Religion is literally the opposite of Science. Religion is 100% made up. (Do we still build temples to Zeus? no). Science is evidence based. Religion is used to 'explain' all the things (wrongly) that Science eventually figured out. The closest thing you will ever find to god is the Sun, without it we perish. Also, it was the original worshiped 'god'. Just food for thought.
Lucky for me, I’m still part of a religion that worships the sun. We are finally vindicated! /s
I guess that depends on whether you accept the existence of other sun gods.
The solar energy is One, my child. /s
One of the hottest and brightest religions!
Meet hot bright religions around you!
That's like asking someone who likes apples if they'd accept a pomme, apfel, manzana, or яблоко.
I think it's more like asking an apple fan if they believe other fruits exist?
Not really, there are lots of gods, sun gods are a specific subset. Different "sun gods" are just different names and attributions to the sun, like different languages have different names for apples.
Science is sometimes used like religion. We called it "Proof by Authority". Thank goodness for science having testability requirements to show the authority is a fool.
We don't know the first God, Trees are just as likely for instance l, they're nigh immortal, feed your family, and provides shelter
I think you're mixing up primitive mysticisms and the modern variants of religion. There are, actually, some things both science and christianity struggle to explain. Of course, both say they do, but a fool-proof argument isn't readily available. If you're open to it, approaching the fine-tuning argument from both the atheist and theistic perspectives is extremely interesting. Both have very good points.
I mean this in the most respectful way possible, but is there something you can name that religion does explain without relying on faith of some kind? I would never claim science has all the answers, but if I'm going to attempt to take religion seriously it has to start by giving at least a single answer.
Science does not have all the answers. We utilize Science to find answers, with valid evidence, to the questions we have. Religion just makes up stories to explain things that are actually untrue. Science is doing the work to get a true answer. Religion is just a 'feeling'.
I don't disagree.
Well, no. Religion is nothing without faith. You have to be personally called to that faith in order to be able to explain things to yourself in a religious manner. I'll recommend this video, though.
Thanks, I'll check it out later tonight.
