| I hear you people always talking about it but how many of you people read about it and regularly study it? |

I typically only respect science's underlying principles.
Oh, and look, another deist. |

| I am athiest, though I don't like science. Too complicated for me. I prefer to let the others do it. |

| Atheists only use it as a tool. Science doesn't say god/s can't exist. |

Yes, but the religious leaders say that science denys the teaching of the Bible. |

You can't disprove the existance of something, it isn't possible.
That's why we assume something doesn't exist until proven otherwise. |

Well imagine the same thing for other religions, like the Quaran (Not sure if I spelled it right) |

| Science always accepts the possibility that some theory is wrong. |

Science and Religion do not contradict each other
They're not antonyms, and actually new atheists are only atheists because they hate religion, that's it, instead of trying to disprove religion, they simply argue that it is bad for society.. |

Let's see here...... hmm...
ht tp:// hypnosis. home. netcom. com/ images/_ iq_ vs_ religion. png
OH MY!!! who would have known that the less important religion is to you, the higher IQ you have! huh.
Science has shown atheists have a higher intelligence than people with a strong religious faith. The difference is 5.8 points according to findings in developmental psychology!!!
More members of the "intellectual elite" considered themselves atheists than the national average.
Only 7 percent of members of the American National Academy of Sciences believed in God. Whilst only 3.3 percent believed in God in the UK’s Royal Society.
Several Gallup poll studies of the general population have shown that those with higher IQ’s tend not to believe in God.
2. Neuroscientists have conducted the most comprehensive brain mapping to date of the cognitive abilities measured by the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), the most widely used intelligence test in the world.
The results show that the various factors that comprise a high or low IQ score depend on particular regions of the brain.
The WAIS test is composed of four indices of intelligence, each consisting of several subtests, which together produce a full-scale IQ score. The four indices are the verbal comprehension index, which represents the ability to understand and to produce speech and use language; the perceptual organization index, which involves visual and spatial processing, such as the ability to perceive complex figures; the working memory index, which represents the ability to hold information temporarily in mind (similar to short-term memory); and the processing speed index.
With the exception of processing speed, which appears scattered throughout the brain, the lesion mapping showed that the other three cognitive indices really do depend on specific brain regions.
For example, lesions in the left frontal cortex were associated with lower scores on the verbal comprehension index; lesions in the left frontal and parietal cortex (located behind the frontal lobe) were associated with lower scores on the working memory index; and lesions in the right parietal cortex were associated with lower scores on the perceptual organization index.
The study also revealed a large amount of overlap in the brain regions responsible for verbal comprehension and working memory, which suggests that these two now-separate measures of cognitive ability may actually represent the same type of intelligence, at least as assessed using the WAIS.
So whether the increased intelligence makes them atheist or being atheist makes them so much more intelligent, it appears their brains are developing faster and better!!
Evolution in action with Christians getting left behind like the monkeys and apes before them!!!
GASP! YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. IQ =/= intelligence nor rational thinking 2. A normal person off the street can be more rational than a scientist, thus that is flawed 3. One does not have to be in a religion to not be atheist 4. I was saying to that guy, How does that make you a atheist? As he assumes that only atheists do that. |

1. IQ = intelligence quotient 2. most scientists are atheists, "i think therefore i'm an atheist" making them most likely smarter than a normal person off the street, and secondly it takes a lot of intelligence to be a scientist 3. buddhism, etc etc are rational religions. theistic religions are not 4. what does this have to do with anything |
