Can you provide a few names of these preachers? Bill Nye is one who comes to mind that you may have heard of. He earns a living teaching science, not practicing it. I don't know his background but he denies possibilities without all the information, which is not scientific thinking. Usually, though, it is people like some on this forum who like to say often "That never happened" when they don't have all the information and are not interested in the information. A real scientist knows he/she does not know everything about science or the universe and is willing to investigate or at least allow that they do not know everything. Science is about figuring things out and proving or disproving theories, not about declaring what is possible and what is not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a dog eat dog kind of world we all live in. And all kidding aside, we are all in hell already, some doing hard time, and others easy time. We have forgotten our crimes and the reason why we are here doing "time." And that is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God. We are prisoners of time........serving time. When we die we realize and remember our crimes, and we are quickly sent back here to serve out our sentences, if our time is not up. Those that have completed the sentence will not return here, and will be released to liberty in our blissful true world, free for the pursuit of our happiness. Commit another crime in our blissful state, and back here you come, for another pleasant stay at the hotel California. True love hurts for good! You almost sound like you think I deserve to be punished. Why do you think I deserve that ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have actually just watched several of Bill Nye's youtube videos and he is very entertaining and not denying anything. He did a good piece on why Noah's Arc is unbelievable as a literal story though. I will find the scientist I was thinking of when I have more time.

Science is about figuring things out and proving or disproving theories, not about declaring what is possible and what is not. I know of Bill Nye, I've watched his shows. He doesn't deny possibilities, his opinion is however evidence based. Like everyone's should be. I'm going to have to ask for examples of his denialism. Also Bill Nye might be an engineer by qualification, but he has far more of a scientific mind than the vast majority of people practicing. And a byproduct of science is being able to state the possibilities of events. Edit: No need to reply I've just seen your last message.

Wouldn't be much of a deity if the deity didn't invoke some punishment for not believing he was a deity. I mentioned Cogito Ergo Sum earlier, well the whole argument that, that saying is derived from would crumble away without the bedrock of that believe. Some people believe it so much that you not believing may crack or chip that bedrock. That bedrock must be eternal, thus beliefs in God must by their nature ensure that non believers are punished. No matter how good that non believer is. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
