/sci/ - Science & Math

[Anonymous No.1705317]

When I was a kid I was being forced to go to church, and being the rebellious hardcore teen I was, I told them that god had no proof. Some christfag started arguing with me and eventually he said nothing is absolute certain. I said I agreed, except for math, and he asked me to prove math exists.

I thought that religious people were trolling ever since I was four.
Or rather, I thought they were testing me, to see if I had any intelligence whatsoever.

I miss my childhood ignorance.

I didn't understand the process of natural selection until I was like. Eighteen? In my defence they never really taught it in high school. They were just like, evolution happens.

This seemed too cliche to be true, but this really happened:
>if god doesn't exist, then why does the bible say he's real?
because the bible is wrong
>how can it be wrong, it's god's word!
how do you know it's god's word?
>because god himself said so!
where does he say that?
>in the bible!
Christians are the most ignorant people I've ever met. I try usually not to debate religion because whenever I say I am studying physics at a university, they jump on my ass and try to argue with me, but sometimes I entertain them when I'm bored.

Sounds like that Christfag is on the way to accepting agnosticism as well. Good show.

People are the most ignorant people you've ever met. You got blinders on son. And those Christians were only so called. Do you believe the 13 year old punk in your neighborhood with the skateboard is an actual anarchist?

It just really tends to be christians. The way I see it, there are intelligent christians in denial, intelligent or dumb christians who just don't pay attention to their religion, or really fucking dumb christians that just don't get it.

I met the last one.

Also, is there really an argument for what OP said? It's very obvious math exists, but how would you put that argument into words?

I once had a guy tell me that the theory of evolution was more than just a theory. So I asked him why it wasn't called the law of evolution. He was silent.

human theories of maths exist in the same way that the theory of relativity exist - codified knowledge.

the shit it describes, the natural maths as it were, is anywhere from periodic table shit, qm, planetary orbits...

Checkmate, Atheists.

>Creations need a creator. God is the creator, end of argument.
I was absolutely disgusted at this point. I went on to show him why that was a retarded statement, and, as usual, he began preaching about random shit/insulting me so I left.

Also, this thread will mostly involve arguments with religious people...

This girl in my history class thought Japan was the capital of china, I didn't know what to do. She also thought that atoms didn't exist because you couldn't see them.

This was in 7th grade so we were still young, but damn, that's no excuse.

Just about everyone in my intermediate believed Asia was a country. It make sense, I suppose, as does all children's logic. Australians come from Australia, Americans come from America, so where do Asians come from? But of course.

A creationist once argued that praying proves god existed, because you can't pray to something that doesn't exist. I said so praying to unicorns proves they exist, and they shut up and fucked off.
We were 20.

I grew up as a fundamental christian in the midwest. I still look back and can't believe how stupid I was. I was just talking earlier today about how glad I am that I got over the fear that satan was tempting me everytime I questioned the bible.

i grew up in a gifted program with the top 2% smartest kids from the district. there were 12 or 13 of us my same age, and only 2 that I know of ever went to church.

i didn't realize until my late teens just how dumb and religious most people are. it sucked.

I had more than one Sunday School teacher tell me that there was no evidence that dinosaurs actually ever existed, and that the "theory" of dinosaurs was just the atheist scientists attempts to try and disprove the bible.

I was in one of those groups. We had one religious guy, a Mormon. He had issues.

[Anonymous No.1706410]

I was 14 years old back then, my parents sent me to a Catholic school. I was the only atheist there, and at the end of church:
Me: I fucking hate church, the priests are absolute dumbasses.
Classmate 1: They're not dumb, they're preaching the word of God.
Me: Exactly, and the Bible is full of contradictions.
Classmate 2: Well, just don't take the Bible literally.
Me: So the Bible is a joke?
Classmate 1: No, the stories are true, just don't take the stories literally and it will make sense.

Then we got cut off because our teacher had an announcement.

This.

If evolution is true, why isn't it called the law of evolution?

Much like the laws of gravity? The laws of physics?

there's a lot of evidence to back up evolution though. doesn't mean it's completely false.....

Most of the christian kids I know believe that atheism is satanism.

Wait what the fuck, not just the kids. Almost every christian I know believes this.

How's this for ignorance?

My mother is conversing with her lover. He tells her that he is having trouble checking his voicemails. She tells him it is because of Jupiter. Some astrology bullshit.

Because the laws of Physics are constant and Evolution is variable with parallels and tangents across different species.
