I have my own concept of God(Supreme deity) and I support most science. What's funny is all this uproar on God, religion, and science.

Spy66, now that I understand your line of thinking a little more, there is not much there that I would argue with. Even if I might disagree on some things, at least it appears you have explored the subject rather than just become another deluded follower of man made superstitious nonsense. No doubt it is a deeply personal thing, as it should be, I suppose.
Dosn't stop others, from treating it like a doormat, or toilet paper either. To belittle, mock, insult or attack anyone for their beliefs ? Is the same thing as racism. The No.1 toy for atheists is their insults. I'm sure that if any one of them ever tried to get thru one page without an insult ? You'd prolly see words like unicorn, or spaghetti, popping up in the middle of sentences. Completely unrelated to any of the text in which it occurred.edit on 8-8-2011 by randyvs because: (no reason given)

Nope, religion is more like a political opinion, not race. When you brought it up, be prepared to defend it in a debate.

I doubt that Randy. If only your biblical version of God had your sense of humour (and was real), he would be far more likeable.

Science and religious nutter fail to prove of a god, should be the title.
I bet you a billion dollars that science will fail to ever prove the existence of, or include any such thing as a god.

Ah!
Now, I have rules about compliments partner. They must be delivered with a backhand.
But you're right, I wasn't insulted. You know what Cog ? Of course you've made good points in this thread, but for me ? The only unreal thing about God, is all seen through your eyes and your posts and others. Never, mine own. That bothers me.edit on 8-8-2011 by randyvs because: (no reason given)

I am not saying there is no God. Though the popular biblical Judeo Christian idea of God is ridiculous. He is as real as Lord Valdermort, though far more unpleasant (note the lack of references to small white horned ponies and pasta dishes ).
Though it is funny that a notion (biblical God) that ignorantly flies in the face of the most basic science, is being held up as somehow supported by it.edit on 8-8-2011 by Cogito, Ergo Sum because: (no reason given)
So tell me, how in the hell, do two adults, of at least my level of intelligence, come away from the same book,
with two such vastly different opinions, of that book and what it has recorded about God ?
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

It can be easily explained why hardly any of us share the same view about what is recorded about God in scriptures.
If we all read from the same book, we view the content of that book differently. Non of share the same mind set. Therefore we draw different conclusions about its content.
There is a saying which i often use, because its often very true;
Not everyone understands the content of what they read. But everyone believes that they do.
This applies to both religion and science.
I can give you a example of how easy it is to view different options by just reading one sentence.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
If i asked: Can earth exist if you read this sentence?
The sentence for me, simply describes the earth at the time the author wants to begin. Before the earth was formed. So yes, the earth can exist if I read that sentence.

I think the problem with this thread is with the definition of God? Why would someone even try to disprove something that you can't even define. For Christian Sun worship, would a scientist try to disprove the Sun or Saturn for the Jews? I call my God the all and everything. It is one with everything and everything is a part. How can you disprove All. Any other god is less than since it is not all. For some people, they may choose their cat as God. As for the Bible, that is easy to disprove. Just start at the beginning.
