They will believe the completely unbelievable w/o any support of facts or the support of basic science what so ever. It's a lost cause to even argue with them, but it can be fun at times.
Many people turn to God for reasons that have nothing to do with their childhood or beliefs in science. It may be because of a critical incident in their life such as a serious injury, cancer, crime victim, losing a child, drug addiction, etc. Having faith makes life more colorful and provides a better avenue to accept loss. Science does not provide a sense of hope, but having faith in God will. Having a church family is another reason people may be involved in a religion.
I thought this was a good thread. I have learned something from everyone and thanks for sharing your info.
I hope the nonbelievers here will use this thread as a learning opportunity for personal development. Someday you may be at the end of your rope and need help. I wish you good luck in finding ways to stay positive and having hope as you pursue your journey in life.
And I hope the believers will stop and actually think deeper into what it really means to believe in such nonsense. Please watch this video and tell me how rational your beliefs are afterwards. Tell me how your "loving" god really stacks up. Church of the painful truth indeed.
I Trust Science More Than Religion
