    faith is an excuse for belief, not a reason.

    As I said, the egocentrism of 'science' is as profound as the egocentrism of those who believe in 'religion'.

    LOL!

    The highest level of reasoning understood by both parties.

    Faith is faith, IMO. I don't claim to understand it at all. At times I wish I had it, though.

    Um no. Even if the Universe is infinite the surrounding galaxies around us are moving away faster than the speed of light.

    You don't get it bruh. The Universe is expanding and this is a fact. A "theory" is M-theory or String theory, not this.

    There is definitive scientific proof that the Bible is Bullshit.

    If that book is unreliable so is the entire religion, imo. I still *think* there is a God but I don't know.

    According to the accepted teachings of the christianity myth, god is the most prolific mass murderer in the history of Earth. Somebody needs to drop a dime on that POS and get him off the street.

    Heaven is where I live, right here in Beautiful Central Oregon.

    I've not been to hell, but the farther away one gets from nature, the closer they get to hell.

    You're thinking two-dimensionally.

    The edge of the Earth is obviously orb-shaped, and is either where land and sea meet the atmosphere, or if you include the atmosphere as part of the Earth (as I do) then it's where the atmosphere meets space.

    You don't understand the concept of an "edge", "bruh". Plus, you just blew up Einstein's theory of relativity, and I doubt you know why.

    Um, you obviously haven't read my other posts in this thread.

    Hint - I don't believe in a God, but I don't disbelieve, either.

    As for Eintein's theory, it's on pretty shaky ground these days.

    HAMILTON COUNTY, Ind. - What were you doing when you were 12 years old?

    Playing video games? Dreaming of winning a Heisman Trophy? Maybe starting to show a little interest in the opposite sex?

    It’s probably safe to say you weren’t taking on Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.

    Well, that’s what 12-year-old Jake Barnet, of Hamilton County, Indiana, is proposing. Jake has become somewhat of an Internet star thanks to YouTube videos of his ideas about mathematics and physics, which his mom shoots and posts online.

    In one of the most recent videos, Jake discusses Einstein’s Theory of relativity, explaining in the description why he might have a different theory:

    “My initial perception from this is that light does have mass,” Jake writes. “Obviously, energy coming out of a system where light is emitted could not be conserved otherwise. You can correct me later if I change my mind, but for the moment this is my perception.”

    Jake has a mild form of autism, according to Time.com, and he also has an I.Q. of 170. He taught himself calculus, algebra and geometry in two weeks and graduated high school at the age of eight. He has been attending college-level physics classes since then.

    That's obviously pretty impressive for a 12 year old to say, but it's gibberish nonetheless.

    Definitive proof that you have yet to provide, as you obviously have information that no one else has. I also love that you think have the authority to call an entire religion bullshit. Want to take a swing at the questions I posed to you earlier?


    PS - "Scientific proof" is an oxymoron

    No, actually that's not the case (and yes, I doubt you know why). Here's why: special relativity doesn't apply to space itself.

    Few dared to question hitler either.

    god is like hitler. A domineering egomaniac who tortures all who refuse to grovel at his feet, and even some who do. Probably has short man syndrome too.

    In answer to Sinobas's question you definitely would torture your children with fire if they disobeyed you, because you fear god's wrath more than you love your children.

    Nice "religion" you've got there.

    Photons have no mass, otherwise they couldn't travel at the speed of light.

    The kid is wrong.

    Well, I guess you've got God all figured out, then. There's nothing more to say.
