Does anyone have all the facts?

Question

Whether atheist or Religious you must have faith to believe what you do or your an absolute genius, or God. Since science is mostly theory. such as gravity, evolution, the atom and even the facts have exceptions in nature such as the bumble bee being able to fly which defies the laws of aerodynamics then faith in science plays a big role in the beliefs of atheists about the world around them, but since many seem to condem any concept of faith, then atheist neither have fact nor faith. But then the definition of atheist is more to do with not believing than believing, so why do people justify there so called atheism by claiming they believe in facts. I think i'd rather have a religion since they at least know what they have faith in and why.

Answer 1

Well, I have to disagree with anyone who argues the 'facts' on principle, why ? Because there are actually precious few immutable facts in this relative Universe. Just about everything we 'know' is something that would have been 'heresy' or magic, or nonsense, not all that long ago.

The Vedics called 'Truth' Vidya and Arvidya.

Vidya is absolute Cosmic Truth, valid in any dimension of existence.

Arvidya is the relative truth, a transient thing that can be true today and false tomorrow, constantly shifting as we keep making everything up as we go along !

Atheism is, to me, quite correctly, more a rejection of knee-jerk, mass-control, religion as practised, than an actual denial of an Intelligent Design behind the creation of our manifested world.

Although there are those that would argue, with some apparent justification, that if there were a Deity of some kind then (s)he would be responsible for all the suffering and misery, and as such would deserve to be vilified for such sloppy creative inability.

My theory that we are all 'God' bits, that, when functioning as a singularity make the Collective Mind of 'God', such as positted by Jung, would mean that we are all, collectively responsible for everything, and only have ourselves to blame !

It also neatly encompasses the Omni-stuff, if we are all 'God' then we are, indeed, everywhere, all of the time, and we do, collectively 'know' everything.

Checkmate !

Answer 2

Actually, atheism is a religion, if it is strong atheism. According to Merriam-Webster's online dictionary, one definition for religion is "a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith". Since strong atheists believe ardently and with faith ("something that is believed especially with strong conviction"), atheism is a religion. I should know, since I'm one. It is the weak atheist (only a term used to separate the two and has nothing to do with the person) who says they don't believe in god. They are actually closer to being agnostics. To sum up: weak atheists say they don't believe, strong atheists say they believe there is no god. I hope you can see the difference. As for science, you are equating two thing which are in fact separate. Science does not care why the brain works; it cares how the brain works. It doesn't ask why atoms exist, or evolution, or gravity, etc. It cares about explaining how these things work. Science describes the world and it's components; religion tries to explain something about the world and it's existence. One can be tested and verified with the senses; the other relies solely on belief, which needs not have anything to do with the senses.

Answer 3

The question being "Is there a God" can not be proved one way or the other. Many on both sides do not like this so say they know one way or the other. To say I won't decide what I can't know is Agnostic. Both sides make a choice in what to believe and must have faith in that choice. How do we create faith. We brain wash ourselfs and listen to people we trust more than our selfs.

Answer 4

Science has never claimed to have all the facts. It is a method to examine the world. There is no faith required to go with the best available evidence, and most of what you listed is on firm ground. Here is a flow chart to show the difference between science and religion: http://www.wellingtongrey.net/miscellanea/archive/2007-01-15%20--%20science%20vs%20faith.html

Answer 5

the reality which you assert to no longer use a 'concept' shows which you're immediately became off with the aid of the seen a scientific concept and deeply misunderstand what which potential. There are literal mountains of evidence to help evolution yet of course you're seeing it interior the process the lens of religion it truly is likewise blinding you. in case you pick conclusive evidence of evolution in simple terms take a glance on the flu virus on your solutions. each and every 3 hundred and sixty 5 days is mutates and adapts and subsequently demands us to objective and be in simple terms before the 'evolution'. You reported canines that hint returned to the wolf it truly is yet another sort of evolution it truly is easy to verify the dramatic ameliorations which could ensue in a quick quantity of time. think of the capacity of substitute which could ensue over thousands and thousands or hundred of thousands and thousands of years. it truly is evolution. Evolution is a actuality and collectively as there are information that proceed to be doubtful it does no longer disprove it. neither is evolution there to discredit the bible. There are way too many stuff bearing directly to the bible that discredits itself that would not require evolution to be in touch. Your eyes are open yet your suggestions is closed and none of this could make any experience till you stop seeing what you desire to verify and notice what's obvious.

Answer 6

Atheism is believing the absence of God without any proof of God's absence. That is faith!
And atheists mock other people with faith about God's presence.
Who are the foolish ones?

Answer 7

Talking of foolishness...:


Bumblebee wings beat in such a way as to generate airflow separation producing a vortex which generates dynamic stall. The wings then encounter this phenomenon in every oscillation cycle and the enhanced lift effect enables bumblebees to fly. There's no magic involved and your argument collapses into gibbering nonsense at that point.

Answer 8

not necessarily. some people follow religion blindly because of birth, family etc. Personally I do believe in a greater being for my own reasons so therefor I admire free thinkers and respect their views whether they are believers or athiests. One thing for certain, we'll all find out one day which is a point everyone can agree on.

Answer 9

Science can be, and is, admitted to be incomplete and wrong.

Science is a useful tool to create models by which we understand the world. It may be the most useful tool mankind has ever come up with. To have a cautious optimism about its theories is warranted by the information available.

Answer 10

Don't have all the facts here. I just have to believe by faith. But there is a day coming and the word of God says every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.<><
