Gravity is God pulling us towards the ground.

There, I demonstrated God, and it can be repeated. You cannot prove the existance of gravity, merely the effects it possibly is having upon matter. So, what you say is gravity, I could equally as legitimately say is God.

And before you think I'm an idiot, I have a degree in Math and Computer Science, so I am very much aware of science and it's methodolgies.

BV is probably the wise one, but I can't resist a fool.

First, learn to speallle "methodologies." Second, if you actually understood them, you would understand why your experiment is not testable. Which is one of the (several) fundamental ways that the scientific method is different from a belief system. But you knew that, right?

I'm pretty sure sound can't travel in space, therefore Clapton doesn't exist in space. I think I'm getting the hang of this religion stuff.

No, but radio waves can travel through space. Is Howard Stern still the self-appointed king of the radio?

Look up the definition of axiom, you know those pesky little things that are the basis of pretty much every mathematical and scientific proof, and tell me that is not a "belief".

Dude, are you sure you were a Math major?

I can't figure out if you're ESL, retarded, or I'm the victim of a really good parody.

Match the definition with the word

Axiom
Faith

A belief that is not based on proof.
A self-evident truth that requires no proof.

Sigh. And if you're missing the subtle difference, perhaps you should take a look at a more extensive explanation of an axiom:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom

It's the difference between a scaffolding that is used to build a house and then removed, leaving the house as proof of the scaffolding's effectiveness and a scaffolding that is constructed and then is claimed to hold up the sky.

That's it. I'll bite.

Kihaji. While most people can resist getting caught up in cognative dissonance you seem to be obsesive to no end. There is nothing grandeur with what your saying. Your just boggling your own mind. Is everything a quantum probability function just waiting for you to notice?? Is that what this is right here? Could you be arguing with nothing? Hey, if that's what you want to believe, fair enough. But let me (or could this be yourself?) be the one to point out that if that is the case, then you arguing about it looks pretty damn funny.

That’s exactly his point, for hundreds of years a whole system has been created to scare people into having faith in Jesus. The problem is that’s not how Jesus presents the life to come and how one participates in it. Rob is questioning long held assumptions about various Christian ideas and is finding out that Christians (or so call Christians) are really quick to publically crucify their own……..all in the name of “defending” the Bible/God…….like He needs it…….:rolleyes:
