Is that all you have to say in response to the fallacious reasoning at the heart of your argument being laid bare for you? Are you not bothered that you are basing your case upon fallacious rubbish? Wouldn't you rather avoid fallacies?
Since you have not attempted to refute my point, concentrating instead on childish nonsense, I must assume that you are happy to concede that you were wrong.
Ooh look, here comes another one;

Yet that is the background they came from. So to suggest there is anything banal about it, is ignoring the reality that that exact foundation is what made them what they were and CAUSED them to explore the world further.
How do you know that religion was what caused these scientists to study nature? How do you know that it wasn't simple intellectual curiosity? Why are not concerned that you are basing another argument upon an obvious fallacy, namely
post hoc reasoning?
Scientist A had a religious upbringing --> Scientist A became a great scientist --> Therefore religious upbringing causes great science.
Do you not see the flaw in the above? If so why use that argument? If not, you must be blind.
I had breakfast this morning --> This afternoon I fell off my bike --> Therefore eating breakfast causes bike accidents.
Do you see the problem?
Added by Edit; I almost missed this piece of nonsense;
quote:
Look at the amount of money spent on SETI. JUST to prove that there is more life than what the scriptures reveal. Scientifically speaking, the task is over, but the project refuses to die.
I see that you are content to repeat the same rubbish over again. You have no evidence that the search for extra-terrestrial life is destined to be fruitless and you have had it clearly demonstrated to you that such statements are illogical. But why let that stop you? Why stop repeating a refuted argument? Much more fun to just mindlessly parrot the same old crap.
SETI is not about disproving your precious scriptures. It's not even about proving that there is alien life. It is about finding out
whether there is alien life. Your silly myths and fables have nothing to do with it. They are your obsession, not SETI's. You are projecting.
Not everybody shares your interest in the Bible, and, thankfully, not everybody shares your eagerness to decide how the universe ticks without bothering to study it.
