Re: I couldn't agree more with your outline
Funny that you should use thread necromancy and call Ray Willowtree.

Re: Beg to differ!
In another forum there are plenty of people saying that religion has been disproved by science.
​
I'm sure this is the case: however if one was to be intellectually honest one would have to say that religion has been not disproved; rather there is no compeling evidence to suggest that any particular religion is correct in its assertions.
​
I think it's important to note that this holds true for all religions.

Re: Beg to differ!
I think that you will find that (as Ramoss points out) many of the claims of religion can be rules out by the scientific approach.
​
However, this will not convince believers (normally) so in a way you are correct that empiricism will never disprove relion.
​
But, religion is a social construct so empiricism can't really be used in this case.
​
However, what mathematicians prove cannot really be said to fully satisfy the problems of the human condition.
​
As far as I'm concerned, religion is not conerned with the human condition: it is method of diseminating ideas of how to think and behave.
​
Nothing more than that.
