Religion is for the mentally ill, or weak minded

Hey thanks Pro, you make some valid points and so do the others in the comments section. So before I get into the specific details about individual points, and there are many of them LoL, lets for a moment look at this from a slightly different perspective and just to be sure we are on the same page, because religion can go in many different directions.. We are discussing two different religions. The religion of Christianity and the religion of science, aka sudo science (because most of science today is sudo science) and Christianity has some of that too, but there is the bible that can point out these problems, unlike science in which you have to take whatever you get.. So lets condense this subject down a little bit to its foundations. You have two options. You can choose the religion (in this case, general belief system) that says you evolved by accident from the scum of the earth and a lightning bolt hitting just the right spot and here you are.. You are a mistake, you have no purpose, you have no destiny, you are an animal, you are a cancer to the earth, when you die you go back to dirt and nowhere else, you need to be managed like live stock for the government, the god of science. The only rights you have are those granted to you from the government because in science your god is the government because God is not out there according to science because the government wants to be god and has a giant well funded movie called science. You are serving science and the government right now in this debate. Or you can choose Jesus, who says you are amazing, you have been intentionally created meaning you have purpose, and are NOT a mistake, you choose your own destiny, you are free, you are wonderfully made with paradise as one of your options to choose from as a destiny and a road map on how to get there. You are loved, you are wanted, you are invited to the feast party of all time. Don't forget, Jesus is a real historical figure, he was here and your calendar points to his visit every day of your life to help you find your true destiny.. We are essentially 2018 years since he was here. The bible foretold about his coming thousands of years before he came, and now the final prophesies are in sight. For example in the end people will not be able to buy or sell without the mark of the beast.. All throughout history nobody could ever figure out how this could happen and many called the bible a farce because of that prophesy. And now enacting such a thing can be done, they are working out the details now.. The mark of the beast is a tracking system written in the bible around two thousand years ago, never possible until now. So with the foundations of our topic of discussion revealed in the light, even if both were a lie, I am pretty sure I would lean toward the Christianity belief system because I would be a happier person everyday that I live and far more comfortable in dying, even if it was a lie.. LoL ********* Below this line I will address some specific points. ********** ********** Pro Statement *** (I will respond in parenthesis) The sun is what sustains life on this planet. Compared to the distances of other planets in our solar system we have life on this planet because of the sun, not God. The earth is the perfect distance from the sun to have water, oxygen, carbon and life.(Perfect by accident?) Venus is too hot for life and Mars is too cold, they also do not have oxygen like on earth. Now we can assume all these things but we have sent men to space and we have documented the planets, we have telescopes that can see the other planets, we have satellites we have sent into space to document all the planets and this knowledge goes back to the time of Galileo and Copernicus which incidentally were shunned by the religious people who tried to suppress the knowledge as they tried to control the population through religion brainwashing. (Well this is why I don't like going into history too much, so lets do a quick history lesson.. The Opposition you are referring to came from the Protestant (Christian at the time) theologians for biblical reasons) But the catholic church wanted to promote the Copernicus theory. This was promoted by the catholic church to put science ahead of scripture by promoting a universe so imaginably large that God was no where to be found and thereby allowing the Catholics to create alien stories for the purpose of, you are right, control of the populous through brain washing and Brain washing through science..) (The Copernicus model centers around the sun, like sun worship does, but Copernicus did not want his THEORY made known until after he was dead, but the catholic church (which is NOT Christian) was so excited and to push this sudo science they created the Jesuit society which became the agents of change. Copernicus wrote the book, "revolutions of the heavenly bodies" dedicated to the pope, the Copernican revolution through the Jesuit order began changing the public perception of the scriptures the earth and the creator. The Jesuits became infamous for their skill at deception and subterfuge. Their ability to infiltrate governments and institutions of learning; their standing as advisers to kings, and new leaders in education; the very influence they wielded was tantamount to becoming humanly insurmountable. This is where what you believe in, came from) We have scientific data on everything in our solar system. (Scientific data? Do you mean the sun worship Copernicus theory? Maybe you mean the data that the scientists got caught cooking up to make global warming look real? Hmmm, maybe it was the moon landing movie with shadows coming from different directions with one sun? I think I would call this 'blind faith'?) What does religion base their information on? A Bible, a bunch of fairy tales written by man 2000 years ago? (Fairy tales? LoL, fairy tales that accurately predict the future thousands of years in advance when science cant hardly predict the weather a week out? LoL)(The bible is older than 2000 years, u are referring to the new testament) How do you explain fossils and dinosaurs then?? No mention of them in the bible, just that God created Man and Woman. (Here we go with history correction again, LoL) (Lets take a close look at dinosaurs from a physics standpoint and call it the Paradox of large dinosaurs. Its as if the laws of physics no longer apply to support some of these gigantic sizes. Without going into pages and pages of details There are four problem areas illustrating why the largest dinosaurs and pterosaurs present a paradox to science: 1 Inadequate bone strength to support the largest dinosaurs, 2 Inadequate muscle strength to lift and move the largest dinosaurs, 3 Unacceptable high blood pressure and stress on the heart of the tallest dinosaurs, 4 Aerodynamics principles showing that the pterosaurs should not have flown. Essentially somebody finds a bone and tells the scientist to fill in the blanks or no pay check.. LoL There are however complete fossilized remains of giant humans, which of course are mentioned in the bible, Goliath was a famous one..) Running out of space.. the following is a response about Adam and Eve. (Cain did not sleep with his mother Eve LoL. Nevertheless this is a very good point. It is hard to use today's understanding to understand the beginning of man.. Remember that man use to be perfect, he had no genetic problems. Adam and Eve were having babies left and right LoL Cain probably did marry a sister, or a niece or a grand niece or maybe even a few at the same time LoL. The laws of governing incest were enacted during the time of Moses. Check out Genesis 20:12 "Besides, she actually is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife; ") Next - Scientific proof - I will post the rest in comments..
