There are great things happening all over the globe scientifically and I learned about basic biology, meteorology, chemistry etc etc before going into any sort of higher education. The crap Bill Nye goes on about is barely even that intellectual comparing it to the subjects I learned in school which is all about "best guess" and never assuming something is 100% correct or right - always question everything. If Americans are being taught that something is 100% right and something else is 100% wrong with no second guessing or questioning then simply put: the American education system is flawed and the country is filled with unimaginative biased bigots.

Science does not hate religion or anything else, nor does it prohibit any beliefs, because it's not a belief system or an organization. It's a method of cataloging information about the world around us. That's it. Saying that science hates or prohibits anything is like saying the dewey decimal system hates book titles and wants to keep us from alphabetizing things. It doesn't hate or want anything, it's just a system. The ones who hate religion are not priestsof science, they're people who've seen what the evidence says, and see others ramming clearly false shit down their communities' throats. Or make laws based on it. Second, on the "refuse to let people believe what they believe". That's just silly, come on.

>> [_] Anon 2820812 >># This science vs religion argument is beyond stupid. This world is full of misunderstandings about religion, and people who oppose religion. One of the reasons for that is because religions that abuse faith are also spreading. It's an unfortunate matter. Originally religion was something used to support emotional growth. Just like sports players use the latest theories to train their bodies to perfection, to become emotionally rich and feel happiness you need to use theories and morals, which is what religions are for. In Gensokyo just like the outside world, our duty is to make sure people don't become successful yet emotionally immature.

He's a reasonable guy, and you're just sad he's not trying to be painfully charismatic all the time. Just accept it.
>> [_] Anon 2715184 I don't see any problem with what he said other than maybe saying it was unique to the United states.　I mean even then it's probably bigger here than any other first world country but that's irrelevant.

No problem letting people hear everything and decide what they want to follow when they get older. Not every kid who hears about religion believe it when they get older.

>> [_] Anon 2663524 >># Intelligent design makes no sense though. God seems to be playing his fiddle pretty damn arbitrarily for a grand plan.
>> [_] Anon 2663528 >># I like to think of the universe as one big, elaborate arrangement of dominoes. Intelligent design is the hand that set them all up, the big bang is the first domino falling and everything that follows is the cascade of kinetic energy flowing through the design. Anything that happens falls within the margin of error and while not every thought and tiny action will have significance, the broad strokes and monumental occasions will occur exactly as they should. Buying a cup of coffee or getting into a car accident and killing some kid aren't going to affect the grand scheme because the grand scheme is much larger than that. It's kind of a weird fusion between pre-destination and free will. We have the freedom to control our own lives and actions but the overall whole of history and society is on a set path.
>> [_] Anon 2663536 >># a lot of christians i know DO homeschool.
>> [_] Anon 2663548 >># It just seems like you've decided that the way things must be is the point of compromise between evidence you can't dismiss and what would make you uncomfortable. You want to believe intelligent design played a part in the big bang but you're uncomfortable with the idea that it would mean you lack free will, so you've found a middle point. The assumption you've subconsciously made is that the universe behaves in a way that you're comfortable with when a far more likely scenario is that it doesn't.
>> [_] Anon 2663555 >># I see why you may think that but truth be told I find it an uncomfortable thought. Traditional religion holds that every action and event is a part of the grand scheme. If you fuck up and fail a class or get your girlfriend pregnant, it's all in God's plan and everything will work out right. From my view, not being able to rely on some grand scheme to get you through the rough patches is a whole lot scarier because it shifts the responsibility from some omnipotent, benevolent entity to you with all your flaws.
>> [_] Anon 2663558 >># Maybe, but it's what frees me. Don't be a weak-ass pussy. The world belongs to you, you're what you can make out of everything you have. You only have one life. Don't spend it wasting time wondering if you'll regret anything.

>> [_] Anon 2663572 >># My aunt wanted to pull her 10 and 12 year old daughters out of school to be homeschooled because 'God told her to'. Neither of the girls wanted to be pulled, nor did she have the money to be able to freakin' pay for a private tutor (she wanted to bring in one of her church friends to teach them), so her ex husband took her to court over that shit. Thankfully, he won, and the girls now are able to get a real education, for whatever little that counts for in the US.
>> [_] Anon 2663574 >># It's what makes him a Hard Deterministic. Your same statement could be said back at you for not being able to come to the realization that you aren't in control of your life, and you just have to suck it up and understand that you have no free will.
>> [_] Anon 2663576 There is no fate but what we make In all seriousness, I've seriously considered taking courses in apologetics just to be better equipped for discussions like this. I love to argue just for the sake of the argument and it seems like apologetics would help.
>> [_] Anon 2663578 >># This is why people are prone to religious doctrine. They want to act in the present and enjoy themselves but want to be exempt of consequences however they come. It really makes me wonder sometimes why religious people are against contraceptives, it lets them dodge a massive bullet. Believing in religion lets you misplace your fear for the sake of comfort. But you dont actually fix or confront your personal problems by doing so. My friends mom is a catholic and a hoarder. They are very poor. She buys 20 pairs of shoes she will never wear. Their apartment is dilapidated clutter. She is very religious and begs at church for money to make payments. God didnt stop her from getting evicted 5 times before that.
>> [_] Anon 2663579 >># I've already little control of my life as it is, I could give a shit whether or not I have free will. Not a big stretch to submit to that idea if it's indeed irrefutably correct. He's still a pussy bitch. :^)
>> [_] Anon 2663584 >># I don't know any sane person, religious or not, who thinks contraceptives are a bad idea. Don't knock the faith: it's the neurons that are the things that aren't working in this case. God's not a "get out of jail free card". He's not an excuse for anything, either. Christianity is supposed to be a path to self-improvement. Unfortunately there are lot of people out there with crap-for-brains who think they can just proclaim that they're Christian and hope this means that they don't need to put any effort in to fix their life.

>> [_] Anon 2663590 >># Determinism doesn't mean that you aren't in control. It means that what choices you make were able to be forseen by anyone who knew the starting position of everything that exists at the beginning of the universe, and not influenced by any sort of "true random" such as what people seem to think free will to be.

>> [_] Anon 2663600 why are americans so fucking dense? When I was a child I was taught creationism because my infant mind wouldn't be able to understand evolution. Once I was older I was taught in the same school we were taught the theories of catastrophism, then lamarckism, darwinism and neo darwinism
