| ATHEISM AND SCIENCE |
| Tuesday, December 21, 2004 |
Johnnypain, (If you leave a comment, Johnny, please leave the URL to your website--I usually access you through ebloggy control panel, and it never tells me your URL), a friend of mine and fellow 'blogger made the following comment to one of my posts. Johnny is an atheist, and I respect his right to his beliefs--we have had great discourse and I know that he will not mind me posting his comments here along with my response.
Johnnypain:
"There is hardly any proof that the major minds of our times believe in religion. THis denigrates all of the scientists who do not--which is most of them. The dismissal you make of atheists is assuming a lot to us, just as Rooney assumes a lot to you. And jack, saying people who lived in the past believed something -- like your so called great minds of the past, is like saying all men are rascists because thier forefathers were. Just doesn't hold up as a real arguement. Rooney's words sound right to me."

Hi Johnny! We have electricity as we know it today because of an scientist who was a Christian. The Big Bang theory was proposed and developed by a Christian. The father of modern genetics and genome research is a Christian. Copernicus, Galileo, Descartes, Newton, Boyle, Faraday, Mendel, Kelvin either all Christian or believed in God. Darwin himself even said it was impossible to theorize a universe without a designer. Encyclopedia Britanica: "Firmly denying atheism, Einstein expressed a belief in "Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the harmony of what exists."
The reason I wanted to post this was to point out that Medicine's scientists, (Doctors) largely believe in a higher being, designer or creator as posted previously. But more importantly, scientist who are atheists and refuse to insert one variable into their test of theory are not objective and therefore not truly scientific.
That one variable is intelligence.
For refusing to hypothosize the existence of an alternative intelligence or force, atheistic scientists have put restrictions on their experimentation. Could we find the Higgs Bosun if scientists were less blinded by bias? Could we make more advances in genetic structure and dna research if they would inject the intelligence variable into their experimentation?
The problem with atheistic scientists is that they have REMOVED a variable from the mix by virtue of their exclusion. This is a bias any TRUE scientist should avoid. If not, their credibility, method and conclusions are suspect.
(I say this with all due respect for Johnny's opinion. Johnny has proven himself to be more than intelligent--and a good fellow debator!)

"Snipet" (pronounced: snipe - it) is not a word.It is a derivative of two words: "Snipe" and "Snippet".
Miriam Webster defines Snipe as: to aim a carping or snide attack, or: to shoot at exposed individuals (as of an enemy's forces) from a usually concealed point of vantage.
Miriam Webster defines Snippet as: : a small part, piece, or thing; especially : a brief quotable passage.
In short, "Snipets" are brief, snide shots at exposed situations from a concealed vantage point.
WARNING! With due reverence to the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment there is NO comment policy on the News Snipet.
