Are you denying that many people champion science only to run peoples faith into the ground?
Science is about facts. Religion is about belief based on no facts. If facts "run people's faith into the ground" it's not the fault of the "facts." (And their faith must not be much to begin with.) But you would have to get down off your cross of persecution in order to understand that. I won't hold my breath.

How has science infringed on your life? This ought to be good.
There is one very significant difference between Science and Religion. Science never claims to have absolute truth, while all Religions claim they alone possess absolute truth.

Let's see....
Fluoride in my water
Mandated vaccinations
Common core education
Trying to ween society off petrol dependency
Slush funds for scientific research
just for starters....
Are you saying that scientific research ISN'T used as coercion? Because THAT would be more rich than anything. Either way, start a thread about it. How about you talk about how science is nowehre near any kind of consensus regarding the smoking gun dinosaurs.

Yes because rotting teeth, dying of preventable diseases, and continuing to lay waste to the planet in search of oil are so much better than the alternatives.
So, what DO archaeologists know about dinosaurs, LOL.
Science does not destroy religion, in fact it shows how wondrous HIS works really are, think about it. Now if your beliefs are so fragile that evolution damages or destroys it then your faith is not all that strong to begin with.

Wow. You are against vaccinations that have virtually eradicated many diseases from the world? You are against finding alternative sources of energy? You are against funding scientific research? The ignorance of this post is beyond astounding.

Make sure you go to a faith healer the next time you get sick. You wouldn't want any of those manipulative doctors coercing you with any of that newfangled "science" stuff.

You brought up the subject of how science was "infringing on your life." I was merely responding to you.

Again, science is an evolving thing. As new things are discovered, old ideas are discarded. I know if one is viewing the world purely through a religious lens, where everything was decided 2,000 years ago and nothing new is allowed in, it would be difficult a difficult concept to grasp.

Science proves to me their is a GOD.
complex and ever changing ideas of what science thinks is real is finding only that LIFE and the creation of life is not so easy to nail down to a proven fact.
Religion is not GOD only the worship of a way to support that religion and not completely GODS and humans purpose.
If you didn't want to talk about religion and science, maybe you shouldn't have posted about religion and science in your OP, huh?
Yeah, no kidding! The OP clearly had an axe to grind, and it wasn't about dinosaurs or birds.
If there's one thing I've learned since joining this forum, its that no group is more thin-skinned than the hyper-religious types. Somehow everything is an attack on their sky daddies!
