Good will to all men? Not from the grumpy atheists! (Thank God not all atheists are grumpy but there sure seems to be a lot of them)
Why is it that so many in the atheist community cannot bring themselves to get past their anger whenever they engage in discussions? The language of many of their contributions in public debate is laced with invective and dripping with sarcasm and bile. There are exceptions of course, but they tend to fall more into the category of being the 'exception that proves the rule' when compared to the hostility of many of today's atheist posters. Comment offered by the theists in the public square is often depicted as being 'malicious' or 'venomous' and intended to enslave the 'feeble minded and weak' by those who post. Nothing could be further from the truth. Venom is something that is oriented to death. Christians are oriented in a 180 degree different direction. We speak not to the culture of death that grips our world but rather for the culture of life and light which ends with the gift of eternal life. For example, the Catholic Church in its hum...
The popes reaction to scientific discovery always seems to me to be filled with fear. Perhaps a fear that to much science will weaken his own faith or everyone else’s or whatever. Does he ever pause to think that it really takes much more faith to believe in science than it takes to believe in God ? There are those who refuse to believe in scientific theory for the same reason as those who refuse to believe in the existence of God. There is no ‘ proof ‘.
ReplyDeleteThere is no such thing as scientific proof of anything. Just when we think we have it nailed down , along comes quantum physics to reveal a new world hidden within the one we had all figured out. We cant say much about it because it departs totally from classical physics and particles at the sub-atomic behave differently when they are being observed than when they are not, therefore ,we have no means or terms to measure any observation. However , the quantum realm has revealed some perplexing conclusions about reality , many of which could shake or collapse a flimsy grounded faith in God.
-1.There is ‘ proof ‘ in the quantum world that God does not exist . 2.There is ‘ proof ‘ in the quantum world that God does exist . 3.There is ‘ proof ‘ in the quantum world that God probably does not exist but at the same time He probably does.- It all depends on which proof you choose to see at any given time .The point is , the pope really needs to get over the “ Big Bang .”
