Also, just because we don’t currently have a scientific explanation for something, doesn’t mean “because god” is the only possible answer.
FlyingGiantElk
God of the manufactured gaps. When someone filled the gap in knowledge, so you make another one to perpetuate false but comforting beliefs.
arkadun
And too often it goes "I dont understand the science so its god"
Wrenfield
For some reason the idea that religiously motivated people misspell everything in comparison to logical thinkers seems totally appropriate.
ChickenROAR
"Because God" is a lazy cop out bitch move. Learn something rather than be willfully ignorant.

"Can your 'science' explain why it rains?" YES! It CAN!
Blacktusk
Science explains how rain happens, not, like, *why* rain happens, man.

Oh, I get that she doesn’t understand those differences- that’s why I found her mistake ironic.

Essentially they said that contextually the their was symbolising her "god" or something, where in reality it was just a mistake

If there is a God, he/she/it has a lot to answer for.
youcantgiveAbabybooze
If there is a god, what is the point of a sunset? Does he expect a pretty sky at night will distract us from him being an absolute dick?
Devolv3
God of the Gaps. When science can't explain, god steps in. When Science explains God moves to another gap.

What a bizarre question
WhollyOriginalUsername
Jfc... Science tells you HOW, religion/philosophy tells you WHY. Anything else is a loser's game
Mandaglorian
That’s bs. Science can tell us why better than some old fairytale.
WhollyOriginalUsername
Please expand on that. When I say why I mean as "why does the sun shine". Science can tell us all about the mechanisms 1/2
WhollyOriginalUsername
And I said philosophy, not just religion.
WhollyOriginalUsername
2/2 and how it was formed, but as to the deeper why, the answer just isn't there IF you need an answer

Remember when Christian's would ask those questions and become scientists to find out? I miss those Christian's..

There's plenty of those still. There's also still a lot of idiots.

It almost feels like they're playing mad libs. "If there's no god, how do you explain Dunkin' Donuts? Checkmate, atheists."
rubypilgrim
well that's a valid argument. :) *checks Bible for reference to Dunkin' Donuts - aHA! Leviticus 7:12 to the rescue! When you sacrifice...
rubypilgrim
an animal for thanksgiving, you're supposed to offer up some doughnuts with it. Where better to get those doughnuts than DD?
rubypilgrim
"If you offer it as a thank offering, you must also bring rings of unleavened bread mixed with olive oil..."
rubypilgrim
of course atheists can be just as grateful for a Dunkin' Donut doughnut as anyone else. They just don't have to kill an animal over it.
rubypilgrim
sometimes a doughnut is just a doughnut
euphoricopportunity
They seem to think that our capacity to have an emotional reaction to something is evidence of God - and that if we don't draw that (1/2)
euphoricopportunity
conclusion, we're somehow incomplete or that we don't have a proper emotional capacity. Like the people who claim Beethoven as evidence. 2/2

Genesis: 9:13-17 God makes rainbow as covenant that never again will He destroy the earth with flood. However, He said nothing about fire,

pestilence, or stupidity. Also not a particularly dependable God. Def not one that gets my worship.
Tminus1622d
That's the rainbow. That's not the sunset or sunrise. He isnt cranking a wheel or moving stuff around, that's in other religions.
littlegraycellsmonami
Or..God created science.

Thiests could give up so many losing battles, like the one against evolution. Just slap a "god did it on there". Even doctrines can evolve.

The real scary thing is science answered a lot of this shyt centuries ago. And people wonder why we can’t keep up in the STEM fields.

Richter12x2
If matter can't be created or destroyed, what went bang during the big bang, and how did it get there?
Khargath
At one point in time all of matter was superfinitely dense ball of matter. After an indeterminate amount of time, it become unstable and -
Richter12x2
How did the matter get there without being created? Why was it dense? How did it become unstable?
Khargath
Exploded outward at insane speeds. Matter doesn't like to touch at an atomic level so when it became unstable the reaction was violent.
Richter12x2
Why doesn't matter like to touch at the atomic level? What made it that way? Doesn't that oppose gravity? /1
Richter12x2
Why did the universe include a force that opposes gravity?

I have the perfect joke reply to this, but this is not the time. Seriously, people need to just accept the science.
LarryR1
Please do tell.
cappygold
No people need to be aware of correct science and work to ensure it is accurate and up to date. science isn't perfect, but ignoring it=bad
LordNergal
I would argue that is accepting the science. But, you do have a good point.
tehmatser
Blindly accepting science is just as bad as saying god did everything
Timbagged
The thing about science though is once it’s proven wrong, we tend to go with the new answer.
HenryLongfellowIII
True but stuff that's been accepted for hundreds of years is a waste of your time to dispute.
CeterumCenseo
Why? If you can actually dispute some of the big theories, you can be sure to win the Nobel Prize. It's also generally easier to disprove >1
CeterumCenseo
1>2 something than to prove something (which is why there are very few laws in physics but mostly theories). >2
tehmatser
It depends though because finding flaws in something that has been accepted for years can lead to huge breakthroughs
HenryLongfellowIII
The flaws are typically at the extreme applications of accepted orthodoxy (eg. Quantum theory) rather than existing theory being just wrong.

Richter12x2
Why do people think science proves there is no God? Everything behaving logically is a pretty strong argument FOR intelligent design.
BigFatBobbie
Gods do not need to be unproven. Gods need to be proven. Until they are, the logical belief is they are not real. If things behaving >
BigFatBobbie
logically proved gods. Anything seemingly illogical would just as easily disprove them.
Richter12x2
So your argument is that through random chaos everything just achieved confluence and somehow made perfect sense. What is entropy then?
BigFatBobbie
I did not say everything made perfect sense. I am not entirely sure what entropy is-thermal energy levels. It is randomness in the universe.
Richter12x2
We know about gravity, cool. How did gravity come from the Big Bang? Expansion is counter to gravity. Why does it exist?

A parable: I play guitar, and I like Green Day. I can play pretty much all of their songs, am I as good a musician as Green Day?
Richter12x2
I came along after, and saw what they did and liked it and I can take it apart and go 'Thats amazing, I see why that works the way it does'
BigFatBobbie
If you can play all of the songs they can play then sure, you've reached their skill level. That is true if they all shared one skill level.
Richter12x2
Gods have never needed to be proven, that's pretty much counter to the point.
BigFatBobbie
If gods never needed to be proven, they never needed to be believed. Any rational god would never expect anyone to believe in him without
BigFatBobbie
proof.
Richter12x2
What makes you think God needs us to believe in him? That's a pop culture idea, I'm pretty sure.
