    The things they do in the name of religion

    Okay, I've been stumbling through this whole thread somewhat bewildered. Am I the only one here who believes in God, yet at the same time, craves science? I believe (can I not say believe in conjunction with science? Too bad.) in evolution, and the big bang, and new theories excite me. I take the Bible lightly, more as a moral guideline than historical fact (I find 3,000 year old men afraid of their own shadow to be untrustworthy historical sources). Until reading this thread, I was not aware that science and religion were apparently incompatable. Neither can prove everything, and IMO, the world (at least my world) would be somewhat empty without one or the other. I find too many things left unexplained by science, or as somebody mentioned earlier, incomprehensible by humans, to not believe in God. But (brace yourself, hardcore science athiests) most people are not religious simply to prove things, or explain history and theories, etc. They are religious because it makes them feel better, it makes them feel they have a purpose. That needs to be understood. Only the extremists (I'm going out on a limb here and going back to the original topic) use religion to explain everything, and damn everybody that disagrees. Extremist athiests do the opposite. Both are annoying.

    Wow. I have never seen a more ridiculous and hypocritical webite than godsaidmansaid. Nore have I laughed that hard in quite a long time, thanks for the link. I especially liked how he condemned anything not said in the bible and all who don't believe in the bible as 'works of the devil,' and then fell back on 'records of ancient civilizations' telling of a floating ocean (not in the bible) to prove that the earth is 6,000 years old. Then, whenever trying to disprove science, he went on his 'if it isn't in the bible it isn't true' tirade. Not trying to flame anybody, I'm a christian myself, but there just aren't words to describe that site. It's just ridiculous.
