So far, science has done a pretty good job explaining things. It gave us cars, computers, airplanes, space ships, nuclear bombs, photography, the internet, electricity, genetics, modern medicine, x-rays, particle accelerators, plastic, and a few million other things.
Religion and the supernatural, on the other hand, gave us... well, nothing. No conclusive evidence, no inventions derived from it, just an assload of dumb-ass theories. Religion told us earth was the centre of the universe and the solar system, religion told us the earth was flat, religion told us that disease was "punishment from the gods", religion told us that drought was caused by a lack of sacrifices, religion told us that earth is only a few thousand years old.
So far, in ALL cases, either science has already won or research is still pending. Not once did religion come out on top. If I'm mistaken, please do point me toward a serious experiment which can be replicated that shows the spirit in the sky is responsible for anything whatsoever.
And no, hicks claiming to have been anally probed by the virgin Maria is not evidence.

Some evolutionists practice a form of religion (look up the various definitions of religion) and in doing so...those that eliminate in their minds the possibility of a creator...take a giant leap of faith that abiogenesis actually happened. Thus they have a belief...not unlike those that believe abiogenesis did not happen...but instead believe there was a creator. |
