Not sure how your poll was conducted; if ALL scientists were polled, it undoubtedly included SCORES of Asians - who as a people are the MOST likely to not believe in God - over a third of the professors in her department attend church; it stands to reason still others are believers (Chemistry/Biochemistry Dept.) - And, no, it's not a private school - it's a state university.
Incredibly true. If the Church hadnt sanctioned scientific study, we'd be 600-700 years behind what we are.
They didnt always like the conclusions (ok, they rarely like Astronomy, if ever), but regardless, it happened on their watch.
You want to blame someone or something for man's lack of advancement through the Dark Ages/Middle Ages, blame Rome.
When I criticize the Church, its usually for its atrocities committed in the name of God, not whether the stories are actually true (even though I dont believe them for even half a second).
Because that is a matter of faith, something I hold none of.
From his wiki page...
Sounds pretty sweet. I needs to start me own religion.He was attended by "Commodore's Messengers," teenage girls dressed in white hot pants who waited on him hand and foot, fixing his shower and dressing him and even catching the ash from his cigarettes.[8]
click on the link if you want to know how it was conducted, nutso
no, it sounds like condemnation to the kid raised by wolves.
Kid: "but God, I never heard of Jesus"
God: "ohhhhhh........too bad. I put all the signs of him in nature.....you have no excuse so too bad........ for you.......NEXT!
Charles Manson: "hey God, remember I said I believed in Jesus at the last second and I reallu meant it!
God: "Great job, Charlie! Cmon in!........Let's see here........I've assigned you a mansion next to Angel Luv........you'll love her.......Have a great stay!"
LAUGH OUT LOUD.
WE ARE ALREADY BEHIND because of the Church. amazing ...
They persecuted even galileo, science was always seen as the enemy of the church because it DIRECTLY CONTRADICTED WHAT WAS WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE.
we have people even TODAY in 2009 who want to teach the fairy tales in SCHOOL over scientific theories.
Really!!!
Another disingenuously insipid argument by MH...
I have answered you, you just don't want to receive it.
For that child raised in the wilderness by wolves... the fact that he has opposable thumbs and the wolves do not, the grains of sand too numerous to count, the night sky filled with stars, the fact that the wolves raised him insead of eating himall serves as visual testimony of the goodness of God and the Lordship of Jesus.
Intellectually-dishonest debate tactics are typically employed by dishonest politicians, lawyers of guilty parties, dishonest salespeople, cads, cults, and others who are attempting to perpetrate a fraud. My real estate opponents, in general, are either charlatans or con men. As such, they have no choice but to employ intellectually-dishonest tactics both to prove that I am wrong and to persuade you to buy their products and services. My coaching opponents are generally not charlatans or con men, but many are quite political.
Here is a list of the intellectually-dishonest debate tactics I have identified thus far. I would appreciate any help from readers to expand the list or to better define each tactic. I am numbering the list in order to refer back to it quickly elsewhere at this Web site.
- Name calling: debater tries to diminish the argument of his opponent by calling the opponent a name that is subjective and unattractive; for example, cult members and bad real estate gurus typically warn the targets of their frauds that “dream stealers” will try to tell them the cult or guru is giving them bad advice; name calling is only intellectually dishonest when the name in question is ill defined or is so subjective that it tells the listener more about the speaker than the person being spoken about; there is nothing wrong with using a name that is relevant and objectively defined; the most common example of name calling against me is “negative;” in coaching, the critics of coaches are often college professors and the word “professor” is used as a name-calling tactic by the coaches who are the targets of the criticism in question; as a coach, I have been criticized as being “too intense,” a common put-down of successful youth and high school coaches. People who criticize their former employer are dishonestly dismissed as “disgruntled” or “bitter.” These are all efforts to distract the audience by changing the subject because the speaker cannot refute the facts or logic of the opponent.

so you click on the link yet?
damn you are ing crazy.
Funny, when I look at the stars in the sky, I don't see information saying that Jesus died on a cross for my sins.
All Hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Post it again, I don't feel like scrolling. I promise I'll click.
I hope it one day leads you to pray because Jesus promises that anyone who seeks Him will find Him.

less than 10% of leading scientists believe in god... and that was from 1998. it's probably even lower by now.
I've been hoping to find that dude on a piece of toast so I can make some bank. Can you hear me praying Jesus? , I'll even take you on a tortilla.
For your consideration:
Acts 17:24-27-
"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands.
And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.
From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. "
BLASPHEMY.
You need to renounce your pagan false god and beg for forgiveness from The Flying Spaghetti Monster.
I pray that he will help you find Him.
LOL just kidding.
The Flying Spaghetti Monster is OK with you not believing in him. He doesn't really mind that you believe in a false god. Really, he's not that conceited. Just be a good person and he's OK with it.

So he gets into heaven? Even without knowing or worshipping?
Sooo, since your statement "science was always seen as the enemy of the church" is patently false, should I treat everything as such as well?
