But in that case why don't you go start another thread as debunking Christianity has nothing whatsoever to do with this topic, unless of course you are trying to hijack it?

Why? Let's suppose a scenario in which there could be quadrillions of types of world formed, but there's only this one.
Do we have to wait for you to bring up anything? Why can't any topic be used to explore whether your brain's conclsions are to be trusted as science?

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)
I would say here something that was heard from an ecclesiastic of the most eminent degree; ‘That the intention of the Holy Ghost is to teach us how one goes to heaven, not how the heaven goes.’ Galileo Galilei 1615.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass

It has to do with your reasoning. According to you, it is scientific to reject minority opinions, correct? This would include, for example, Christianity, yes?

Well, you've been wrong about almost everything else you've posted in this thread too. So being wrong about this is no surprise.

And you call me simple. The illusion is produced in your brain. Its a good reason for why we can't trust them.

I didn't say that, i said 'to believe in God' is scientific because more people believe than don't. I didn't reject any minority opinions you did that by bringing Christianity into it which has nothing to do with the original thread whatsoever. If you are confused all you have to do is go back and read it.

Re: Your brain gets too much wrong
'Science' funny word ain't it. Out of the whole known universe only the human mind can use it, let alone say it or even think about it.
i certainly trust my brain more than anything else on this planet. How many mistakes have you made to have such a low opinion of yourself?

Would you like to define it? Also,you seem fond of the word complex so it would help if you defined that as well.
:abe:
I make this request as it appears, to me at least, that there is a disconnect between what you think words mean and how you use them with how most of your respondants are using them and how they are actually defined.

Yes, Ug, science funny wurd.
Out of the whole known universe only the human mind can use it,
There might be other intelligence out there in the known universe.

You should trust science more. It works better.
How many mistakes have you made to have such a low opinion of yourself?
Well, I did try discussing something with you.

Re: Your brain gets too much wrong
I would be happy to define both, but if you don't know their definitions already you may as well fuck off out if here.
maybe you should start a thread just about it so we can scientifically debate meanings that where wrote down hundreds of years ago.

Re: Your brain gets too much wrong
Jeez, calm down there partner. Was that really called for? I did not make the accusation that you don't know what they mean but that you seem to be using them in a rather obscure fashion. Take the title and subject of this thread: "Belief in god is scientific". Beliefs by their very nature are UNscientific. Your very first response by Theodoric was that ofd requesting clarification and you've failed so far to do so. I was merely furthering that request.
If, instead, you would like to name call and be a general cunt, I can surely play that game (I am better at that one anyways).

Re: Your brain gets too much wrong
If it cant be observed it isn't known, therefore not in the known universe.
