Btw do you think atheists always need answers for everything? I think atheists can be okay without knowing the answer. The religious people are the ones who always wants an answer(wrong answer counts) and they always explain thinks they can't explain as "god's creation/mystery/whatever"
No I certainly don't have have all the answers, the people that think they do are a huge problem.
I can understand the need for an explanation, but I simply don't have that need, although I like to know how things work. But if we as humantiy don't know I don't think its so bad.
Yeah, if you try to change the facts because of your believe we have a problem. If your religion can adapt to new facts (or live besides them) I don't really care.
People created god as an explaination of how the world is created and maintained. People who do science really knows that we can't know everything for sure, and are familiar and okay with not knowing that thing.
I said we cant know everything but we must be okay with that. Religion just takes something they see and put the "god made this" label and refuses to question god.
If religious people don't have that need for explaination, would they belive god created everything? Aren't they okay with saying "we don't really know how everything was created"?
Religion usually explains with something wrong and the followers simply take it as real truth. Don't say atheists are the ones who need explaination for everything
There is no one religion and they sure don't handle conflicts with science the same way, so which one are you talking about?
For example, Buddhism in its core is accepting of change in the world and aims to adapt.
Which is "your" religion? I'm pretty sure it isnt Buddhism. I am talking about whatever religion that puts "god" as almighty and the one who made everything including us.
I dont have one, but its an important part of peoples lives, so i think about this stuff.
The point being, that i have less issues with that way of resolving conflicts between your believes and scientific facts.
Thoose "god belivers" are like against spirit of science. Not scientific facts but scientific spirit of accepting that we have much more things to know and cannot put a god as someone who made everything the way it is, without questioning.
Some might be, but certainly not everyone. Religious people are also individuals
I am saying this about the fact that people belive "god made everything". I do understand religious people are individuals and i am targeting the belief in god not the individuals
