Last Monday at New York's Pierre Hotel, outspoken atheist Christopher Hitchens and physicist/theologian Monsignor Lorenzo Albacete met to tackle the question of whether or not science makes belief in God obsolete. According to the forum's hosts, Newsweek editor Jon Meacham and Washington Post columnist Sally Quinn, religion riles its vilifiers when it makes truth claims without evidence -- at least evidence that would hold up in a court of science. The conflict seems to stem from a difference in understanding as to what evidence and truth truly are.
To Maven. I am a person who believes in whats right and good and pleasing to everyone else. It happens to make me live in happiness. Coincidence? Well I can tell you that the people who don't care about others are the ones that make decisions like you say. They are the ones who created Science Vs Religeon. Do these people think that Christians don't believe in science? No. What motive then?
If you thought the rise of petroleum caused global economic upheavals, just wait until we start producing electric-car batteries in mass quantities. That's the warning from Glenn Bell, CEO of Air Fuel Auto. Bell told reporters at this weekend's Alt Car Expo in Santa Monica the need for precious metals and other raw materials for next-generation batteries could have a ripple effect on the global economy. Of course, Bell isn't a passive observer; he's got his own answer to the alternative-fuel question. You're breathing it.
I seen a live demonstration of this from someone at a car show trying to get some attention. I believe that we we're near the Lamborghini's. This was not that long ago and It worked in front of my eyes on a small scale. So get some college boys and some popularity and we could see some engineering, maybe.

Ian1108 I absolutely believe in evolution. The bibles teachings don't reference time like you say. Foremost Adam could have lived for a billion years in the garden. He was aged from when he left this place. So every part of evolution works. Don't forget that when people were more innocent. They were closer to the lord. So every part of the linguistic origins makes sense. They would not have needed as much like animals evolving from lesser... Their knowledge has led them here. Evolution and The Big Bang both follow idea's of God, and the bible. I like the facts about Space and mention of Plate Tectonics, Geology and Astronomy. Religion only has a Knack for interfering with science when you turn it into a science which it is not. It's about seeing what is good like people, idea's, lifestyles, personalities. Everything that made you grow up and choose anger or happiness. Everything that makes an animal, content seem so amazing.

Well I have never lost an argument under estimating the intelligence of an Atheist. I say now that all should test the nature of debates between Science and Religion. What fuels them is the fact that Atheists are so frustrated. While Christians, for example, are content. Atheists try to argue using science. which, in my opinion, almost obviously proves God exists. You can pose many examples. I like to use Thermodynamics. Therein, our first law, everything moves to a state of disorder. Under this Law, our fuel, Hydrogen is abundant. The universal energy source. So if time were cyclic? We would have no Sun and we would have run out. The red shift, Doppler effect, proves the singularity or origin, If you will. The Bible states that the stars will fall from the sky. In one of it's most confrontational verses. Which explains the reversion to this singularity. Research the literal translations of the bible from Hebrew. As John Clayton stated. The Beginning of Genesis actually reads in English, That for which there were none before created the heaved up things. Heaved... and, when written, they had no ideas about a theory as complex as the Big Bang. Not until 1934 or so. That's always a fun debate. Can of worms, anyone.
