Anthony Posted February 17, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted February 17, 2009 No, but it's not about belief, it's to do with scientific method (eg hypothesis testing). Religion is dogma, atheism is a method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Oh no! Not again! Where is the option for "undecided". I'd say it would be quite a popular choice. I only believe in things that can be proven. By the same token, I am willing to accept that just about anything is possible until disproved.

Jondaken Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Not me. I was raised as a Catholic but now i'm an Atheist and believe in Science. And why can't God and Science be the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 This is going to turn into a God vs Science debate, isnt it? Im of the opinion that both can exist. One explains how, the other explains why. Therefore I believe there is a God. I think I am in fairly good company too, the most famous scientist of them all (Einstien) also believed in God.

kidlewis Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Not me. I was raised as a Catholic but now i'm an Atheist and believe in Science. And why can't God and Science be the same thing? because the text faith is based upon contradicts science in about 1000 different ways, and which faith is the "true" god? only one of the religon's is correct, so which one?

And no I don't believe in God, but Rastafarianism and Buddism are two ways of life I'd like to explore a little more in the future. They seem quite fruitful. (And I'm being serious).

kidlewis Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I think I am in fairly good company too, the most famous scientist of them all (Einstien) also believed in God. I always thought his view was more agnostic. just taking one quote as an example: "A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty - it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man." that to me is a statement from an agnostic not of a believer in a God.

kidlewis Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I think good old Stevie Hawkx is of the same belief as Einstein, and I think Sir Robert Winston has a similar view (although he was and is still a practicing Jew). Because they are the pioneers of science, they are venturing into the unknown when it comes to human perception of "what is" and I think have to be completely open about existence in order to come to a conclusion.
