The belief in god and the practice of religion are for those to weak to live in this world without the possibility of an afterlife. It gives people a since of false hope. Religion and gods were developed to explain what we could not. Science has explained much of it away but the “faithful” remain steadfast.

Ignorance is bliss I guess!!

I believe that creationism and evolution work together.

They are not mutually exclusive.

To believe totally in either to me is strange

You are wrong. People who murder in the name of "god" and "jesus" are far more dangerous than an atheist trying to talk sense. Most atheists aren't even public like christians, muslims or whatever, so I don't know how you go comparing atheists to idiots who knock on your door and ask for contributions.  ::)



they are fanatics. they don't represent the religion properly or even humanity properly.

I remember reading a paper on atheism and what type of society it creates. It isn't great. Shit, I can't remember. It wasn't from a religious source either.

All atheists regimes so far have been socialist. The honest truth is that most atheists are freedom loving people really have libertarian views on lots of things. Most are not agressive as TA, and could honestly care less about what others follow.

There NEVER has been true Socialism.  The closest, and they are miles upon miles off, are the atheist nations right now of Sweden,Norway, Denmark and Luxembourg.  Right now, they lead the world in just about every important area.

"God does not play dice." - Einstein on quantum theory.

You'll have more luck with a "the vast majority of..." approach.

Einstein was confronted with this and wrote that he does not believe in a personal "god". He was talking about the laws of nature.

I consider him pretty intelligent!

I'm actually surprised nobody has posted this yet.  A film I think all of you and the entire world for that matter should really watch.

Part 1 is pretty intriguing as he breaks down the Zodiac.

In college he was also an atheist. :)

He held nothing but an administration position for the Genome Project. FACT.

P.S. I have that issue of Discover Magazine. :)

HEHEHEH!! If he was an atheist in college, so what? Don't tell me that you are implying here that he came about his discovery merely because he was an atheist. If so, that is pretty naive. But, I digress. If he didn't believe in God at one time and now he is a believer, then that only means one thing.  He saw he light. He was INTELLIGENT enough to see the error of his ways. It completely destroys your litter theory.

Merely administrative? He LED the project. Who gets the credit for a company's success? The CEO or the person on the conveyor belt?  You act as if he was some sort of overglorified administrative assistant. There was no one higher than him on that project. Are you implying that anyone could have led that $3.7 billion project? Have you discovered any genes? How many genome projects are you feverishly working on?

If you have that issue of Discover magazine, try to read the articles. Go beyond the glossy little pictures.

Again. Don't deflect the question. Are you more intelligent than Mr. Collins? If so, make your case.

I gave my interpretation of his beliefs a few pages back, right or wrong.  I agree Einy didn't believe in a Giant Jew in the sky.

I thought it was his response to the predicted uncertainty of an electron's position and the probabilities of quantum theory in general.  Not so?  I don't know much about it so I welcome a correction if I'm wrong.



If we're going to look for a relationship between religious belief and intelligence (ugh, again with the intelligence thread), it strikes me that those who struggle with the question of God, his existence and his nature, are generally more intelligent than those who hold a fervent belief one way or another and reject any intellectual exploration of the topic.
