science and faith

Galileo was a coward was he? When some religious bampot of a different faith threatens you with being set on fire, we’ll see how you do.

Wasn’t it you who claimed the Apostles being martyred for Jesus was not evidence enough for you?

It may well be evidence of their sincerity, but I fail to see how it is evidence of anything else.

My point was that in Galileo’s position, the idiot I was talking to would tell his torturers anything they wanted. Galileo made a pragmatic and sensible decision, one that saved him a lot of pain. I would have done the same, even though I knew the morons who were persecuting me were uneducated troglodytes.

Anyhow, good luck to the pair of you living on the flat Earth with the Sun orbiting overhead.

Your powers of observation do you credit. What a pity they don’t extend to some rudimentary high school reading on the Big Bang Theory.

Sigh…

The Big Bang Theory bears absolutely no resemblence to your educationally subnormal distortion of it. The Big Bang theory makes absolutely know claim to knowledge of what existed before the Big Bang.

I make no claim to any of the knowledge or belief that you have attributed to me. You don’t know me. You don’t know what I believe, you don’t know what I have faith in. This whole post is sentimental drivel. I’d as soon have a preist telling me how to make love to my wife as have you lecture me on Cosmology or what I do or do not believe, since the sound is the same, a person who knows nothing but is in love with his own voice.

Galileo was past seventy so was immune from corporal punishment. No one threatened him with burning. As for the above, well that is what I think of atheists and you fit the profile.

Science and Religion are not mutually exclusive. Each is a tool for navigating and understanding God’s creation. Both should be used with wisdom and the best intentions, lest they become bastions for narrow-minded bigotry and the perpetuation of suffering.

Proof?

As for what you think… I doubt you ever have or ever will…
