Re: God VS Science

You already posted basically that exact statement..why did you post it again? I'll just copy/paste my previous response.

Strawman, -5 points.

No, he's saying -he- won't believe it -himself- unless there is sufficient proof. I mean, it's a pretty absurd thing to claim anyway, but at least respond to the claim he made, not the claim you want to say he made.

Re: God VS Science

Nothing as in non-existant is there [to be accounted for] until its proven to be there.

Anything beyond that is fictional? You are basically saying that if it hasn't been discovered then it does not exist. Most of the universe has not been discovered nor will it be for some time, but that does not mean it is ficticious. Faith is one of those things that can be discovered, but not indefinitely, but that does not mean it does not exist.

Same argument as "Well you can't prove god DOESN'T exist."

Re: God VS Science

Reading that obviously fake transcript hurt my brain. No legit science professor would be dumbfound by such flimsy logic which could be used to debunk the student's very own claims, fail to state how science works by making a conclusion from facts and observations and not the other way around, and fail to state that it's mother****ing science.

It's a common argument for Creationists that science requires faith, therefore is on the same tier as religion. I was watching a I.D. program on some Christian channel (not to challenge my beliefs so much as to learn the logic behind I.D. proponents, and it was at that infinitesimally small moment before I changed the channel that I realized I had no reason to be watching it), and the guy said "blah blah FOSSIL RECORD GAPS ... what fills these gaps? Faith does. Faith fills these gaps." It's simply a crappy argument because science has a foundation, it reaches conclusions from that foundation and not the other way around. If there was evidence against evolution (not speculation!), science would move on and reach a new conclusion.

What a pathetic class to be in awe instead of dumbfounded. They all get an F.

False presumption for all of them. If I were there, I'd either be sleeping or calling everyone out on their stupidity. Probably the latter, but I wasn't there Silence != dumbfounded. -5 points.

Um...I specifically said they -should- have been dumbfounded but weren't. Comprehension! -5 for you.

And on that note, I think this thread can lock up and die.
