I know a lot of you don't believe in Jesus or God.

>> No.1962390

since he is god (or however the christians delineate god/son of god/embodyment of god, etc)...


I would ask him the following questions:


1) what is a theoretical model to describe the correlation of electron motion in a nonrelativistic or only moderately relativistic system


2) what form of mathematics is necessary to reformulate the fundamental PDEs and ODEs of physics such that they can be solved analytically, even with high degrees of coupling and nonlinearity.
since he is god, he must have the answers...


I never asked anything about "evolution, just a geuss"

never asked anything about "pics of god or it didnt happen"
science is the equivalent of religion. we seek to understand god/universe by understanding the laws that underly it...

as an athiest I am offended by your comparison.

the difference is what was written in those bibles and torahs are simply made-up fairytales that pertain to human values and morales.

science doesn't care about human values. equations that form physics are the way they are because that is how we have observed them.

religion is the way it is because some guy sat down and made up a fairy tale to give people hope and faith, religion is NEVER OBSERVED in reality and god never has been and most likely never will be.

I'm an atheist, and I'm not offended by your comparison. I think there are a vast ocean of differences in the details between religion and science. Fundamentally, however, these are schools of thought where you take certain ideas as given truths (religion: my book is true; science: my senses are true), and develop a cosmology based on what you can conclude from these givens through a logic that is always tainted by subjective interpretation. I think science's objective truth is a lot more likely than the religifairytales, and I think scientists logic tends to be much more objective and rigorous than the clergy... which is why I don't participate in religion... but same fundamental process.

If some bearded fag with superpowers showed up saying he was Jesus, I'd ask for proof that he was
A) the Jesus of the Bible
B) the son of (or the actual) deity that created the universe.

After all, we are as gods to ants. Why can't there be any other beings in existence that are like gods compared to us? Being powerful doesn't automatically you the creator.

If he could prove that he was Jesus of the Bible, I'd ask him what he thought of the way his teachings had evolved into a religion, and of the direction that religion has taken.

If he could prove that he was the actual creator deity, I'd ask him why he created the universe, and why he is here now talking to me.

If he could prove that he was _both_ the creator deity and of the bible, I'd ask him why the bible is so inconsistent and contradictory; and I'd ask him why he made a universe where all rational inquiry seems to contradict his word.

Where the fuck did you learn that? The Dark Ages happened because the Roman Empire collapsed, and with it the mechanisms of the empire for generating wealth. It was like a great depression but on a much larger scale. Everyone had to go back to subsistence living, and culture and technology was lost because of it. The only place it was preserved was in the monasteries, which were still kept around by donations, and were the only place where intellectual thought and literacy were preserved. The regional powers that filled the power vacuum left by Rome took several hundred years to build up the economic powers that eventually made the Renaissance possible, with the help from the intellectual wealth that was preserved by monks through those centuries.

5 people wrote about Jesus who knew him while he was alive. A 6th wrote about him who knew him after he died. A 7th wrote about him from secondhand information. Of the 6 who knew him all of them wrote about miracles he performed. It was so well known that he performed miracles that it wasn't even brought up as evidence in his trial. It was also so well known that he performed miracles that when Paul was brought in front of King Agrippa for trial he said
"For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner."

There is more historical evidence for the life of Jesus, the miracles he performed, and his resurrection than there is for Plato and I bet you believe in him.

The problem with atheists is they first declare that God doesn't exist, then they discount the evidence.

You will literally believe ANY explanation as real before you accept that Jesus was real, performed miracles, and was resurrected and you'll proceed to fill pages with how wrong I am using whatever scanty evidence you can dig up.

Yes, obviously the opening of the Dark Ages was made possible by the collapse of the Roman Empire. I don't know anyone who would dispute that, and I don't know why you think I was.

However, over the centuries that make up the Dark Ages... the wars that occurred, the power structure that was allowed to flourish, and especially the scientific advancements that were fought and the strict adherence to a worldview that did not foster creativity throughout Europe... you don't think religion had anything to do with those?

your point the works of Plato and Socrates still hold ALL their influence even if the people themselves never existed. yet if Jesus never existed it would deal an incredible blow to Christianity everywhere.

I don't care if it was actually someone called Jim who wrote all their works, or a UFO with five aliens and an anal probe who wrote their philosophy, there philosophy is still important. also there is no evidence that Socrates ever existed, in fact they think it might have been another philosopher who printed his work in another name.

If I met Jesus, I would lure him to my house with offers of loaves and fishes. Once there, I'd tell him I have some barrels of water in the basement I'd love to have turned to wine, and if he'll do it for me I'll give all my sheckels to the widows and orphans. Once down in the basement I'll grab my son's T-ball bat and beat Jesus in the back of his head until I crush his occiput or perhaps just fracture his odontoid process. Once he was unconscious I'd drag him to the laundry room and cut his throat over the floor drain. I'd be sure to catch some of his blood in a bucket, I'll need it later. I'd clean his carcass saving the offal in a plastic bag, then quarter him and roast him with potatoes, onions and carrots... and some rosemary... all in my rather large oven. Then I'd invite 11 of my closest friends and one of my sneaky pretend-friends over for dinner, and we'd eat of his flesh and drink of his blood in remembrance of him. Then I'd collect all my friends' feces, and my own, and put it in the bag with all the inedible organs and table scraps from our holy feast.

Three days later I'd dump the bag of shit and organs and cooked bones in my driveway, get my video camera, and record the stinking, dripping pile as it ascends to heaven.

Then I'd post my video on youtube and profit from the ad revenues. Christianity for the win!

Where do you get this idea that scientific advancement was "fought" during the dark ages. That didn't happen. The Christian worldview is often considered as the reason that modern science developed where it did, because it holds that the universe is orderly, and can thus be understood from consistent reasoning -- just like the worldview of the ancient Greek philosophers.

The feudal system doesn't have anything to do with Christianity. They had a similar system in Japan at the time. It's just a political system.

A) ugh, really? Okay, the Dark Ages ended with the fall of the Roman Empire and ended with the proliferation of the Renaissance. I suppose the fact that a thousand basic scientific ideas, such as a heliocentric solar system, were being fought by the church in that time frame means nothing to you?

B) And no, Christianity did not invent the Feudal system. However, divine right was used as justification for the way it was being used in Europe. Who was on top and who was on bottom was not to be questioned, because God deems it so. And the people on the top were the ones doing (A).

As you were engaging me in a historical debate with some fervor, I thought maybe you were an educated individual with a different perspective than myself.

LMAO. When do you think Galileo lived? Protip: IT WASN'T DURING THE FUCKING DARK AGES. Heliocentrism didn't exist during the dark ages... but soon after the dark ages, the church was actually encouraging Copernicus's research of it.

I'm not sure you even understand what the feudal system was. It had little to do with divine right. It pretty much came straight down from roman empire thought about land ownership and war, which went unchanged from pagan rome to christian rome.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypatia#Death

"Believed to have been the reason for the strained relationship between the Imperial Prefect Orestes and the Patriarch Cyril, Hypatia attracted the ire of a Christian population eager to see the two reconciled. One day in March AD 415,[33] during the season of Lent, her chariot was waylaid on her route home by a Christian mob, possibly Nitrian monks[33] led by a man identified only as Peter, who is thought to be Peter the Reader, Cyril's assistant. The Christian monks stripped her naked and dragged her through the streets to the newly Christianised Caesareum church, where she was brutally killed. Some reports suggest she was flayed with ostraca (pot shards) and set ablaze while still alive, though other accounts suggest those actions happened after her death:"

- Galaxy shape can't be explain by using gravity unless science use retarded things like dark matter

What is done is done, stop living in the past you fart commanders.

Instead of whinning about christianity you could try and change something you know.

I know, you all should go on parade with your friend Dawking comparing the pope with hitler or literally calling christians retards.

Close example, but it wasn't a church act.

>> No.1963485

It's not "their" history though, it's our history. Atheists come from a long line of christians, and we can freely admit that knowledge was suppressed by our own ancestors in the name of an evil ideology. Hell, most of our own christian families would happily suppress knowledge even now if they could.

Truth may suck, but that doesn't make it untrue.

Academic recognition is still considered more important than religious or national biases (well not exactly, just to the point you can just admit "honest mistakes" instead of attrocious crimes).

What are you talking about. The murder of Hypatia wasn't a church act.

You're exposing yourself as biased by calling the campaign against the pagan religion a campaign against classical culture. That's just stupid. You further expose yourself as a complete moron by believing that Theodosius therefore destroyed the library at alexandria, when 1) it is preposterous on its face, and 2) history says otherwise.

you mean like:

and 33% tea party
and the duper-capitalist strongest 1% supporting the third in case of seperation between Tea Party and the more rational conservative groups?

I think it's pretty much lost cause.

Nope, most of the tea partiers are Republicans or Republican leaning independants. They're more likely to split the party than produce a solid force. They're distancing moderates as fast as they can.

Tea partiers are a good thing, so long as they're the loudest, dumbest christfags in the nation... which so far they seem to be.
