Thank you Barend. I have to ask though: In what way does religion evolve other than merely reinterpreting scripture?

Personally I don’t find the debates about science and religion pointless. If these debates are […]

My exact words were “close to reaching the limits of many of the technologies we currently use to explore our universe”. I said nothing about knowledge. An electron microscope, for example, can only be used to […]

I disagree. Though there is much we as a species do not understand, those things you call “theories” are more than just myth. They describe observable phenomena, and predict results with enough accuracy to be […]

Lol, now you’re just playing word games. Of course the laws of physics operate the same across this universe, but that’s no guarantee that they are the same in other universes (if they exist). And if the big bang […]

I disagree. I don’t think there is a prime mover at all, and all scripture describes is the evolution of the human mind. Morality, I feel, is the result of the evolution of consciousness in parallel with our […]

Exactly. But if viewed in that sense, Grimm’s Fairy tales would be more fitting, as the values imparted are more inline with modern morality. If scripture truly is completely allegorical then it holds virtually no […]

I wouldn’t even go that far. I’d say they were merely chroniclers of existing thoughts who got a little creative with the facts.

Actually, no I didn’t. It is you that insist on giving “God” a place in the equation. My point of view is that “God” shouldn’t even be mentioned.

And I strongly disagree with your comparison of x=God=Big Bang. […]

Lol… That sounds vaguely familiar…

I don’t blame you. I do so myself quite often. Its relevance to what I wrote confused me though.

I agree. Scripture has played a big role as a moral compass to western civilization. What I don’t agree with is […]

Ah, and you see, therein lies the rub. It’s not up to me to define “GOD” when someone else asserts his/her/its existence. If your definition of God is different to the mainstream idea then you have to let me know […]

Ah, okay. Zero, not just a concept. Like atheism, it’s the lack of something. That is observable. How many apples in the basket? Zero. It’s an observable fact.

In mathematics, putting a “-” in front of a number […]

Lol.. Uhm… did you actually read what I wrote, or did you just feel like having a go at me?

The point I was trying to make (am still trying to make, apparently) is that the statement that secular laws are based […]

Edit: No’s 3 and 4 together are worth $ 5,4 Billion, not No’s 2 and 3.

Lol… well, to be honest, this list does paint a bit of a lopsided picture. No’s 1 and 2 on your list inherited the vast majority of their money, so you van hardly blame them for being born rich. (Just because […]

Lol… Brilliant. That last line really nailed it!
