I note that you do so to completely avoid having to account for your own bona fides. It is as pathetic as it is transparent.


Your repetition of this already dismembered assertion does not improve it. You have not in fact demonstrated a single example of a Notre Dame faculty member who has ever once agreed with you. You can't even name one. You are bluffing badly... essentially just making stuff up


Do you even have an undergraduate degree?



Once again, you potroonishly resort to personal insults rather than substantive argument. Why do you bother? Did you never learn that the only unforgivable sin is to be boring?
Bud. You have an undergraduate degree and talk on behalf of science??? Do you think your pompous style is going to impress anybody?

I'd like to get your answer to this: Why do you think there's no conflict between religion and science?

Can you explain your position without resorting to argument from authority?

Lol. Logically proving the existence of something is much easier than prooving the opposite You created this new "being" i.e. conflict between science and religion so you prove it exist... So far no good argument while plenty against including long list of scientist who were believers and some scientific institutions affilated with churches.

Science is God and God is science. Take Darwin for instance..he was not out to disprove the existence of God..he was out to dismantle the works of God and study the parts to understand creation. Darwin never spoke out - nor took the soap box of science and declared "look- there is no God- here is the proof"...

Darwin's work served to prove that life was a miracle..

At the head of this thread is the option to VOTE - for Science or for Religion. Religion in it's pure form and when understood by the intelligent is like a lesson in high physics..the problem arises when superstition and speculation is inserted into religion.

Those who vote for science are those who have used scientific method to filter and purify ideas till they purify it into a state of reality...or as close as they can get..at one time blood letting was used to treat anemia..but they filtered that foolishness out.

Religion is the same for the intelligent and questioning God believer as for the good willed scientist - it is the duty of those entering into religion to filter and purify their believes to get as close to reality and truth as possible...few bother doing this with religion because they do not do their due diligence.

Nonsense question/poll.

Science and religion are complimentry. A Hail Mary and an aspirin work wonders physically and emotionally for a headache, as an example.

Science has become intentionally distorted in an equivalence of twisted religious fervor, both to gain political advantage and further whatever fringe cause.

Science is unrecognizable to most and its critical interpretation is used creatively for nefarious purpose. Science has become a pretend set of facts whose name is 'dropped' in an attempt to get automatic respect of any nonsense spoken as 'gospel'.

You think even half the people the Dem activists round up on election night even have an inkling as to what 'science' actually is?

This "either or" feeds into the class warfare strategy of the arm of divide and conquer strategy to change America into a socialist 2nd rate global community resident on welfare.

I actually have a graduate degree as well.

Do you have any degree at all?
