Devient.Genie Is Unnecessary

We've all heard many intellectuals inflict and support, ridicule and contempt for religion. Now knowing that knowledge, that interestingly enough, the elite of the intelligentsia have a huge tendency to support the ridicule and contempt for religion, you can ask yourself why? and then simply dismiss it because its beyond your understanding. However, you should ask why, you should keep asking until you figure it out. If you cant answer what came before nothing, you can either keep asking questions, discovering and learning with new tools, called sciences or you can stop asking questions and say "god did it", "its gods will", god works in mysterious ways" Sciences, like any other tool, comes with different types. Each tool, or science, contributes something to our understanding the reality of the world we live in. Math is the language of the universe, everything is either a variable or a constant. In the equation of life, the constant in religions mind is god, god is always the answer to every equation. So now when you already have the answer, yet remember its life, youre gonna learn new better answers or you should be learning new improved answers when the variables are ALWAYS changing. If the variables continue to change and change with the more we discover, you should naturally have a different answer, even if that answer is "I dont know" with the unlimited number of variables in life, thats an intelligent answer. By having god as the answer to every equation, you will simply find a way to make the variables = god, instead of letting the variables = what they equal. Instead, the religious mind takes the same book, but when confronted with a blatant contradiction, found a way to make the variables fit the answer, god is real. This delusion is often defended by using labels like, allegories, parables, metaphors, or simply stated, opinions. Religious labels mean nothing. Labeling the space time continuum with BC and AD, prove nothing other than labels inspired by opinions :) So if I plug all the variables that are in the many many different opinions of the bible, I will get different answers, called interpretations. Different interpretations are called religions for short. Each religion is a different interpretation of how life on earth came to be, and why things are the way they are. I dont want to JUST believe, I want to know. Since nobody knows everything, and its impossible to know everything, I can only go on probability. Science and I have that in common, we like to think in probabilities based on logic, reason critical thinking, and our secret weapon, EVIDENCE Its more probable that the magnificent and beautiful universe is Not under the watchful eye of a celestial dictator that made an appearance in the middle east to let people know they shouldnt work on a certain day or it's a death sentence (exodus 35:2) The same skepticism that killed Santa, is the same skepticism that kills the boogeyman, and tooth fairy, and when you have the courage to turn that skepticism up a notch, the intellectual honesty it bears is called atheism. So if you want to stick your chest out and proliferate a poison, there is No John McCarthy to stop the fight. When I ridicule and hold religion in contempt, there's no referee stopping the fight because of that split in your head right above your eyebrow, Im gonna cave your whole face in :) "I have been called arrogant myself in my time, and hope to earn the title again, but to claim that I am privy to the secrets of the universe and its creator " that's beyond my conceit. I therefore have no choice but to find something suspect even in the humblest believer--Christopher Hitchens Geology is the study that shows us that fossils are of different ages. Paleontology shows us a fossil sequence, the list of species representing changes through time. Taxonomy shows biological relationships among species. Evolution is the EXPLANATION that threads it all together! Creationism is the practice of squeezing your eyes shut, stomping your feet crying, "Does Not!" Many scientists have described evolution as fact and theory. A fact in science as meaning data, not absolute certainty but "confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent." A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of such facts. The facts of evolution come from observational evidence of current processes, from imperfections in organisms recording historical common descent, and from transitions in the fossil record. Theories of evolution provide a provisional explanation for these facts. Each of the words 'evolution', 'fact' and 'theory' has several meanings in different contexts. Evolution means change over time, as in stellar evolution. In biology it refers to observed changes in organisms, to their descent from a common ancestor, and at a technical level to a change in gene frequency over time;t can also refer to explanatory theories such as Darwin's theory of natural selection which explain the mechanisms of evolution. Fact can mean to a scientist a repeatable observation that all can agree on; it can mean something that is so well established that nobody in a community disagrees with it; it can also refer to the truth or falsity of a proposition. To the public, theory can mean an opinion or conjecture, but in the scientific world it is a "well-substantiated explanation". With this number of choices, people often end up talking past each other, and meanings become the subject of linguistic analysis. Evidence for evolution continues to be accumulated and tested. The scientific literature includes statements by evolutionary biologists and philosophers of science demonstrating some of the different perspectives on evolution as fact and theory.
