Not exactly. What I wanted to address was how to discuss faith based topics with believers when those topics can (and/or have been) proven to be wrong empirically. I am in no way trying to disprove or even discuss, say, the trinity or that jesus is the son of god, oranything else in that category.
The problem is that nothing that is accepted by faith can be proven to be wrong.
As tesla has pointed out faith is personal and is affected by nothing not even what you call facts.
If you love your woman and want to spend the rest of your life living with her in a happy life you need to back off. Especially if she is sincere with her faith. You will not convince her that her faith is misplaced if she truly has faith in God.
I deal with these situations on a daily basis and have seen many separations because one party tried to change the other.
Now I got a question. Is she happy in Church, studying the Bible, and helping others? If she works in a retirement home she sees death quite often and has to deal with the emotions of that aspect of life. Her faith tells her they are in a better place which helps her accept death. So if it keeps her happy and a joyful person what is the harm.
Especially if it is only a myth anyway.
You can teach the boy science later and if he makes up his mind to believe as you do then ok but if he believes her way that should be ok to. But from your comments that is unacceptable.
Especially if it is only a myth anyway.
Your problem is you want to take away her faith because you know she is wrong.
Are you 100% sure you are right?
Now let me ask you another question about your faith.
The universe did not exist at T=0.
Do you believe the universe existed at T=10
-43?
Why? Where did it come from? There was no observer, and it can not be reproduced. Therefore Faith is required.
I believe God created the universe in the beginning. Faith is required.
When a person has a personal faith in something no amount of evidence will destroy that faith.
If you don't want to rock the boat, you sit still in the boat.
IOW talk about anything but religion.
God Bless,
