...nor proved. Nothing in science is ever "proved", once and for all, like a mathematical proof. Evidence either supports a claim or it doesn't, but all theories are open to be changed if new/better evidence is found in the future.

Why on Earth shouldn't a extremely well-supported unifying scientific theory be taught in schools and broadcasted on the media?

Not that I can see. Not that I am a genius or anything. As long as people do not want a God, they will always try to explain how they came into existence without him.

What a strange thing to say.

​

A majority of scientists believe in God. The VAST majority of people in the world belive in God, as well. Most religions have no problem with Biology or science. It's only a few American extreme fundamentalist Protestant Christian groups which have problems with it.

​

Science says nothing at all about God. Science ignores all of the supernatural, because it is not designed to deal with it.

[QUOTE]Not that this is a surprise or anything. I am not accusing anyone either. I just find it sad. If God hadn't saved me, I know I would be on the other side of the debate. Anyway, that is my opinion. It was kinda spurred by Peter What-his-face saying that Evolution had fallen. It can float, Peter.[/B]

Who told you that God requires you to turn your back on scientific knowledge?

A growing number of scientists are atheists.

No, that's not true. The percentage of scientists who believe in god has held roughly the same for almost 100 years.What is the source for your assertion?I would like to correct myself, though, by stating that 40% of scientists believe in god, not a majority as previously stated.

Actually no, a vast majority of people in the world don't believe in God. Most believe in a god(s). Not everyone believes in the same god(s).

Um, this counts as believing in supernatural, supreme forces of some kind, which falls under tha definition of "god". If we are talking about Protestant Christians, then you should have said so.

Exactly. As I've stated before American science education is a joke.

So, what is your point?

​

Yes, it only deals with that which actually exists.

---

Not quite correct. It deals with what we can sense with our five senses. Other things might exist ouside of this, but we have no way to tell. It is a philosophical distinction, but important.

​

At one time the Church had tried to use science to prove the existence of their god, but when they eventually found out that it could only show the opposite they worked to suppress science by any means necessary.

Right. So I can't tell if you are arguing for science or against it.------------------
"We will still have perfect freedom to hold contrary views of our own, but to simply
close our minds to the knowledge painstakingly accumulated by hundreds of thousands
of scientists over long centuries is to deliberately decide to be ignorant and narrow-
minded."-Steve Allen, from "Dumbth"
