For history shows man is wicked, and man is good.
For science shows creation is wicked, and creation is good.
For religion shows everything is wicked, and everything is good.
Why destroy everything we have created?

Everything is true in one aspect, false in one aspect and irrelevant in every other aspect. We now have no more reasons to argue.

Points of all of these can be augured with.
Take the stories of King Aurthur as an example. Are they actually real or just embellished stories. The most original tale has him in western England between Wales and Glastonbury to the north and south. The Western coast and London to the east and west.but nobody can find Camelot its self. Nor the location of the isle of Avalon. Was He the last of the Pagan Kings and the First of the Christian Kings of England as some say?
And there are other examples as well where the tales are real but we cannot find the actual sites. History was written after the event and interpreted by the writer.
Science has proved its self wrong in its theories of how things were and are and have had to rewrite their books to take in the new "proven " facts.
Mans idea of religion has also changed over time from a temper tamperer throwing God to one one love and kindness.
The only constant in our history is change.

We argue about history because fo those who fear the past, who cannot square with the major flaws in the human race.
Science can be argued with because we do not know everything there is to know.Our knowledge of science is not complete and what we "know" today may one day become what we used to think.
Religion can be argued about only because there are those who cannot accept the teachings of another. Every religion has some amount of truth in it. Once we have realized that and utterly destroyed intolerance, religion will cease to be an object of debate.

Not everything we have created is good or beneficial. Many of the things we've created are destructive and inhumane.
History, science and religion all show our desire to improve our lot in life, either by small measure or large.
To deny us the ability to make the effort to improve the world in some small way, we would be denied our essential humanity. Indeed, the best part of our humanity.
Should we destroy ourselves to save all that has been created?

According to you. I think that negative world-view leads nowhere.
According to me:
History shows that man is flawed, good and noble at some moments, terrible and destructive at the next. There are no blacks and whites in history, only shades of grey.
Science shows that creation is perfect. Every discovery brings new amazements and new questions, everything fits together so perfectly and balanced that we cannot possibly comprehend the greatness of it all. Science shows us that nature, our universe, is really the only perfect thing in existance.
Religion shows us that our understanding of the absolute will never be complete. It gives us answers to those things that we cannot reason.

You forgot the other angle.
And that would be the idea of "Indifference".
If you don't care then the venal becomes the visceral. Your rationale for understanding life becomes closer to being in the "now". You start to use history, science and religion as a salad bar that can be used or not.

How else do we learn except by examining both sides to History, Religion and Science? I believe the debates between the extremes allows us great knowledge and wisdom. To not explore all these things would deny us a great gift.

To everything is a reason. Man has a critical mind. What the hell is this guy trying to do? Rhyme without reason?
Whose story of creation?
Whose idea of science?
Whose concept of religion?
Put your thumb to your index finger and look through the loop. That is infinity there! You have your own concepts, why should not all of us?

Historical accounts are often inaccurate in that they are written with bias, and change over time.
Science does not judge creationism, it supplies facts and theories evolved from those facts.
Religion is a modern term for mythology, so, at most it is allegorical.
And what does your last question have to do with your previous statements? did you leave out a few connecting steps?

I disagree on your statement about science. Offer some proof. That's like saying global warming will destroy earth. That's crap.
By the way, have a nice week-end!

history shows man made things wicked, but we have the ability to do good.
science shows that creation is good, but we have made it bad.
religion shows everything is bad, except god.
Happy?
