True or false?why?

Question

believers in God and non-believers both have faith;the only difference being believers faith is in God,while non-believers faith is in science.Either side can point out supposed flaws in the others reasoning,so it's obvious that logic alone is not gonna settle the questions about God.At some point faith&trust from the heart must be involved so that things can be understood in a different way than what we're use to using in the natural world.

Answer 1

All of them are liars or ignorant (or both). "Assumptions" are based on faith. A scientific analysis ALWAYS starts with a set of assumptions related to the hypothesis stated for the subject being investigated.
These little people don't know that. They're not within the walls of a scientific laboratory. They're renting time at a computer at Kinko's.
Infact, they're just accepting (by faith) what we engineers/scientist have determined and subsequently published. Have you ever seen a scientific book/publication with ONLY a first edition? Guess what? Before the subsequent editions are published, these people accepted what was published as truth! Did they accept it "by faith", or did THEY KNOW the previous theory was flawed. If they knew, they should have MY job.

You've got to get them to stop lying first. Good luck with that.

Answer 2

I have no faith in science. When I was in school the only science class I got a decent grade in was 8th grade Earth Science. I could not begin to debate you on Evolution. I don't have any details of the Big Bang theory. I got a D- in Human Biology.

But I do know one thing for certain. God does not exist. I do not need science for this. The proof is in the pudding. There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that God exists. And to top it off, the concept of God is completely absurd. Does it really make sense to believe that the Universe was created by a magic all-powerful invisible man that has lived since the beginning of time somewhere in space? That he sent his son to die for our sins? Except he came back to life and has been living in Heaven for the past 2,000 years? Does any of that make sense at all? It's completely crazy!!!

The Bible is replete with errors and contradictions. The God of the Old Testament is probably the most EVIL character ever conceived of by man. Even if he did exist, he would not be worthy of my worship.

And to think I used to be a Christian until I started thinking for myself. Unbelievable....

Answer 3

I'm not sure where you're going here.

There are different ways to look at the world, but the dividing line is not believing in God. What about Buddhists who believe in the search for enlightenment? What about Hindus who believe in a polytheism which is sort of monotheism?

Instead, I suspect there is a spectrum of belief ranging from completely skeptical (believing in ONLY what one can see and hear and touch,) to completely gullible (believing in things regardless of a complete lack of evidence.)

No one is completely one or the other, but we each have a place somewhere between.

Which means Logic is probably never enough for anyone. And it probably also means that everyone thinks the people who are more skeptical don't have enough faith, and people who are more gullible don't have enough sense.

Answer 4

...but...I think the natural world is the best way to defend a god!
See, the entire universe is so well organized, from the way galaxies rotate, solar systems rotate, down to the way molecules rotate, YOU KNOW atoms and neutrons etc.
It all is the same,. HUGE galaxies or minute ones.
YOU and I can see the same ORDER.
So, to me, That kind of order tells me there was an intelligent mind involved.
Just as if I was walking through a deep forest and came upon a cottage. The cottage has an order, a purpose, a builder....JUST because it might be empty, or abandoned does not mean that because it is in a forest it was an accident. It has order. ORDER means an intelligent builder! So too the universe. Just my thoughts!

Answer 5

To have faith in logic and science makes little sense. It is an acceptance that these things are factual. I have no faith in 1+1=2. I recognize its truth.

To deny logic, reason, and observations is to throw the entire world into a paradox where nothing has meaning.

Answer 6

False.

Science requires no faith, not in the way you're using it. Faith for you is belief despite contrary evidence. Science is the belief in things BECAUSE of evidence. Science requires no faith, other than the faith that we actually exist and we're not in the matrix and so on. Science deals with oberservable reality, religion deals with things that cannot be proven so require faith.

Answer 7

A flawed argument. I don't have "faith" in non believing, I just accept that evolution goes a long way further than "faith" in proving that god doesn't exist.

Answer 8

Faith is not belief without evidence, Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld. (Hebrews 1;1)

At most times, the bible and science agree, its just those hard
-headed church fathers who dont. Remember the case of Galileo...It was Ptolemy whom the church believed not the Bible, the bible never said that the sun revolves around the earth.

True Science is in harmony with the bible...and they agree in the value of reasoning.

Answer 9

Faith is belief that is not based on truth. God can not be proven yet science can, therefore you can't have faith in something like science because scientific theories are based on truth.

Answer 10

No. Faith by definition is acceptance without evidence. Science HAS evidence. So science doesn't require faith.
