1. Science cannot prove or disprove the existence of God.
2. It follows from this that any scientific theory no matter how controversial has any bearing on the existence of God.
The major problem is that in the past and now, it is about power over others by setting the rules that are declared to be absolute,so that even the slightest doubt that arises can erode the power of the self appointed guardians of truth and justice.
Why these people of doubtful motive are scared about any new insight is that it shows them for the ignorant hypocrites they are. Thus any source of knowledge that erodes their absolute view of the 'truth' has to be stopped.
The word Heretic comes to mind.
There was a time that the major problem that faced forward christian thinkers was how many angels could dance on the head of a pin. Maybe we could have a thread about this one. I doubt it.
All I ask all of you is to think carefully about how the Universe works. Superstition only seems to work if you have no real answers.
The Ipod would have brought gasps of amazement even in the 1950's let alone a GSO 16" Dob for less than the cost of a car in 1970's.
I will not argue about scientific fact such as Evolution as it is all in the peer reviewed literature.But to turn one facile arguement around...
Has any one seen a quantum mechanic
? Ans. No.
The computer you are viewing this post on would not exist if it was not for a deep understanding of solid state Physics and the fabrication of devices that work on these principles.
