WHEN reading about science, it is not unusual to come across
religious expressions. For example, scientists have been referred to
as "the high priests of a new technological culture," and their
laboratories as "temples" or "shrines." Of course, such expressions
are merely metaphors. However, they can lead to this important
question: Is there really a gulf dividing science from religion?
Some may feel that the more scientists learn, the further they get
from any belief in God. It is true there are many in the scientific
community who scorn religious faith. But a significant number of
others find themselves deeply impressed by the evidence pointing to
design in the natural world around us. Other scientists wonder about
more than design; they begin to think about the Designer.
Yes but it's only about 100 IQ points wide and 2000 years old
Now there is a cite that is well worth _ignoring_.
Harry K
Can such scientists be dismissed as naive? Reporting on scientists
who believe that intelligent design is responsible for our cosmos and
life in it, a book review in The New York Times comments: "They have
Ph.D.'s and occupy positions at some of the better universities. The
case they make against Darwinism does not rest on the authority of
Scripture; rather, it proceeds from premises that are scientific."
T he same article also notes that proponents of intelligent design "do
not stake any obviously foolish claims. . . . What they deny is that
the standard Darwinian theory, or any other 'naturalistic' theory that
confines itself to mindless, mechanical causes operating gradually
over time, suffices to explain the whole of life. The biological
world, they contend, is rife with evidence of intelligent design—
evidence that points with near certainty to the intervention of an
Intelligent Designer."*
Such conclusions are surprisingly common among scientists. For
example, a study released in 1997 revealed that 4 in 10 U.S.
scientists believed in a personal God. That ratio had remained
virtually unchanged since 1914, when a similar survey was made.
Understandably, in countries where a more secular spirit prevails,
such as those in Europe, the ratio is lower. Yet, the British
newspaper The Guardian reported that "the level of belief is highest
among practitioners of the hard sciences, such as physics and geology,
lower for the soft sciences, such as anthropology." It added: "The UK
has organisations such as Christians in Science." The paper also noted
that in Great Britain "church attendance among science students is
proportionally much higher than for the arts."
Still, it does seem that the majority of scientists scoff at the idea
of a Creator. Such disdain exerts powerful peer pressure. Astronomer
Allan Sandage observes that "there is a reluctance to reveal yourself
as a believer." Why? "The opprobrium," he says—the disapproval and
censure from colleagues—"is so severe."
As a result, the scientists who dare to suggest that science is not
necessarily at odds with belief in a Creator find that their voices
are drowned out by more skeptical views. The following articles will
focus on these often-ignored voices and on why these scientists feel
as they do. How, though, are you personally affected? Can science help
you to find God?
You preach a religion that is completely unsupported by any evidence.
The scientists that believe in god get the office
at the FAR end of the hall.
Personally, I don't give a fuck if you believe in
god, ufos, bigfoot or Tinkerbelle...Just keep your
bitch mouth shut about it or be labeled a kook.
Fair enough?

The thing is that to do honest science one must eliminate attention to
the supernatural, as science is only about natural things.
And science is highly successful in working out how nature operates.
While it many well be unscientific to believe in a god, it is not
antiscientific. Some eminent scientists do, some don't.
But there are those who are anti-science , like creationists, who reject
science because of their religion.

I am not a creationist, Of course After I say this The erternal JW

In my case I don't reject science. I do believe in Aliens, higher life
forms and advanced civilizations.
Congratulations... You're a kook!
enough to know, abiogenesis does not pass the scientific method.
based on what criteria? yours?
One has either that life has co-existed with the universe, or that it
started after the universe was in existence.
The latter is abiogenesis.
--
Interesting concept, but if life stated with the universe wouldn't it
still be abiogenesis.
Such "Genesis" would presume that the universe actually had a beginning,
which is not yet absolutely certain.
--
Abiogenesis is known to have happened at least once. Life is here
currently and thus it happened. Whether "goddidit" or "nature didit"
it is still abiogenesis (life from non-life). How it happened is not
yet known but the current hypothesis (note it is not yet a scientific
theory) is closing in on it.
BTW before you get in deeper: the ToE has ab zero to do with
abiogenesis. the ToE only discusses how life developed AFTER IT
BEGAN.
In a bit over 150 years there has been not one serious challenge to
Darwins theory as it has been developed over the years.
Harry K
Okay, so you are a kook but not a creationist kook. Believing in such
things without any evidence is still nonsense.
Harry K
Based on sanity.

Thanks for admitting that science makes shit up and does not know for certain WTF happened
"in the beginning".
However, people that believe in God know. They know exactly what happened "in the

Your use of the word "know" is at variance with all of the normal
meanings of the word.
Lots of scientists believe in god. None of them that have any respect
use their faith and/or the bible when "doing science".

They do? Then why haven't they provided the irrefutable scientific evidence
for what they "believe" happened? Why do they simply waggle their bible in

Facts are facts and evidence and the working model rules
Stomp. It's a work of love and devotion to deduce the Universe to try
to close the field without sci fi and hopefully get a model that like
Officer Bert states, " Works " or " Fits ". The Profound Earth Science
Team Officers have it, it's called " The Unitied Field Theory " not to
be confused with TOE or the Theory of Everything which is pure sci fi.
There is no God Particle, there is the humble Officer nightbat the
closest to perfection in theoritical and applied advanced science as
you can get. A person which invents or creates is considered by many a
God, but that is so overdone. No one person can know everything for
even referenced religious God does not know evil. He is aware of evil
and it's works but evil is non good logic handling therefore alien to
a perfect logical good all knowing God. It's tricky, a paradox which
science is filled with mathematically, including logic perceptions
inquiries, or reserved observations. There are different schools of
present logic based views because of our limited horizon, existence,
and fleeting evidence that is many times skewed. A perfect unbiased
mind is worthy of achievement, but who can really claim it except the
mind of a perfect religious God.
Presently the very best applied mental humans use only a fraction of
their brain capacity for remember we are babies genetically and
physically. There are much more physically advanced species like the
whales that have been around longer then man. The brains of lower
animals however has not developed as far as man because each species
through evolution has chosen other physical attributes over pure
mental power. This understanding presents problems for scientists
because the subject is covered and explained in religious historical
texts. The schools of Creationists (designer based) versus Natural
Selection. Darwin as paradox referenced rejected his own original
Natural Selection model as non proveable therefore scientificlly
technically undefendable. Portions fit without closure, therefore it
is taught along with faith based Creationist model.
Scientist's and researchers search for missing pieces therefore
science presently is not an exact art. There is no magic bullet to
explain all therefore it's a work in progress. It is easy to say well
have faith it's only for God to know everything however the
intelligent mind of man is different, it searches for the truth.
Scientist's use the tools of math and applied logic and observation
inquiry to try to understand the Universe around him. A good
researcher therefore is an unbiased one as best as possible. And
remember the clock's back (Universe)is not open relative or in the
quantum for ease of total inspection. Which school is right is not
really a proper question for science is the search for the truth,
while religion does not question what is not known for it is biased in
favor of so called all knowing designer.
Profound scientist's and researchers try to lift the veil of internal
theoritical workings of " what is " and have a formidable task because
of the immensity of the Universe. The limited knowledge base,
paradoxes, secret micro quantum, and short human life span doesn't
help either. Truth doesn't come easy, even after years of inquiry, you
may be no closer then when you first started, however " Chance favors
the prepared mind " ( Pasteur). So does science inquiry lead to
designer based Universe only when the odds point that way and you stop
searching for the real truth. Remember when everything was blamed on
God now we know there are fundamental laws to the physical world
around us, and a God can't be blamed for everything we don't know or
understand. When the Pacific Islanders during World War Two first saw
western flyers they thought they were Gods.
Many have even asked is the nightbat and Science Officers God because
of our profound inventions, theories, paradox solutions, energy
solution, and help to the coffee boys, I for one am just a regular joe
that rides the bus like the rest of us. The question asked is what if
God was one of us, rides the bus like the rest of us, would you know?
Science and religion don't mix the former is evidenced based the
latter is faith based.

People use their religion as an EXCUSE to kill each other, Bert. If
you take God out of the picture, they just find something else upon
which to base their hatred and violence.
Territory. The gain of more territory. Especially prime territory
that has lots and lots of things they can use and sell. That's the
usual underlying reason why people as nations kill each other. God is
just a handy scapegoat.
Even though you said you weren't getting involved, the following is
Carol stalking Jabriol yet again using a new alias or nym. Look at the
original subject of the header and follow the thread. Her comments here
are off topic.
Now just sit for a moment and think this through , you being a Born
Again Pagan, and now you had Bob Larson following you all over Usenet
calling you a child killer *"because that is what Pagans do"* on every
news group you go to, including groups that has nothing to do with Wicca
and such, How would you feel? What would you do?
You go to alt.home shopping group to inquire the price of a blender
And Bob Larson using a re-mailers x-archive-no writes: "Moe's Son suck
goat pricks as a rite for excellent health" all pagans do!!! stay away
from Pagans and don't do business with this child abuser!!!
and them spread those lies using re-mailers and such until Guy like
Vance comes around and say..."Moe, Carol lives here, and here an ISP
report of him downloading porn"
What would you do?
As I said the following is what Carol been doing to Jabriol for years. I
showed something similar to Kent, and he remsains quiet on the subject
and then lies and say " I did reply", he did not.
So Moe, even though you are not getting involved, but you are, see the
big picture?
A shame Kent did drag you into this.

To answer your question about the gulf between science and religion,
there are scientists who would like God to exist, so they believe in
God. The basic job of a scientist is to unveil the secrets of Nature,
and God is still one of those secrets. There was a time when nobody
seriously believed that man would ever fly, and now here we are,
burning up our frequent-flyer miles. It was once seriously believed
that the Moon was made of cheese, and that the maria were huge lakes
of water. Science has discovered new things and disproved old
beliefs.
We can thank science for heating and air-conditioning, as well has
much healthier foods to eat and water to drink. We can thank religion
for helping us find ways to kill each other. It has come to the point
where one must separate "religion" and "God". Have you ever known
scientists to kill each other over their different beliefs? So there
is definitely a gulf between science and religion, and like the
separation of "Church" and "State", the wider it remains, the better
for us all.

Sigourney Weaver in...

Linda Hamilton in...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Terminator
and anything with Jodi Foster in it.
So my guess is... I'm going to really LIKE Hit girl!

You two have a big suprise in store
Well. If you cannot refute it you can always stick your fingers in your ears.
There's nothing to refute. Newton's beliefs wouldn't be recognizable
by any modern christian. He was a deist, specifically, a Socinian.
He didn't believe in a personal god that meddled in creation. Go look
it up, [M]Addy.
Brenda Nelson, A.A.#34

And Newton was a weird kind of deist, anyway (not a theist). He was a
Socinian. Weird stuff, especially if one is a believer in orthodox
trinitarianism.
Like telling a kid to be good or the monster will get him.
Grow up, fuckface.
PS- Please pray to god to improve your spelling.
There's another thing about this tactic (DEZE GRATE SCIUNTIZ WUZ
BEELEVERZS!!) that almost no one ever seems to mention.
Isaac Newton lived over 250 years ago. Most of the historical and
archeological work that proves Judaism and Christianity are
mythological has been done in the last 100 years. Do these clowns
actually think that if such great minds had been allowed to know what
is known to modern humans that they would have all remained theists?
I'm sure some of them would have (as the modern sample of scientists
show), but I really think it's a bad argument.
Not to mention it commits the fallacy of argument from authority in
the first place.
Isaac Newton (1642-1727)
In optics, mechanics, and mathematics, Newton was a figure of undisputed genius and
innovation. In all his science (including chemistry) he saw mathematics and numbers as
central. What is less well known is that he was devoutly religious and saw numbers as
involved in understanding God's plan for history from the Bible. He did a considerable
work on biblical numerology, and, though aspects of his beliefs were not orthodox, he
thought theology was very important. In his system of physics, God is essential to the
nature and absoluteness of space. In Principia he stated, "The most beautiful system of
the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an
intelligent and powerful Being."
http://www.godandscience.org/apologetics/sciencefaith.html
Newton wrote a number of religious tracts dealing with the literal interpretation of the
Bible, as he considered himself to be one of a select group of individuals who were
specially chosen by God for the task of understanding Biblical scripture.[1] Newton's
conception of the physical world provided a stable model of the natural world that would
reinforce stability and harmony in the civic world. Newton saw a monotheistic God as the
masterful creator whose existence could not be denied in the face of the grandeur of all
creation.[2][3]

I'd rather it was stuck up your worthless ass.
You keep saying that but never offer a shred of evidence that you have
any reason to make that claim. Your hubris is stunning. You need to stop
worshipping yourself.
The problem with offering an indirect reference like bit.ly or tinyurl
is that it can hide anything, from a valid reference to a rickroll to
some really nasty websites that attack users. It can be handy to offer a
shortened address as an alternative, but only if you offer the real
address as well.
Life is sufficient evidence that life started.
It has certainly gotten unscientific to believe in your government,
because you can't hardly tell one obfuscation or lie from any other
obfuscation or lie. I mean, how bad off could God actually be, unless
we're talking satanic Zionism.

We do not have t refute what you have never been able to establish:
It is lack of any objective physical evidence FOR any proposed
god-creator, along with lack of any objective physical evidence for the
superiority of any one such proposed god-creator over any other proposed
god-creator that justifies our lack of belief in gods/creators in
general and, even more, lack of belief in your specific god/creator in
particular.

In his time, publicly questioning the church could get one in deep shit,
but ini spite of the dangers, he dabbled extensively in the forbidden
art of alchemy.

The presence of life is only evidence for the presence of life. Life
is evidence that life started only for those who accept that
everything must have a beginning. There is no hard evidence that
everything must have a beginning. In the absence of evidence, your
statement requires an article of faith.

Interesting, HyperVAC... I don't recall mentioning anything "sexual",
so I find it rather engaging that you would garner that specific type
of "fantasy" from what I wrote. Somewhat Shakespearesque, n'est-ce
pas? or perhaps Freudian? <<<g>>>
The big bang was the beginning.
How stupid of me to misinterpret......
" Far be it from me to be completely disgusted with you and your
fantasies about a little, purple-haired girl who kicks ass."
Or perhaps it's YOU being disingenuous?
Good point but your proposed solution wouldn't help. A devious bastard
could provide a short link to a malicious site and also list the actual
URL to a relevant site.
I generally opt for the tiny URL preview option. Clinking the link
brings up the tinyurl site where the actual link is displayed. One more
click takes you there.
If Newton was alive today, the current science Cabal would have
labeled him a kook.
What God's do. I will ask him one day.
Can you blame him? You called him a Prick. Some people don't take name
calling well

So your god is both childish and petty?
Nice.
I guess it's better than the god of the bible who was
murderous and cruel as well as childish and petty.
Excellent. Stick your fingers in your ears and yell
"na na na na na" every time a question comes up that
challenges your faith.
PS- Be sure to ask god why he was such a pussy that he sent
his son to hang on the cross instead of taking the hit himself.
And they get laugh at.

No, Antonio L. Santana, they would not. Newton is remembered for his
mathematical genius, not his bumbling, idiotic religious beliefs which he kept
in complete secrecy. Scientists today are gauged by their contributions to
science, regardless of their religious beliefs which is simply a personal choice
which cannot be objectively studied or proven.
There is evidence that life could not have existed in the early eons of
the universe. That is evidence that life must have started.
Does that work for bit.ly?
Life can take many forms, some tougher than others. If the Universe
has always been, which is more likely, then life has always existed,
too.
