If your main basis or confirmation that the earth is a disk is because of your religion, alright. It makes your version of the FE just as likely as any other religion. If you believe something different, that is okay, but keep religion out of the science classroom because if your answer to everything is "God did it," you will have no place in the world of discovery.
Saying "God did it" is not an answer, For a believer is God behind every action on this world. Nothing happens without the permission of God, so you can answer "God did it" to every question you can think of.
So, for a believer, of course God did it, but you still need to specify how and why.
Why do you guys think that Religion and science are counterpoles of each other? science and Religion can be perfectly in harmony with each other. As a matter of fact, Why would God create one thing but teach us totally something different in It's holy books? that doesn't make sense.
I do believe in God, But also in his books, and Prophets...and I still am pro-science.
We need science to understand the world, but that will never disprove God.
Listen, I didn't mean to offend anyone. I don't feel there is enough evidence to prove whether or not there is a god. I can lean either way. However I did mean to say that if you look to your religious book for science, you are misleading yourself, as they were written before people had the ability to really understand what is happening in the world and why. Discovery first began when people questioned the organized religions.
God, depending on your definition, may or may not exist, however if it is your final answer to why things work the way they do, don't be offended if people ask you to step aside so that they may continue to question.
You do not understand the whole religion concept.
People back then perhaps lacked the ability to really understand what was really happening in the world, but God sure did. And those books were originally not "written" by people, but dictated by God himself. So basically, They could contain some scientific stuff in it. But the purpose of those was not the scientific part. and by constantly rewrite, and translate and rewrite again for different versions of it, a lot of it's content is being changed and misinterpreted.
I am sure there was nothing about a Flat Earth was mentioned in any of the original Holy books.
I think the idea of God was first created as a reason for why we exist. It was man's first attempt to find his place. Each religion has their different views on what God is, and I view each as theories. I also believe strongly that you can't prove a negative, thus making it impossible to say whether or not there is a god. While looking for how and why the universe works, the simplest answer is god or a higher creator. This may be true, or we may just not understand our universe yet. I think it's too early to make any final conclusions.
usually the simplest answers are also the best answers.
personally I think the existence of a God is more logical than the Universe being created because of a major coincidence. did you already calculated how small the chance is for the creation of a DNA molecule out of coincidence? that chance is very very small. and yet, it still is not an explanation for how life can exist.
I mean, you can perhaps create a cell, or you can even put some organs together and build a body with it, but it still doesn't live.
Too early to make final conclusions? may be, but you only have time until your death, after that you will die as a non-believer, which is not good for you if God turns out to really exists
I don't see why religion and science cant get along
After all, God would be the ultimate scientist!
He (or whatever it is) created the Universe! Try upping one on that at your next science fair project!
Amen to that,
But God doesn't need to be a scientist He is already allknowing. you can't compare the creator with the created.
Quantum tunnelling is supposed to give plausibility to the idea that 'something' could come from 'nothing'. So the big bang could have started this way.
If the universe goes the way of the 'heat death' in 10^10^10^56 years, it is theorised that quantum tunnelling could happen again and start another big bang. No hand of God required. For all we know this universe was spawned from such an event from a prior universes heat death and so on and infinite number of times.
Of course it's all theory and speculation and no one knows anything for sure.
Maybe it is the very hand of God which makes this "quantum tunneling" or "Big Bang" or "evolution" possible...ever thought about that?
Couldn't he just have used the Big Bang and evolution to create the universe and every living creature in it?
could that be an answer?
The earth is clearly a sphere and god, which ever one you happen to choose is an illusion.
Don't get confused my friend, just because there are tons of evidence of a sphere earth does not automatically mean that God is an illusion.
such behaviour is common for a lot of FE-ers. They try to muffle away some other arguments with the same effort of commenting on one particular argument.
I didn't expect this behaviour from you though.
so, where is your prove that God is an illusion?
