Evidence for God from Science

Many atheists I know, believe in ghosts, spirits, conscience after death, karma, telepathy, homeopathy, astrology, aliens etc... while I agree that number of people do reject scientific findings, I also think that to associate this number directly to a certain religious community is wrong. Many in ...

When you say "people", which people are you talking about? The majority of people I know either accept scientific discoveries or simply are indifferent towards them. It's rare that I run into people who reject the current scientific theories and the ones that I do reject it purely on thei...

What are you saying? People don't even believe scientists on topics (see list) with massive supporting evidence. So what makes the Huffington Post author, or anyone else, think that scientists' obviously speculative musings on the universe's ultimate questions in the popular press is going to "...

I liked the ending summary There is absolutely nothing wrong with speculation in physics -- and the correct theories are eventually confirmed by experiment and observation. But it is definitely wrong -- misleading and dishonest -- to preach to an unsuspecting public, mostly uninitiated in science, ...

... PeteSinCA, Organizing organisms by a panoply of traits forms only one reasonable nested hierarchy. The leaves (organisms) on the tree (of life), grouped by branch and stem, form the nested hierarchy. Evolution, using only the assumptions of a common ancestor, variation, and bifurcating descent,...

No surprises here. Stu, In one of his lectures, (medical) Dr. Werner, who seems to be a YEC, claimed that geologists say that some polystrate trees stand vertically within rock layers that span millions of years. In my conversation with him afterward, I asked which geologist(s) made such an extraor...

Morny wrote: Thank you for correcting your statement to say _stellar_ evolution. Evolution and stellar evolution are different areas of scientific research. I didn't correct my statement. I just specified what type of evolution I was referring to. Stellar evolution is a kind of evolution. Certainly...

Neither the fact of evolution nor the theory of evolution says the universe is 13.7 billion years old. Astrophysics/cosmology estimates the universe's age. In general, Stellar evolutionists(see the word evolution there?) find the age of the universe to be 13.7 billion years old. y[-( Thank you for ...

What does the word "Theory" mean in the phrase "Theory of Evoloution?" A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method, and repeatedly confirmed through observation and experimentation. Ho...

Philip wrote:jlay and others using philosophy/logic terminology - I think it would be extremely useful for you (as did jlay here) to explain what such terms mean. Many may be unclear on their meaning/insertions in some posts.

Fair criticism. Which terms, which I may have used, aren't trivially found online?

jlay: Remember, NONE of this was observed. So what? Every day all of us, including scientists, juries, doctors, and biologists, make useful (and often life-saving) inferences based on evidence from unobserved events. The so what, is that the scientific method does not work like that. Please tell sc...

Byblos: The point is this: The scientific claim is that the chromosome 2 fusion in humans is an indication of common ancestry between chimps and humans. Yes, one of many indications, but an extremely important indication. For some time, scientists had known that chimps (and gorillas and orangutans)...

Morny, The problem, as is so often the case, is that those color graphics are NOT evidence. Remember, NONE of this was observed. And it is evident that the author of the article views the graphs as actual evidence, as do you. Again, question begging. Cool magic trick! Just a wave of the hand, some ...

I think the only point that Bill Nye is making here is simply that the Bible is not useful for discovering science. Science is a lot harder than reading a 2000 year old book with 21st century 20-20 hindsight. Neil deGrasse Tyson expresses the same idea in a more pragmatic way: Believe me, if the Bi...
