If you are speaking about God, he has done more for both of us than any of our friends have.

If God gave us the ability to excel in science and medicines for research,?
Why do religious nuts and fanatics are coming in the way of science.Do they care for the real people because their life
could be saved or they just care for their fictional friend?.
In one line you ask If God, in the next you call him a fictional friend. Please make up your mind. As to your answer, I don't believe that an loving God, would want one to die, to save another, at least without the one dieing having the choice. Why do you feel it is OK to sacrifice one to help another.

Today's leading men in science and medicine take so much pride in their own wisdom that in their hearts they despise the Eternal One. How easy they forget their Creator, the giver of all things.
If you take the time to read His Word you will see where science gets their knowledge. If you take the time, you will see that God is real.

The church's are under the false teachers as in th O.T. when they followed the priests of Baal.
We have a mind given to us by our parents of all living... Before they ate the fruit Eve could physically see... It was the eyes to their mind that was opened... They knew they were naked, God said who told you= knowledge...
It was the tree of Knowledge, and Knowledge of good and evil..
cain went to a land= not developed and there built a city... So this was our first society, they could build formulate etc. We are doing nothing that was not given us by God through the tree..
Our real job is to learn to exercise our minds to discern both good and evil .
Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
ps. you can say that the worlds first President was a liar and killer just like today.
hey! whats changed there

If scientists care so much about healing people why do they publish books called "The God Delusion"? Does he sound like he is concerned with cancer and AIDS, or religion?
"The End of Faith" by Sam Harris.
It seems these men who advocate science desire for religion to be obliterated more then they wish for cancer to be obliterated.

First misconception: Religion and science don't agree.
Second misconception: Jesus is fictional.
Third misconception: It's impossible to meet Jesus.
Fourth misconception: Followers of Jesus don't care about people.
As far as I'm concerned, you struck out after three.
ps. I agree with what one of the guys up there said ^ evolution is a fairy tale at best, a blind faith religion at worst. I don't even go so far as to ask for proof of it.. Just show me a single shred of evidence after all these years of "research".

Where do you think this ability came from if not from God?
Jesus told us that what ever we do the the least of the people, we do unto Him. Jesus' life is an example of caring and wanting His disciples (us) to also care for others.

i care for living people and think medicines and what not shouldcontinue. Jesus always talked about the greater good, so i believe this could use science myself.

Do Buddhists believe in a creator god?
No, we do not. There are several logical reasons for this. The Buddha, like modern scientists, sociologists and psychologists, believed that religious ideas and especially the god idea have their origins in fear. The Buddha says:
"Gripped by fear men go to sacred mountains, sacred groves, sacred trees and shrines." *Dhammpada 188
Primitive man found himself in a dangerous and hostile world, the fear of wild animals, of not being able to find enough food, of injury or disease, and of natural phenomena like thunder, lightning and volcanoes was constantly with him. Finding no security, he created the idea of god in order to give him comfort in good times, courage in times of danger and consolation when things went wrong. To this day, you will notice that people become more religious at times of crises, you will hear them say that the belief in a god gives them the strength they need to deal with life. You will hear them explain that they believe in god because they prayed in time of need and their prayer was answered. All this seems to support the Buddha’s teaching that the god-idea is a response to fear and frustration. The Buddha taught us to try to understand our fears, to lessen our desires and to calmly and courageously accept the things we cannot change. He replaced fear, not with irrational belief but with rational understanding.
The second reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is because there does not seem to be any evidence to support this idea. There are numerous religions, all claiming that they alone have god’s words preserved in their holy book, that they alone understand god’s nature, that their god exists and that the gods of other religions do not. Some claim that god is masculine, some that she is feminine and others that it is neuter. They are all satisfied that there is ample evidence to prove the existence of their god but they laugh in disbelief at the evidence other religions use to prove the existence of another god. It is not surprising that with so many different religions spending so many centuries trying to prove the existence of their gods that still no real, concrete, substantial or irrefutable evidence has been found. Buddhists suspend judgement until such evidence is forthcoming.
The third reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is that the belief is not necessary. Some claim that the belief in a god is necessary in order to explain the origin of the universe. But this is not so. Science has very convincingly explained how the universe came into being without having to introduce the god-idea. Some claim that belief in god is necessary to have a happy, meaningful life. Again we can see that this is not so. There are millions of Atheists, free-thinkers and Buddhists, who live useful, happy and meaningful lives without belief in a creator god. Some claim that belief in god’s power is necessary because humans, being weak, do not have the strength to help themselves. Once again, the evidence indicates the opposite. One often hears of people who have overcome great disabilities and handicaps, enormous odds and difficulties through their own inner resources, through their own efforts and without belief in a god. Some claim that god is necessary in order to give man salvation. But this argument only holds good if you accept the theological concept of salvation and Buddhists do not accept such a concept. Based on his own experience, the Buddha saw that each human being had the capacity to purify the mind, develop infinite love and compassion and perfect understanding. He shifted attention from the heavens to the heart and encouraged us to find solutions to our problems through self-understanding.
But if there is no creator god how did the universe get here?
All religions have myths and stories which attempt to answer this question. In ancient times, when man simply did not know, such myths were adequate, but in the 20th century, in the age of physics, astronomy and geology, such myths have been superseded by scientific fact. Science has explained the origin of the universe without recourse to the god-idea.
