Canada, there are plenty of catholics but the yec bunch seem to be very minor and concentrated in Alberta. I don't know the details for other countries. "We need to be discussing MAINSTREAM CHRISTIANITY" ==Which one is the mainstream one? Do you mean catholics and orthodox? "Ever heard the term "cultural christianity"?" ==Yes but I don't know what it means. "Ever heard of Jordan Peterson?" ==No. Is this the guy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_Peterson "We need a MASSIVE anti christian campaign right about now." ==Perhaps but there are other things besides christianity. My friend talked to me about shows like Paranormal and 3 others and he is convinced that the stuff that they present is real. He talked about Faul Mcartmey (the concept that Paul Mcartney from the Beatles is dead and William Shear took his place and it has been a massive cover up since 1966). He showed me videos about possible time travelers. There is an overall problem of people being gullible and not asking enough questions and not asking "Well, what are your sources? How reliable are those sources?".

I got pumped up as well. I was running down the street, turning cars on their tops and knocking down light polls by kicking them.

+Dominika Krásenská: "It is, of course, corrosive to creationism" ==If you investigate a few of the ancient religions, they all basically say "the gods made this and the gods made that.". So, quite a lot of religions are of the creationism variety and modern science blows them all up. "I don't see any problem in believing in a personal God as well as acknowledging the evolution at the same time." ==So, what does this personal god do? Did it create humans? "I agree that the existence of God doesn't fully explain how the nature works and the origin of everything." ==All it does is say "god did it". That doesn't qualify as an explanation. I could say a watchmaker makes a watch or clouds form in the sky. HUGE amounts of detail is missing. "God isn't something that I came up with in order to explain everything I don't understand yet." ==That's nice but for ancient religions, that's the purpose of god. It is a hole filler for gaps in our knowledge. "There are a few parts of a human; a physical, an intellectual, an emotional and a spiritual part." ==What is a spiritual part and why am I not aware of this one?

+Caden McDonough: "Darwinism is a system that doesnt require a god to function thats why its corrosive." ==1. It is not called Darwinism. It is called Evolution Theory. 2. In science, the person who makes the discovery is not important and in fact, Charles Darwin is not the only discoverer in this case. It was a collaborative effort. He sourced a lot of material from others and compiled a book. For example, someone named Alfred who didn't have a formal scientific training, contributed what he had documented. 3. If these guys had not discovered it, then someone else would have. This is because science is an open system. Also, they are all Europeans because Europeans were advanced in the sciences while the rest of the world was stuck in the bronze age. Notice how jews in Israel never made any discoveries. They were stuck in the bronze age as well along with the turks. 4. There is no god mentioned in anything scientific. The reason for that is that it is a waste of time to say "god did this or god did not". It leads to nowhere. Also, which god are you going to put in a scientific paper? 5. In religion, there is always a main guy. The big cheese. The master leader. The believers place a huge value into the "master leader". In the case of christianity, the master leader is Jesus. When the leader dies, the followers spin various stories and eventually they disagree and split up. This is why there are 37,000 different christian sects. 6. The "gospels" was just some scribling on various goat skins using insect juice. That is exactly what I would expect as an atheist. 7. There were multiple christian sects right from the 1st century. We can see the evidence in the bible itself. There are 4 gospels and they can't get their stories straight. This is an indication that parts of it are simply made up. 8. The bible was written in koin greek. What the heck? Why isn't it in hebrew? 8. The bible was compiled by europeans in the 4th century. An incredibly large amount of time had past.Howcome? Where are Jesus's stuff? Where is this guy's family? Where are his cloths, his tomb, his writings? It is very bizarre that someone who is suppose to be a son of a god leaves no evidence behind except for "ink on paper" written by unknown authors.

+Mysteryskatin: "Atheists cannot disprove God." ==There are a lot of things that me and you can't prove to not exist, such as smurfs, leprechauns and other magical things. I can't even prove that I don't have a sister. In order to prove the existence of something physical, you need evidence. If you claim that all gods are non physical, then they don't exist. If you think about it, numbers, names, words, ideas, software (Windows XP) don't exist either. They can only "exist" if there is a physical (atoms/molecules/energy) representation of them. Yes, I have a CD with Windows XP on it. Do you think that this plastic is really Windows XP?

+Mesafint Fanuel: "Well there is the christian religion and the christian holy book. Isn't that an evidence of God who intervenes in you affairs by preparing a book for you to understand his will" ==It is more likely that christianity is just another religion among thousands of other religions. The bible hasn't been written by any god. Ancient people wrote it with their primitive writing tools. They used insect juice on goat skin or something. The bible is also an edited piece of work. Europeans from the 4th century decided to compose a bible. They gathered the various bits from the various sects. They decided to have a single sect called catholicism. They debated pretty long as to what Jesus is : Is a he a god or is he the son of god? They decided to keep some things and not include certain things in the bible. Some parts are even suspected of being forgeries. "You can only say you have disproved God after exhausting the two ways he said to have proved himself" ==Oh boy. The education system sucks or you are home schooled by a clown. Learn what constitutes as evidence. Try to force yourself and read what I wrote above.

+Mesafint Fanuel: "First of all you atheists should remove the notion "thousands of other religions from your minds" because the reality on the ground is that there are only three type of worship places in you neighborhoods christian church, Islamic mosque(few in number), and Hindu temple(highly unlikely)." ==What is or is not in my current neighborhood or in my current century is irrelevant. The fact is that there are hundreds of cultures and probably thousands of religions have popped up and disappeared. The fact that most of them have died out doesn't change the reality that religions and gods can be invented by mere humans. "Most of you don't take Hindus or budhist seriously they are not in your sphere of existence so we are left with three to investigate" ==FACT1: I don't know those 2 religions in detail. FACT2: Those 2 religions are not a problem for prime countries like USA, Canada, Europe, Russia, Australia. Do you think if I read their books cover to cover, it would change my mind? FACT : Nope. Ink on paper doesn't convince me specially when it is just a religion. "You are supposed to go "read" what it says and then say that the bible is a forgery" ==Ok, I have read it. And? What is the point you are trying to make? You should read the bible plus read some books written by atheists such as Richard Carrier. These are the guys who notice the problems with the bible, the koran, "You are mistaken the bible itself says that its contents are written by "Holy men" inspired by the spirit of God." ==How difficult is it to write that? "If you think this people are not "Holy" men then it up to you to prove to me that they are not holy men but forgerers" ==FACT1: There are mistakes in the bible. (Bats aren't birds. Rabbits don't chew the cud. Insects don't have 4 legs) FACT2: The genesis story and flood story is invalidated by modern science. FACT3: conflicting info in the bible. FACT4: Why would holy men write the bible and not "the god"? OK, not really a fact but a pretty good question. Ok, so go ahead and prove to me that the bible is written by holy men. "Every bible reading christian will tell you this. So you are claiming that this is not paul's letters but forgeries in the name of Paul?" ==No. I said no such thing. You really should re-read what I wrote. "I am sure you will say it is upto me to prove Gods existence to which I say ok the proof is the BIBLE." ==It would not be fair for me to ask you that since I know that you can't provide any evidence. "For instance the evidence of potassium-argon dating of a rock presently says one scientist that an asteroid hit the earth and wiped out the dinosaurs" ==I have not heard of such a thing. Show me the white paper. K-Ar dating is used to date rocks. It gives no indication about an asteroid hit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%E2%80%93Ar_dating Also, it is believed that the majority of the Ar40 in our atmosphere is a result of K40 decay. This would explain why 99.6% of the Ar is Ar40 on Earth while on Mars, there is far more Ar36 which is the nuclide that is most likely to form during nucleosynthesis. Evidence 1: The reason why they think a major asteroid strike occurred is because of the presence of a layer of age 65 My that is an unusually high with iridium. This layer appears all across the planet. Evidence 2: Chicxulub has a major crater. Source: https://www.livescience.com/60898-asteroid-struck-unlucky-spot-doomed-dinosaurs.html

+CJ Hunt: I have a family member who is schizophrenic. He kept it secret for a long while but he was obviously behaving oddly. He was losing a lot of weight. When we spoke to him, it was as if he didn't hear us. Sometimes, he sits for hours and doesn't move at all. Eventually, he told us that Jesus and Mary are speaking to him. He said the world is going to end in 2014. The nightmarish stuff he was seeing had messed him up. He was afraid, etc. He told that stuff to us in Jan 2011, so obviously, time marches on and 2014 came and went. Schizophrenia and religion is a dangerous mix. He is better now.

@kit walker : "you are right. There are many more views that are popping up every day... Apart from christianity. And science have to look into too. Because it is the little ones that effect the society the most. Like in the case with extreme femanist views." ==What do you expect scientists to do about extreme feminist views? What kind of scientist are you talking about?
