Why It's So Hard for Scientists to Believe in God? | Francis Collins | Big Think

science is gouging out nasal flesh and leaving patients to suffer empty nose syndrome

science is smashing holes in the orbitol bone to sever parts of the brain

science is torturing beagles

science is about testing drugs on people then covering your asses when people file litigation

Where did belly buttons come from...?

Faith is the belief in magic without any evidence. Damn right it should be resisted.

Demon scientist Stephen Hawking is on the Epstein list. And now is in hell.

I always look into that imaginary camera when I hear an atheist say, “The universe provided me with this and that” Like ITS STARING YOU RIGHT IN THE FACE! The universe isn’t a conscious intelligent being that tests you, provides gifts for you, or gives you messages. It’s obviously God! An actual conscious and intelligent being.

I met a man who asked strange questions why a God who created this universe had to go hiding himself from his creation as much as possible and never directly communicating them but always needing a medium and a special human medium?,,,,,,these questions are quite complex and almost impossible to answere just say the combination of the two opposites now here... the world is dark no it is bright,,,,,God needs things.....no he does not .......God is personel or partial no he is not...if all knowledge comes from God and science is also the same knowledge than why dont science prove him.....and the only answer I could give him is that religion asks you to close your eyes shut ear,shut reason and thought and just believe silently and blindly what is being ordered indirectly.

I and my father both are scientists and both religious. There is no conflict between my faith and science. However, try telling that to the atheist McDonald's worker who loves to troll. A real genius, that guy. 😂 Are there scientists who do have a problematic conflict? Sure, but they are very far and few between. As a matter of fact, the majority of scientists polled believe in a creator by a slim margin, but psychologists say many in science won't admit it in polls. Even with that, we hold the majority, which I find ironic since the public mostly thinks scientists are atheist machines of some kind. We are people, too. Two different realms, science and faith, but there is no reason to think they are exclusively incompatible.

Science never speaks without proof and it does not rest untill it simply deny a thing that does not exist or come up with that thing for you to see,touch,use,and more such as all aeroplanes,or rockets or modern mobiles and computers.

Science requires evidence...

Even Nietzsche said that "science can not explain the world, only describe it.

That nothing, neither science or religion is free from criticism and that neither one can replace the other

So basically, God doesn't exist but it probably does. All riiiiiiiight pretty cool, pretty cool, pretty cool

I didn't like how when my elderly mother had her ministroke, her second it would seem, that the doctors couldn't confirm to me that her synchronous conversion to christianity with the first one, wasn't because of the stroke. I can see how her dignity of faith was involved, but still, if they are scientists, they must know that I was right, that she didn't see god, she had a stroke. They told me to speak to the neurologist, but Mom didn't let me in on that appointment. SHe will avoid anything that challenges her faith.

It's sad when a scientist, who should have been trained in critical thinking and doing whatever it takes to avoid fooling yourself, gets seduced by comforting fairy tales that tell him that he will survive the death of his brain. I wish him well on his spiritual journey. Perhaps he will one day see the light and rediscover the magic of reality.

It seems to me that science requires empirical evidence in order for it to work and there is no empirical evidence for God's existence. Of course there is no proof for God's non-existence, either, because you can not prove a negative. If God is spirit then he is beyond science's ability to find him.
Atheists are doing the very same thing they have been accusing believers of for centuries, namely accepting something with insufficient evidence. Furthermore, they excuse themselves from having to produce proof to prove their ideas claiming that it's the religionists who are trying spread their ideas so the onus of proof is them. Have you ever heard Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens speak or read their books? Are they not proslitysing?
It seems to me that the only honest position for a nonbeliever is agnosticism. They admit they do not believe nor disbelieve because there is insufficient proof either way. Atheists claim beliefs without sufficient proof and conveniently excuse themselves from having to provide it.

Good grief what a load of horse manure, much like the bible itself. This is the utter nonsense that Christianity asserts is the truth:

That the Creator of the Universe, 13.8 billion years ago, decided to crawl up inside a virgin girl's poon hole in ancient Palestine, 2,000 years ago, and deposit his cosmic seed into her quivering uterus. Because apparently God felt fatherhood calling for the first time in nearly 14 billion years. Yep, God wanted to be a dad. And apparently none of the female Homo Sapiens who walked the Earth during the previous 300,000 years had poon-tang with a sweet enough smell to attract YAHWEH and arouse his mighty penis.
And the reason for God desiring a son was because he needed the proper human to be nailed to a chunk of wood and be savagely beaten to death as some kind of idiotic and revolting blood sacrifice for the supposed sins of his own creation. Because nothing says forgiveness quite like the blood of a barbaric human sacrifice. Right?...... Don't 'ya just feel the love!!?
So then, supposedly 3 days after the sadistic human sacrifice, the Creator of the Cosmos reanimated the carcas of his son so he could trot around among a small group of ignorant, superstitious peasants as though to say.."Hey fellas, lookie here what I just did! I just brought a 3 day old sack of bones back to life! Aren't you impressed!!?  Doesn't that prove what a bad ass God I am? And if you want, I can crawl up inside another virgin's poon hole and do it all again for you!"

This is the lunacy that Christians proclaim is 100% true. A god that ignores humankind for thousands and thousands of years before deciding that the time was right to start hanging out with a group of superstitious goat-herders in the Middle East desert, commanding them to adhere to primitive, evil beliefs, all while completely ignoring the lives of the other 170 million people who were living on Earth at that time.
Every part of the Christian story is absolute bat-shit crazy nonsense. Christianity is a cult of human sacrifice. Specifically the blood of a human sacrifice. And no sane, rational person walking this Earth in 2023 should attach themselves to such immoral, caveman lunacy.
So Christians, I implore you to find the nearest physician that specializes in lobotomies and schedule your appointment immediately. Perhaps they will offer you a discount due to your mental illness.
May Zeus bless you!

Number one bullshit guy

The problem with philosophy is that contrary to many popular belief's it most definitely has a cut-off point to where it becomes a useless series of "contemplation's" if you will. The same goes for how irreconcilable Faith and Science are in almost every aspect from their practices to their forms of study and adherence. The question of Why? often leads absolutely nowhere, but people being people the placebo effect of at least the "potential" answer's of such a question is very tasty to people especially when they're agonizingly bored. Religion's primary weapons are attribution to forces that people usually deliberately choose not to understand to any true degree, and vagaries to cover up the fact that the earth is an absolute hellhole half the time by our own hand or nature's. Philosopher's prattle endlessly about the "peaceful" existence of nature when ACTUAL nature is a blood-soaked battle royale where creatures of all shapes and sizes tear each-other to pieces or violate each-other's mates for survival's sake in the best case. In philosophical standard's the Earth is beautiful chaos incarnate.

Atheist be like

Ghost, demons , posessions = believable
Science = believable


Religion = "floating guy in the sky? Naaaa"
You cant have ghost, demons, possessions etc without god. All the prooof we have on video is enough to show us there are things science can't explain. So by default god is real

There is zero scientific evidence for the existence of any god, but some religious people are hung up on their favorite gods being literal entities and their myths being concrete realities on the same level as electromagnetism, gravity and other physical forces. They fail to realize that gods are symbolic characters in the dramas we create about our own desires and fears. Just because God is a product of human thought does not mean God isn't real-- language, law and art are also products of the human mind.

Arrogance. Science is a process and not a belief system like it has become. It has almost become a religion itself and if anyone disagrees or has a religion they are prosecuted like heretics

The problem is all major religions have a text to follow and they all claim the text is true and without error. When science finds that the texts are in error, it’s no longer different questions. The origins of life is not philosophical. The origin of the universe is not philosophical. Evolution is not philosophical.

Nature is more beautiful without a God. The idea of God is a cheap shot. you virtually learn nothing and just as ignorant as you were in the beginning. God is dead.

It is not "hard" for scientists to believe in gods or any other supernatural characters, if they wanted to they would, for emotional reasons, not rational ones.

Athiesm is fastest growing club and it will rule the world

The thought of Darwin in the afterlife both ecstatic that his theories are correct and bewildered that hes there is very funny

Okay, so there are many books that claimed to be Holy - whatever that means. There is the bible. First book in the Bible there is this talking snake. Right off the bat we have a problem. Is there a talking snake, or did humans make up a story? If you think it is a story, then how are you supposed to get truth out of the book? How do you know which parts of the book are true and which are myth? There's also that story about that guy coming back from the dead. Either you believe that someone was resurrected, or you don't. For years now, I find one of the most disturbing things are adults who believed in made up stories.

So I think this guy believes in a creator but not the same one that asked for foreskin to be cut

ASI COMO CIENCIA ES CIENCIA Y ATEISMO ATEISMO.

CIENCIA VS RELIGION
CIENCIA ES CIENCIA, RELIGION RELIGION.

A MI NO ME GUSTA QUE ME DIGAN DIOS O MAS QUE DIOS, ESTA MAL, NO EL CREER O NO CREER EN DIOS.

ES PREFERIBLE LA BURLA¨ EN LA FE QUE PRETENDER SER LO QUE UNO NO ES, VERDADERO PROFETA

ES QUE LOS ATEOS SE BURLAN MUCHO DE LA GENTE EN LA FE. PERO QUERIDO DATE CUENTA NO ES POR TU POSTURA DE LA FE EN SI SINO QUE TE HACEN RAZONAR QUE VOS TAMPOCO Y MENOS NO SOS DIOS NI MAS QUE DIOS. NO TENDRIAN RAZON? MHH?

ES QUE LOS ATEOS SE BURLAN MUCHO DE LA GENTE EN LA FE. PERO QUERIDO DATE CUENTA NO ES POR TU POSTURA DE LA FE SINO QUE TE HACE RAZONAR QUE NO SOS DIOS NI MAS QUE DIOS.

NO ES LO MISMO NEGAR AL QUE NO EXISTE, QUE EL NEGARSE EN EL QUE NO EXISTE.

VOS SOS INCREDULO, AH AL INFIERNO. A VOS TE PARECE QUE ASI ES EL QUE NO EXISTE MHHH?

NO SE MAL CAPTE POR FAVOR.

ENTIENDAN QUE PRETENDER EVIDENCIAR A DIOS ES COMO QUERER SER DIOS O MAS QUE DIOS, NADA MAS, SI NADIE EN ESE CRITERIO ESTA CON PRETENSION DE CURVAR LA FE E INCREDULIDAD.

NO JUZGUEIS SI NO KERP+ÉIS SER JUZGADOS, DE ELLO SE TRATA, NADA MAS K DE LIBERTAD DE PERSONA

EL K NO EXISTE OBRARA NO VOS, NO IMPORTA NO HAYA CREIDO NI SE LE IMPONE ELLO

Y CUANDO HAY GENTE K MENCIONA DE CONDENAS POR HABER SIDO INCREDULA NO ES ESO SINO K LE HAN MAÑADO A TAL SER BIEN SERES VIVITOS Y POR ENDE QUE RESPIRAN

SERIA LO MISMO K DECIRLE VOS ATEO AL ATEO PORQUE ESPERAS GRACIAS DESPUES, ES LO MISMO

RELIGIONES HAY POR AQUI Y POR ALLA, QUE TIENE QUE VER MHH?

AHH Y SI HAY GENTE QUE TE CONTRAPONE DICIENDO QUE SOS TONTO QUE TE PORTAS BIEN POR TEMOR O PRETENDER RECIBIR GRACIAS DE LOS CIELOS, ESTAREMOS MAS PROPENSO A DECIR QUE ESAS SON FALACIAS, PORQUE ESTAMOS MAS ACOSTUMBRADOS SIENDO TANTO CREDULOS COMO INCREDULOS A RECIBIR POR DOQUIER DESGRACIAS MAS QUE GRACIAS.

POR ESO SE DIJO QUE CUANDO POR EJEMPLO UN ATEO ESTA EN AGONIA, LE AMENAZA LA GENTE CREDULA Y ENTONCES PARECE MAS INCREDULA QUE EL INCREDULO EN TODA SU VIDA.

INCLUYENDOME

UY HABLAN MAL DE DIOS, ESO LO DICEN LOS QUE DE ELLOS LES ACUSAN PORQUE LOS QUE DE ELLO LES ACUSAN NUNCA SE HAN VISTO CUANDO ESCUPEN A LOS CIELOS POR TRIBULACIONES.
