Premise 1: We as humans cannot prove beyond doubt that god does or does not exist.

Premise 2: If god exists, it is perfect (because that is what defines it as god and makes it worth worshipping).

Premise 3: It must be true that only god is perfect, because if anything else were perfect, it'd be equal to god, and then god would have no real value.

Conclusion: It does not make sense to follow religion because what we'd learn and how we'd learn it is fundamentally flawed, supposing that god even exists.

So, what are your thoughts on the matter? I'd be very interested to hear what you have to say, provided that it's intelligent.

It is no secret that science and faith do not always agree, it is also no secret that their are those on both sides of who hate the other for one reason or the other, and then there are those stranded in the middle.

My question is from a philisophical standpoint can science and faith be reconsiled with each other when they do not agree?

I take as example only the debate of evolution, those who belive in creation (from the extreme) believe that this theory is the work of the devil. While on the other hand those who believe in evolution (from the extreme) believe that those who believe in creation are mindless idiots who have been brain wahsed by religion.

Can both sides be reconcilied, or they doomed to fight forever more? Please explain your answers. I thank you in advance for your insight.

Is it possible that mankind had more abilities with the powers of nature and instinct and that we were blessed with the magical powers of old? But now evolution with technology and all has made us into non-believers, reality worshippers, and less faith in everything. More monetary and material minded? Like maybe we were more primitive before and the balance of that was a gift of magic? After all none of us in the last 1000 thousand years have seen any miracles. Maybe it is all relative to Jesus as well. Maybe he needed to be born then because we were more primitive and G-D being all knowing and time wise knew we would be at a point that we are now inertia? The more we evolve and the more sophisticated as we get, is not passive or peace loving it is more lazy and more to the point selfish, and that we don't want anything to bother our dreams of life which is mostly monetary?

Please suggest only easily available materials and techniques, as highly special materials for rust removal may not be available in India.
I don't feel like throwing them away, as many of them are very old and ingenious (made pre-World War II), and you don't get such cleverly made tools any more.

Some people achieve great financial wealth and professional success, and yet they feel miserable. Other people may not achieve great financial wealth but still achieve professional success and feel wonderful. Still others may achieve neither, and yet, they may be either content or miserable. So its obvious that neither financial wealth nor professional success (either together or separately) necessarily brings about happiness in life. What does?

do you ever sit back and laugh at society because of the whole notion of "famous" and "important" people. we're all a bunch of creatures who don't know what the hell we are, what we're doing here, and just work and go to school because we're told to.
