Evidence for God from Science

Homosexuality, in priniciple, is self-destructive? In what way?

Ok, well my question still has gone unanswered... does anyone else care to address the topic at hand? And I am not trying to pick a fight here, but I would like to see what would happen if you told the mathematician/statistician who came up with that number, that an exceedingly small probability is ...

Kurieuo,

The question I have for you then, is when does the zygote become a life form? Is the gastrula or blastocyst stage considered life? How do people feel about the morning-after pill? Or RU-486 (I think that is what it is called)?

Jay,

May I ask what that was in response to?

For anyone to answer: What is your basis for believing homosexuality is wrong? Can you give an example (a philosopher, etc.) that could appeal to all people regardless of religion? I realize the Bible claims homosexuality is wrong, but for people with whom that holds no water, what is your alternati...

Agnosticism or atheism does not equate missing a sense of right or wrong... morals do not require subscription to a religion. I think most people (although I am neither agnostic or atheist) would conclude that killing is wrong and that Susan Smith is wrong for what she did. However, I believe it is ...

Kmart, How did you come to that conclusion? My point was, that it shouldn't matter if a behavior, such as homosexuality, is genetic or soley behavioral... either fact should not detract from the person as a whole. Would one explanation be "OK" and the other not? Meaning, who cares whether ...

I am coming into this discussion a little late, so forgive me if this has already been discussed. Regarding homosexuality being genetic, in biological theory it is impossible to occur. Because two males or two females cannot biologically produce offspring, this gene could never proliferate in a popu...

Could someone please explain to me the methodology of intelligent design and how, in fact, it is testable and falsifiable along the standards of modern science? I have seen many claims to this argument but no evidence to back it up. All I have ever seen are arguments claiming that a particular syste...

Jbuza, I think you may be arguing the wrong subject; evolutionary theory says nothing about the age of the earth. That is a topic that should be taken up with astronomers and cosmologists. So, if opponents to ID need to read up more on ID to accurately argue and debate, I feel the same should go for...

People who are heterozygous for sickle-cell anemia cannot suffer from malaria. A person resistent to the bubonic plague cannot contract HIV (this is only seen in about 9% of Europeans, however).

What is your point? I don't follow.

What does my post have anything to do with atheism? Well, I am a scientist and I have worked with scientists for a while now and I have yet to have a religious discussion with any of them to talk about their "wanting to see how far they can go" or "what limits they can push". Mos...

Roy wrote: Scientific research seems to advocate that everything can be explained deterministically; that there is no allowance for a force that acts outside of the observable universe. What authority do they have to say this when there is no evidence to back it up? There are certainly countless num...

I really don't think the majority of scientists are scientists because they want to "see how far they can go"... usually it is because they want to make discoveries to enhance quality of life or knowledge for everyone, including you. I would be careful not to downplay scientists' work... t...
