    • whiteface - what else does it show us?
      breadlegz
    • @breadlegz - It shows us a hell of a lot about our past & future.WhiteFace
    • How does Science show us our future?breadlegz
    • We can predict certain things based on fundamental rules/laws, physics etcWhiteFace
    • It explains, and helps us harness, most of what we don't see either, such as microwaves, electricity and medicinemonospaced
    • Religion thought plagues were the work of gods. Turns out they were just invisible germs. Fucking hell.monospaced
    • You can see microwaves, electricity etc.breadlegz
    • You can sense them, but you can't "see" them.monospaced
    • You can measure them.breadlegz
    • ...hoppa74
    • Exactly, science allows us to measure and explain things we can't see also. Like gravity.monospaced
    • So how do you measure love, peace, hate, ethics... ?breadlegz
    • That's an interesting question. Science does have many ways of measuring those, but religion has none.monospaced
    • Religion isn't a measuring system. So why would it?
      breadlegz
    • Exactly. Therefore, science is at odds with religion. Science explains things seen and unseen, while religion guesses.monospaced
    • religion only speculates.monospaced
    • Does science explain if Jesus existed?breadlegz
    • Absolutely! Why?monospaced
    • So did he exist?breadlegz
    • Evidence points to yes. That doesn't mean he was the son of god or worked miracles though. Those are just myths.monospaced
    • How do you know they are just myths? Has him being the son of God been tested?breadlegz
    • LOL.monospaced
    • I think that's as far as we can take this conversation. I've enjoyed it muchly.breadlegz
    • Can we be friends now?breadlegz
    • Stone cold classic.hoppa74
    • Aside from the Bible, Jesus is mentioned in one or two ancient texts and that's it.reanimate
    • There's no further evidence that he existed, scientific or not.reanimate
    • Monospaced said he did exist.breadlegz
    • I said evidence points to his existence, not that he did.monospaced
    • siddhartha, the christ, vishnu, Mohammad all men with their own perception followed by weak minded individuals not strong enough to find their own path.teh
